I love my 1001sxx man theyre part of osaka5 ofr a reason ill need to pickup a pair of 50's cut sda with super high front rise any reco!?

@brownmetallic the wey is your best fitting jeans in my eyes, what's your own fave?

Honestly, right now, they're my no.1 fave, in terms of silhouette & comfortability. I'm contemplating on getting my Okis tapered to the exact leg proportions since the top blocks are similar ... just need to find a competent tailor w/proven forum cred.

i can relate to all the recent WH love, ive been wearing the anniversary 1003sxx a lot b/c it's so comfortable and while it's suppose to be the same denim as the 800 that i have from several years ago, its darker and slubbier....i'd also be interested in an sda with a higher rise, do they do that?

If you can still find a pair then SDA-001 have a higher rise than the 101 and are a delicious left hand twill to boot.

There are a few sizes available here: http://www.jeans-izumi.co.jp/products/detail40.html

Check out the sd102. It's a true 50s anti fit similar to tcb 50s

[edmond]

Agh sda 102 i cant find measurements on washed though

[nycsurfer530]

^yeah the only measurements I see are raw.

On a warehouse note, I just submitted an order form via ware-house.co.jp for the type 1 2001xx in a size 40. Anyone ordered from them before?

[Broark]

Bought a pair of natural indigo 1001's from Warehouse directly earlier this year, fast shipping and pretty straightforward.

[cmo]

I got my 1105's from them in Aug. No dramas but be prepared for customs fees if applicable in your country.

[nycsurfer530]

Cheers, that's good to hear. I'm just hoping the 40 works well. My chest measures 40.5" and I have broad shoulders but a 30 waist so I may just need some getting used to the loose cut through the waist.

'Pondered about my current jeans situation.

Re-measured the WEY:

Tagged W34= 34.5" :: f/rise= 12, b/rise= 16.5, u/thigh= 13, knee= 9, hem= 8

13:9:8 = leg ratio ... comfy w/o the floppy

WEY top block shape is similar to the 1001XX & Okis__ in measurements, as well:

@W34: w= 34, f/r= 12, b/r= 16.5 & u/t= 13

... with knee @9.5 & hem @9 ... the differences [vs WEY] are 1/2" & 1" [measured flat] respectively ... but, man! What a big difference in look, feel & wear.

I Lâ¤VE my 1001XX & 2 Okis, but ppl's taste & preference change over time ... @tm I'm just not feeling the 9" leg opening ... i said to myself a long time ago, "I'd rather sell than alter" ... on the other hand, I'm thinking, it's just a light tapering procedure ... i can roll the dice ... RFG can handle that, right?!

Mosdef I don't want to sell ... Peeps, what do u think?! ... 🎼🎶 Should I stay or should I roll ?!

BM,

I'm in the same boat, I love the top block, rises and thighs of 50s cut jeans but a 9"(ish) hem on a size 32 doesn't do it for me anymore. I realised this once I started wearing Ande Whall Buffalos with an 8" hem (size 31). I'm considering selling pairs that will have a hem over 8.5" post-wash.

However, I have had 3 pairs tapered to an 8" hem: SC Okis, Momo 0901 and LVC 37s. I've only worn the LVC and I'm happy with them, my only issue is that if you cuff them (and I only ever do a small single cuff) the inner leg seam (inseam, I know!) that has been tapered is wider than the original - the 2 new rows of stitching are set further back from the overlooked edge. It's a minor issue but still irritating to the denim aficionado who racks up thousands of posts on forums (fora) like this. This happened with my Momos and Okis, tapered at a specialist tailor and my LVCs, tapered at the LVC flagship store in London.

Anyway, if you like the jeans enough and can't get them in a more tapered cut, then I say go for it. Try it with one pair and take it from there.

[mikecch]

Hey BM, I say taper them my friend.

I recently took 3 pairs of 'new old-stock' jeans to get them tapered in anticipation of being able to (wanting to) wear them more.

No problems I say, if the pants are too long make them shorter... too wide, make them narrower!

[itsbenhere]

Just make sure that you go somewhere reputable; jeans are designed in mind to be made shorter, they're not made for you to change the cut completely.

[BrownMetallic]

BM .... my only issue is that if you cuff them (and I only ever do a small single cuff) the inner leg seam (inseam, I know!) that has been tapered is wider than the original - the 2 new rows of stitching are set further back from the overlooked edge.

Most of the time I do cuff ... single, double, even monster sometimes ... depending on the cut vs footwear ... & the messy [altered] state is not a "minor" deal for me ... gives nightmares. Hence, I swore never to send a well-made pair of jeans to be altered[/butchered], ever.

Given proper tools, I think I can still do a decent taper job. I used to work in the garment industry long, long time ago ... but, that's another story.

Anyway, I wouldn't accept anything less than a "taper & trim"__ i.e., seam edge is trimmed out w/ an overlock or edging machine right up to its sewing tolerance, before applying the topstich back to the inseam__ hopefully, w/ matching color topstich thread. Reason being: Aside from seeing a clean seam edge when cuffed, the resulting seam crease fade would be uniform & run parallel to the seam itself as jeans wear in ... like it normally should.

@BM, railcar did a pretty great job tapering my 3005's. They had approx 8.7" opening at a length of about 31". I asked railcar to taper opening to 8" without affecting the knee or inseam length. The opening ended up at about 7.75" post taper with no effect to the rest of the cut. Pretty reasonable i'd say.

[BrownMetallic]

Thanks for the input, peeps.

@SJ__ Do u still see the original inseam edge or did RFG trim out the excess after taper ?!

[HAZARDkid]

does anyone have any experience with the warehousexburgusplus 880? The measurements on hinoya have ~32.7 for size 32 and ~33.8 for size 33 not sure how i should go. Also thinking of maybe just grabbing a pair of 800s the consensus for those are just tts correct? Thanks. Just came back on the site to sell some stuff but then got myself hooked again... smh

[nycsurfer530]

Love my 800s, can't go wrong with them.

Just paid for my type 1 and received my tracking info. Super easy to order from warehouse directly. The incessant tracking has begun!

By chance, do u have a photo of the inseam inside out?!

[pudaspriest]

BrownMetallic -- here is the inseam of a pair of jeans I had tapered by railcar a few years ago. 

 

[BrownMetallic]

Outstanding!

Thanks PP

[ShootThePier]

Mine from Railcar look the same. In other words, other than the fit, there is no visual signs of alterations.

I gotta go get a USPS Priority box and send in two pairs.

[Cucoo]

Shameless plug, selling a pair of size 32 Duckdigger - link is in my sig.

[aho]

Random thought...I picked up a pair of vintage 1953 Levis and want to compare the fabrics to the banner denim, anniversary denim and 1000xx...I think 1000xx might match it best but embarassingly I don't have any truly beaten in pairs of WH other than my 1001s...

[Flash]

Nevermind Warehouse we need some pics of the levis aho .....

[edmond]

Ahhh ducksigger will come ss17 awesome fabric in regular cuts

[nycsurfer530]

^might have to jump on that. My type 1 should arrive tomorrow!
