Warehouse

[Sugar Mountain]

Hey all. Here are my Warehouse 1101, worn regularly for about 18 months I think. Gotta love how the Banner denim evolves. I began wearing them a little before my eldest son was born in 2017 and discovered a whole new world of knee fades upon his arrival 😌… Jumping forward a few years, I’ve started wearing them again recently so will aim to get better shots of them on here later down the line.

Welcome back @Sugar Mountain!

Has there ever been a Warehouse type 1 or type 2 jacket made with the 1000XX memphis cotton (6x6, 14.5oz)?

Found some more 1003XX clues, here: https://indigoveins.com/warehouse-1003xx/

I believe the creator of this blog is on sufu?

Anyway, this pair have some of the details of the one's I've just picked up, though the pair described here have flannel pocket bags and normal buttons, whereas mine have plain pocket bags and donut buttons.

Hi mate! Like Maynard says that is my not so updated blog. Rarely stops by here these days, easier to shoot me a dm on instagram (indigovein).

What do you want to know? 
 

Yours seems like a newer model than mine, going by the patch design. But I still think they used the 1000xx denim on the 1003 models back then.

Comparing the DSB with the WWII denim.
The jacket sleeve is from the Blanket lined Lot.2001XX(2000XX) which is the 7.5x7.5 pink selvedge DSB denim.
The jeans are the 25th Anniversary S1001XX (1946) 6.7x6.6 orange selvedge WWII denim.

So, I've looked again into the different types of denim by WH for the years 30-50s.
Besides the well known banner (7x7, ca. 13.5/13.75oz) and Memphis cotton denim (6x6, 14.5oz) there are at least three different other ones.

1. The new denim, WWII denim.
I think, this was first introduced with the 25th anniversary pair S1001XX (1946) (perhaps earlier?).
This denim is not DSB and has an orange selvedge.
It's 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz. And quite coarse.

The relatively recent Duck Digger Lot S1003XX  (1944 MODEL) (with the flannel pocket bags) is also of that denim.

1946 model:

1944 model:

 

 

2. Then there are two DSB.
Both have a pink selvedge. I guess, the idea is, that same as the denim has changed by oxidation in the decades of the storage, the selvedge lines have also changed.
Same with the tab, which is also pink in some pairs.
The suffix (1000XX) seems to indicate DSB. For jackets (2000XX).
a) the lighter one 7.5x7.5 ca. 13oz
Used for example for the 1953 and 1954 pairs. Also for the Lot.2001XX(2000XX) blanket lined jacket and the 1936 model.

b) the heavier one 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz.
The Lot S1003XX(1000XX)【1942MODEL】is made of this denim.

1001XX 25th anniversary

They're looking NICE!!!

Is that wear solidly throughout the 5 years since release?

[dennnnnnnnn]

Warehouse 800xx in 32, I believe they were about 81-82cm in the waist and shrunk down to 74 stretched back out to 80 in one day. I wore many slim straight pairs, Fullcount 1108, iron heart 666, flathead 3009, pbj, momotaro etc, they all stretched and sagged below my hips. These are really nice because the high rise allows my belt to sit above my hips and prevents any sagging. 
 

the denim is very rough and uncomfortable compared to the nice Zimbabwe cotton in other brands, I’m eager to break these things in hard like my flatheads. I’m going to avoid putting my cell phone and wallet in the rear pockets as it seems to promote too much stretching in the seat of the jeans.

Thank you for the kind comment but no, it got around 2 years of wear rather than 5.

That's even more impressive, to get to that stage in 2 years!

This is the latest 1101 with a new denim worn just enough to show the fading. This denim feels more true to a Big E 501 than previous versions where a 1930s banner denim was used on a 60s/70s Big E model. This denim really reminds me of what I’ve seen on 70s Type 3 jackets, and I wish I picked up one of the Warehouse models

These look great! Really bright blue!

I had to let my pair go as for some reason I went for 33 instead of 34 - if they were to re-run i would pick up a 34 for sure.

They faded super fast and the blues that were coming through were insane!

@Topnotcher I've just checked all the usual sources (as I'm sure you did too!) and no luck - that model is the most commonly re-run one in the DSB series though if it's any consolation - it's likely it will be released again pretty soon!

 

However, there is a few sizes used here:

...only one in W32 posted above is somewhat used but may be okay for you?

Incorrect denim... Apparently the denim used for the model in the link above is Banner denim, and not DSB. Thanks @indigoeagle for pointing that out.

I think, this is the banner denim (7x7 three states), while the other one is a bit different, DSB (7.5x7.5 pink selvedge).
