Warehouse

@Alec Leamas I sized up but I could've gone with my normal size and probably would've been happier with the fit

Can anyone help me ID these or tell me the cut and fabric about these ones. I just found them in a box I've had for storage in 10-15 years. Didn't like the cut back then but now I quite like it. So thinking of start using them.

@Newman - they’re the Duckdigger DD108 - the same as the original Warehouse Warren DD108 (I wore one pair to threads years ago and have another pair squirrelled away). They’re a late 40s cut I believe and made with an oxidised 1000XX denim of about 14-14.5oz that’s supposed to give them some kind of unique, authentic ageing (I don’t think it does). They’re from around 2007 and Warehouse produced them after the Levi’s lawsuit when they started to move away from strict repros with red tabs and Levi’s style arcs (yours have the lasso loops) but then moved back in that direction again. I hope that’s useful, you can find a bit more information in this thread or via a Google search and also some old Lighting magazines.

They’re great jeans, well done on the (re)discovery!

@Maynard Friedman ok cool, thanks for the info, I will try to dig up the post with your pair :).  

Just tried them and they seem to fit quite nicely even though I'm not used to the fit. 

What do you guys say, keep or sell?

Keep, they look quite good

Are they one wash or raw?  If the former, they look like they fit well and look nice jeans.  If they're going to shrink in the wash, that might be an issue

Anything else squirreled away?  

[Newman]

@mjf9 they are one wash so the short inseam should be okeyish. Otherwise I agree they are too short. Will have to wear these  uncuffed, which is nice for a change so I can see the roping. I decided to keep them as they are super comfortable. 

Yes I actually found a Steam Locomotive unsanforized unwashed denim jacket as well 

[MJF9]

Good news.  I think the length looks good mate.  Good luck with them.

Looking forward to the Steam Locomotive pics!!

[Alec Leamas]

Definitely keep! Fit looks great. What a thing to have stashed away!! Haha
