That makes sense. Thanks, guys.

I'll always regret not picking up a pair of WWII DSB's. Amazing denim!

They might be released again, no?
Plus 1941 and 1942 and a few others are still available in DSB.
Not sure, what model you're interested in.

indeed very complicated and confusing system. i have always been wanting a pair of wwii, but ended up confusing by the product catalog...

So the standard 1001xx has banner denim?

In the current system- yes.

I think, before it was 1001 with banner denim and 1001XX with memphis. Now that nomenclature has changed as dicussed above.

[indigoeagle]

So, after reading a bit more about it (I found the Junky Style and the Select Shop Sunday blogs especially informative) I think there are the following denim fabrics now (besides some lighter ones for Navy work pants):

1. Banner denim- 13.75oz

2. Memphis - 14.5oz

and introduced in the recent years:

3. DSB- Dead stock blue
this apparently can be recognized by the pink selvedge-
it comes in two different kinds:
a) 7.5 x 7.5 (13.5 oz) and
b) 6.7 x 6.6 (14 oz sometimes referred to as 14.5 oz)
The DSB was described by one of the founding Shiotani brothers as there is "nothing above it", i.e. it's the ultimate, that can be created in new vintage-like denim.

4. New WWII denim (this seems to sometimes get called new denim or WWII denim or new WWII denim)
This can be recognized by the orange selvedge.
6.7 x 6.6 (ca. 14oz, sometimes described as 14.5oz).

Not epic like Shredwin’s, but then I rarely get off my arse.

[unders]

Been lurking @Geeman. Looked like you had it all in hand 

[MJF9]

I think I know which particular northerner Gee means

[edwardlj]

Sorry but I have a good excuse... there was no way I could commit to these if I couldn't wear my @Duke Mantee belt

Am going to try my best and wear these a good chunk of the year

What model are these Scoobs? They look 1920's?

I wear my 1922's with my Duke belt - l specifically chose a lighter/thinner leather to be more comfortable when worn over the brace buttons. It's perfect!

 

[scooby]

@Dr_Heech they're 1901's!

Did you add the belt loops yourself or have l missed something? (.. as usual ). 

 

[Hopethisoneisnttaken]

I need a general Warehouse advice please - since I don’t own any trousers/jeans from WH, do they usually shrink to tag size? Feel free to share your experience.

Haha! That is precisely what I was getting at

I couldn't convince myself to commit to a pair that couldn't wear a nice belt with. Admittedly not a huge fan of wearing suspenders either 

[Maynard Friedman]

Did you make them yourself or take them off another pair? Also, are there 5 loops?

I have the 1001 in Banner Denim (~13.5oz) and the 800 in 14.5oz denim, both size 36 and purchased unsanforized. Pre-soak waist measurements were around 37” using the BiG method. Both pairs measured ~34.5” after a hot soak and cold machine wash, so roughly 2”-2.5” of shrink at the waist. Both stretch back to tag size/36”, the Banner Denim easily, the 14.5oz denim with a bit of difficulty, about a week’s worth of uncomfortable wear. 
 

Keep an eye on the inseam length measurement, too. I got 2.5”-3” of inseam shrink with soak/wash routine mentioned above.

5 loops off another pair. They fit better than ever now

Well, in this case we can ease with reloading WH page constantly.

I just pre ordered via celluloid (IG) if you're still interested in items from this collection.

Lovely composition.

A few quick pictures of my S1000XX-DSB (purchased from Warehouse). Also took some pics next to a pair of 'new' (worn ~10 days) S1001HXX-DSB (purchased from Hinoya with Hinoya specs). Worn pretty much exclusively for ~18 months with some other pairs randomly rotated in. Very regular washing after ~4 months of wear; sometimes 4-5x a month, sometimes 1x a month. Sometimes hang dried, sometimes thrown in the dryer. Sometimes washed hot, sometimes washed cold. Recently had to send off to Denim Therapy in NYC for preventative crotch repairs; first time using a service other than Indigo Proof and can say they did a great job. No real rhyme or reason to any of it, but like how they're coming along.

Top notch @tooth. And you’re washing regime (or lack of a consistent one) just shows we don’t need to baby them.
