damn, the backpack looks pretty ace for me but the price is kinda on the crazy side. meh.

[aho]

Yup, more of J.Crew marking up the price on everything...I still laugh at how much Free & Easy goes for through them...

[Ammit]

I'd be interested to know how much these things are marked up. I'd imagine they'd be pretty pricey as is, and I don't doubt JCrew bumped the price up even more but I'd like to see how much you'd be able to find this stuff elsewhere.

[Rivet Head]

Just saw this stuff...some of the jeans have already sold out. Sort of cheating to call this stuff "one of a kind vintage". BTW, I have a real canvas mail bag...need to make a strap for it though.

haven't been on much recently, finally got some good pics of my 660s. yes, i know they're destroyed. battery acid will destroy denim. they're semi-retired. someone said i should cut them to shorts, but i feel like each pair of jeans someone has tells a story. so at least they're unique..

bought jan 3 09. worn for 5.5 months before first wash. washed probably 10-12 times?

color is pretty true. mostly in the third pic.

[-Z-]

those work shirts are so good. damn I'm drooling over the short sleeve...

and as much as I freakin' love that minnesota backpack they have on there,

being from minnesota and having Duluth Pack about a 2 hour drive from my front door makes the price unbearable, I can get virtually the same thing from them...for about 90% cheaper! and I'm not thinking the quality is any less (maybe the details aren't quite as good) they are the original after all, the J. Crew collabo looks very much like a D-Pack.

[SLAB]

jeezes, just look at the prices of those heller cafe & j crew pieces...

[lostinthesupermarket]

Even in Japan that stuff is expensive. A lot of the money seems to be going towards the cost of the washes, which are good, but mean that I will never buy the stuff.

[shinobi2000]

yawn....i don't see anything particularly exciting about those items and apparently neither do other people since only a few are marked "sold"

Got then reinforced then soaked my 1003xx's from OTE. These suckers, and their many nuances - denim, patch, bags, tabs (!!!) - are truly epic; which makes the fact that they're still - even account for their WWII cut - too big for me. Pre-soak fit:

Barring some massive, overnight weight gain, I fear these are supermarket-bound so I can downsize... Takers?

[aho]

My pre-soak 1001's fit very similar to your pre-soak 1003's and I decided to keep them...What with all the money you've put into them, why not keep? I guess I'd need to see a post soak fit to really tell, but I don't think you could go wrong with a looser fit on those...

[jaspar]

Yeah, I don't think I'd be completely crestfallen stuck with my size 31, but having tried them on post-soak, consequently know that I could never shake my preference for a 30, so I don't mind incur some small loss for some peace of mind. Ill try to snap a post-soak photo and let some sufuuls be the judge.

[Snake]

Jaspar - I agree with Aho. Those looks good on you. WWII cut should be worn loose! I am probably in the minority but here are some examples

700S

1003XX

Vintage Levi's WWII (taken from HJJ's blog - Repeat to Fade)

Hope you don't mind I post your pics here.

[aho]

Wish I could rep you there Snake...Many times when you find amazing evo pics from Japanese sites, you'll find that many of them size up from their TTS waist. All personal preference when it comes down to it, but embrace a looser fit (within reason of course!)!

[yanansi]

got a pair of 1000XX few month ago and eager to know more information about this pair of denim. i can not find any info about this type of patch, can anyone help? thanks a lot

[not too tight]

The 1000X denim is the same that is used with Double Works 660. I don't know much about it other than that. Here are some pics of worn in pairs using that denim.

[jaspar]

Coincidentally, Snake, the fit I'm after is your's in you 1001xx's.

I tend toward a looser fit in most styles. With my 2 pairs of Sams I sized up one - on my 21oz'ers I'd have sized up 2 if I hadn't gotten a deal on that pair thru supermarket - and I've been elated with the outcome. These fit truly bigger than I estimated, however. I think I'd appreciate just a slightly slimmer thigh, and could comfortably go without and additional inch in the waist. They currently ride about 2.5" down from my true waist. As opposed to 1" as I feel like the fit intends.

[aho]

^Fair enough, but I still say let's see more pics! Particularly larger ones with more details

[mikecch]

+1 for sizing one up from TTS Much better whiskering!

[Maynard Friedman]

Jaspar,

How have you had that crotch reinforced? Is it simply a denim patch stitched over or is it something else?

[jaspar]

^ I had it done by Schaeffer's Garment Hotel - one of a growing # of denim tailors here in LA - run by Rob Schaeffer who used to manage Denim Dr's/HTC. They seem to be fastest as all their work's done in house:

http://schaeffersgarmenthotel.wordpress.com/

Their method is an 'invisible reinforcement' similar/identical to the way all reputable jeans repairers patch holes or augment spots. The fabric seems to be a gauzey cotton on the jeans' interior, over/thru which they then run accordingly dark/light blue thread intended to fade as your jeans do. That thread binds to the denim and actually does the bulk of the reinforcing. In this case they also doubled-up on fabric over the seam.

my 660s' have the worst leg twist, it causes the end to flare out, anybody know how to fix this or if this'll fix itself?

[Stacks]

leg twist only gets "worse" over time, embrace it

[Snake]

Just to clarify, those fit pics are from Warehouse's blog. Not me.

Jaspar - I see your point. Good luck selling your pair. Post some fit pics when you get the new pair.

Yanansi - Good score. I believe its 1000 oxidation denim judging from the patch. Like this pair ? Warren models use the same denim.

Edit: The guy wearing the 1003xx sized up two. He usually wears 29/30 and he's wearing size 32 in those pics.
