Warehouse

1001SXX I’ve had these for a few years now. My son seems to have “borrowed“ them so I never get to wear them anymore. I used to have a pair of 1000XX 10th anniversary which I thought looked better. You can’t really go wrong with Warehouse though !

Received them raw from FromJapan yesterday (good experience with them). Very happy so far. They're a tad big of course and I'm now going to wash them.

Black 1001XX fit post wash. Very happy. Didn’t do a full dry cycle so they probably have a little more shrink in them.

(Sweater is Tender BTW.)

Very nice

Received these 1004XX's in yesterday, didn't realize these were going to be marketed as part of the Deadstock Blues series.
The denim feels and looks quite different than my other DSB paid (since it is a new denim after all). Feels a little more irregular after a wash than most WH denim.
These are listed as a 1936 repro: cinchback, crotch rivet, higher on the waistband coin pocket, 4 button fly.
The iron used on the cinch feels pretty heavy compared to some other brands that I've worn in the past.
I really like the fact that they didn't stitch the tab down on this pair, I'll get some post wash photos and measurements later.
Here are the raw measurements.
Waist: 38 in.
Front rise: 13.5 in.
Back rise: 17 in.
Thigh: 14.5 in.
Knee: 11 in.
Hem: 10 in.
Inseam: 34.5 in.

Post wash measurements:
Waist: 35.5 in.
Front rise: 13 in.
Back rise: 16.5 in.
Thigh: 14 in.
Knee: 10 in.
Hem: 9.25 in.
Inseam: 32 in.

So jealous… those look awesome

I’m curious about the rise and how it feels @broark ?

Just wore them for the first time today and the rise feels good, not quite as high as my FW S601XX but still ample.
Not sure if it comes across in the photos or not, but the pattern on this pair kind of reminds me of the pair of CSF that I have. The hips kind of come in a bit and the waist goes straight up from that. So when worn they feel a little snug in the hips but loose in the waist if that makes sense.

@Broark 

Man, you are the denim king!  So many nice pick ups recently, and these are by far the best imo.

Interestingly, l have some pics (now unfortunately uploaded to my ancient laptop) of an original pair like this, with the centre-back belt loop stitched under like your 36 dsb's. Think Flash found them on the Berberjin blog or similar.

I wonder if they are a factory or custom thing as despite seeing images of quite a number of late 30's 501's (and there are more pairs out there than l previously imagined),  l've only seen one pair like this (?)

I suppose we'll only ever know if/when Warehouse have another one of their vintage sell offs and hopefully these might get included. 

[Broark]

@Dr_Heech here are a few vintage examples I found on Marvin's that look similar.
At first glance most of these have very similar details to the Warehouse repros: center back belt look, branded back pocket rivets, similar coin pocket position, etc.
Let me know if these look similar to the ones you were referencing!

Those middle pair from Marvins look to be the same, or similar, where the back centre belt loop is stitched under, like your WH '36 dsb repros.

Most other 1936-42 501's have a regular stitched belt loop like the other 2 examples you posted from Marvins.

Does that make sense?

 

Anyway my main reason of interest is that weird back belt loop. If it's a custom thing, then fine, as there's plenty of evidence to suggest that Levis did that for customers with jackets. But if it isn't a custom thing, then for a very (very) small period of 501XX production, in and around say 1936/7, hidden rivet Levis may have had this feature. So hold that thought.

Going back to the vintage denim thread, l posted a ds pair of earlier 501XX with exposed back pocket rivets which also had this belt loop feature. This may mean that this brief period of production was just before the 1936/1937 type model was introduced. So the ds pair would have been made after the NRA tag was stopped being used  around late 1935.

I'm going to go back over to the vintage denim thread to take another look at those guarantee tickets

From minute 4:25 . The fit of the jeans is great.

Anyone got a link to a size chart or experience sizing the S1000XX? The Bureau Belfast has them in stock in a 30/32 and I might order from them anyways, and I am looking for my next pair once the TCB contest is done and dusted ...

[Flash]

Pricing isn't all that bad , especially the type 2 ... May head over sometime this week and give it a look

Bidding a very fond farewell to my 1001X, a 2008 model that I purchased (new) in ~2010. These have always looked great regardless of weight fluctuations over the years and I’ve yet to find a pair that fits better. Unfortunately, these are worn so thin that they’re due for retirement. I’ll bring them in for one more repair, after which they’ll mainly live in my closet.

What an epic pair @jstavrin, bravo!

Thanks bud! Hope you’ve been well.

Not a whole lot of change from the last pics but there definitely starting to take shape . This is the first time in a while that I've been excited about how a denim is wearing .

 

 

 

 

The 46's are gonna have to wait quite a while

Agreed, my 1922's are the business imo, just wish l had the dosh for some more pieces.

[cusswords]

I just picked up my first raw jacket in a few years. It’s the DSB Copper Button 2001XX. Warehouse continues to outdo themselves and ,IMO, there is very little competition for best repro jackets at the moment. I’m loving the oversized pocket and the mismatched orange and yellow thread. I’ll put some more photos up once I break it in with more wear. 
 

[scooby]

@Flash here are mine so far, we are neck and neck 

This batch of banner denim is especially good. Kept it’s initial coarseness much longer than other pairs I’ve had

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Warehouse Lee 1002 WW2 just up on the BEARS site and already sold out in some sizes.

[SLAB]

I've got my pair ready to go! I've been anticipating this release

[Broark]

I also (of course) have a pair of the Leepro's on the way. 
I've been enjoying the the 1004XX 1936's so far, the fit has grown on me as the hips have relaxed a little bit. I will get some fit pics up eventually.
However I wanted to point of a few gripes I have with them...
1.) These probably have the most shallow pocket bags of any WH jeans I've bought. WH pocket bags typically are shallow to begin with, these are even shorter.
2.) I'm not sure if it's just the construction on my pair or what, but I am not able to pull the cinch through the back loop of the buckle. It can go through where the front part where the teeth are, but it can't be looped back in like on most cinches. The fabric is folded too thick, and the opening of the cinch isn't wide enough. Here are some photos of what I'm referring to. Basically the cinch can go through the area it's intended to on the buckle, but cannot be tucked back through the area on the left side of the buckle. It's a small issue but I prefer to loop the end of the cinch back through this side of the buckle.

[Maynard Friedman]

I’ve had difficulty with that before Broark but always managed to get the cinch strap through in the end. Obviously the denim is thicker there as it’s doubled over but can you pinch it with pliers to flatten it and then squeeze it through?

[Broark]

Thanks @Maynard Friedman, I've tried that and I'm able to get the thinner half of the cinch in through the back.
However the center where the denim is folded the thickest is still not pulling through.
I'll keep working on it and see if I'm able to force it through.
