Max, those fit very similar to my 800s, you'll love them. Glad your using them for DWC, i'm thinking about using my FullCountxSignet special run 0105s for DWC

[Maynard Friedman]

Max, I'm worried for those jeans. My Warrens have faded relatively quickly and I'm not sure Warehouse has the sturdiest construction or toughest denim (nice as it is). I think you'll destroy them within a year.

^That makes them the perfect pair for him in my eyes!

[setterman]

Oh, he'll be good.  Though, if he wears them 18 to 24 months, they're probably gonna be in rough shape.  Three to four months of wear and you should start to see some nice fading

Maynard,

 

My 800's are one of my favorite pairs of jeans, though relatively new.  What is it about the denim or construction that may be somewhat lacking compared to others?  With all the talk of breaking Samurai threads, I'm also curious to know which brands you favor in terms of both construction quality and denim.

 

These are important question to me considering my weekly hikes up Kilimanjaro or when I'm at home watching old Breaking Bad reruns ;-)

 

Thanks.

John

All cotton stitching rather than polycotton, I've already had to reinforce mine at various points on the crotch seam plus the back pocket arcuates virtually disintegrated, all after a few months wear. Just my experience. I don't think the stitching and denim is particularly weak per se but we all know what a denim monster Max is and he's used to heavy Iron Heart and Samurai denim. Plus, if they fade quickly, he'll be sporting white jeans at the end of the contest if it's 2 years!

EDIT: construction-wise my SDA 101s have been pretty solid.

Thats Max Power sitting on the car after his last denim contest.

some might like cotton construction and cotton arcs, and i think (max correct me if i'm wrong) his jeans don't have arcs. i will say my 800s that i've had for 8 months of wear are beginning to lose the construction around the crotch with the stitching coming undone. but overall the denim has held quite well with no frays or holes. i will definitely need to repair the construction around the crotch in the coming weeks.

 

its all just a difference of preferences.

Haha, you're killing me. I'll try my best, but I'll rotate a bit with my 710 BKB to make sure they'll last long enough.

[JohnM]

Max, are yours the regular 800's or the Kaigai model with denim pocket bags?  Was curious about the latter since mine are the standard model.

[Ciabatta]

Max those 800's look great on you.

I always wondered what the Kaigai model was about. Mine have normal pocket bags.

Had a quick trawl though this thread, but it's massive! Could anyone point me toward a size guide for the Warehouse 900? These ones...

[Maynard Friedman]

Have you had a look at the Warehouse site, I think they're listed there. Caliroots are selling them for €200 now.

Couldn't see them on the Warehouse site, and Caliroots chart doesn't have quite enough detail. I might just pop into SOAS.

Top man. Thank you.

Max, I asked Gordon at BiG about the differences between the Kaigai and regular 800 models.  Here is (some of) what he said:

 

- The Kaigai 800 uses a combination of Orange and Yellow topstitching threads, the regular 800 uses all Orange topstitching.

 

- The Kaigai 800 has a woven label at the back left side while the regular 800 has a paper label under the leather patch.

 

- The rivets on the Kaigai 800 are a brighter color vs the darker rivets of the regular 800.

 

- The Kaigai 800 has light weight denim pocket bag lining, while the regular 800 uses white cotton fabric.

 

- The Kaigai 800 has Red bar tack stitching next to the right rear pocket. This can be removed if preferred.

 

[Max Power]

^splendid, thank you!

 

A new fit pic, two days in and they stretched perfectly. I sit a lot at work, so I get combs and whiskers pretty fast, resulting in weird hip flare an my usual knee pockets. I hope it settles with more wear & washes.

Update on the 660's

Starting to show a little more

[Bobbo]

Family photo, faded 1001's and barely worn 1001XX. 

 

[setterman]

Those the same tagged size?  Surprising how much wider the leg is on the darker pair.  

[Bobbo]

Nah, the 1001XX is a 32 while the 1001 is a 31. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

As I wrote some time ago, the stitching on my front pockets broke after 2-3 weeks.

Finally, I repaired them.

 

First pocket, quite shoddy

 

Then my GF said I should double up the stiching.

 

Progress of the second pocket....

 

 

Much better result

[Vicarious]

Cross from the scone thread.

660. Still going strong.

the texture is sublime.

I'm ordering my first pair of Warehouse, looking at Lot 900 specificly.

 

I noticed that 900s from shops like Caliroots and Tuckshop have two red bars and a white tag on left, but those on Warehouse's own webstore have the white tag under patch and no red bar.

 

Are these difference due to import/export/trademark restriction?

[Projectp]

The caliroots and tuckshop models look similar to the Kaigai models at BiG, including the denim pocket bags, red bar tacks, and placement of the white tag. I didn't look too closely, but the inseam might also be longer on those in comparison to the Warehouse store version, which is also the case for the 800s at BiG. Gordon explained to me these are overseas versions but didn't go in to any details concerning trademark restrictions.

Edited to reflect correct model number (800 instead of 900).

Edited February 20, 2015 by Projectp

[JohnM]

I believe the Kaigai version of the 800 also has a longer inseam than the regular 800.

[cmo]

I don't see the 900's on BIG website... Do they gave them in store?
