jonny you won't be disappointed with the 1000XX. The denim is darker than other WH from what I've seen. If you'd like i can take some detailed shots of mine in a couple of days to help you decide

Just joined tthe club, finally. Bought a pair of 660's on the bay, washed but never worn. Denim is mental - nothing like my Samurai's, crinkly is definitely the word. Fitpics soon.

[aho]

welcome to the club...wear hard and wash often!

[Vicarious]

Hey all.

So, after about four days of wear, here are my 660's - Courtesy of Jonny!

I don't think I could have asked for a better fit - The knee to hem taper is more or less what I was looking for, and whilst the upper thigh area is a bit snug (I've fallen off the wagon a bit, exercise-wise ) the fit is definitely not tight, nor restrictive anywhere. The waist fits absolutely perfectly.

I thought about getting them hemmed, but I sort of like the scrappy rolled-up cuff I've given them. We'll see. These are now in rotation with my 710's, and hopefully they will be the last jeans I get for at least another year - My wallet needs a break, and these need to be broken in!

[Vicarious]

Thanks! Yeah, a pair of Red Wings wouldn't go astray, I'll definitely have a pair by next winter at the latest.

Thanks Greaser. I like them a lot, glad the heads approve too.

It's a Dubbleworks model rather than Warehouse, perhaps that explains it?

[Quoise1203]

I doubt you'll see it in the Warehouse catalog, as it is a model sold exclusively at Blue in Green, I believe.

Warren 108 at 6.5 months, 3 hand washes

[oboy_oboy]

Not the best pics ever but sharing some evo on the 700Js I have in rotation. Just under 2 calendar years, but they don't get anywhere near aily wear. Hard use for the first 6 months or so, then steady, now a bit less frequent as they are a slightly fuller cut than I like. But they have had some adventures for sure!

What can I expect for shrinkage on Warehouse? I'm looking at:

Warehouse 700 OW in 30 or 31 (depending on shrinkage)

and Warehouse 1000xx in 30 OW or 30 raw

[setterman]

The One Wash versions have already been washed, so shrinkage will be minimal (not enough to effect fit unless you're already wearing them skin tight). Measurements are up on BiG, buy the OW model that's closest to what you're looking for. My advice would be to get the 1000XX since it's no longer in production. You can get the 700 any time. Also, if you're looking at a size 30 in the 700, you might want to consider the 29 in the 1000XX. The measurement for the two are the same above the knee.

Good call on the Ware1000x in 29. Although the 8.75 knee is kinda tight, im assuming it'll stretch like the Flatheads have. BIG doesnt have 29 in OW.. Im assuming the raws will shrink down to the OW sizing?

(I was going BiG this whole time already, lol thanks)

Edit: I'm leaning towards Warehouse but, just curious, how's the quality compared to Momotaro and FullCount?

Edited December 18, 2012 by PhillyFresh

[setterman]

yes, raws will shrink down to the OW measurement on BiG.

I have no experience with Momotaro, but Fullcount and Warehouse are very similar in quality and construction. I wouldn't put one above the other.

winter sale in japan...wonder if there are any good deals?

speaking of good deals (completely shameful plug), my WHxLee's are marked down for the holidays, $150 shipped conusa, brand new without tags....can't believe yallz sleeping on this pair!

[SLAB]

if only they were a size smaller!

[oboy_oboy]

Rolled the dice w/ the 660 cut and lost. Finally learned my lesson. Should anyone be seeking a size 31, I'll be listing them shortly.

Original hem, one warm soak. Only tried on. $150.

^I feel your pain, took me 2 tries to get the fit right in the waist...May you find the proper fit in a Warehouse jean in the future!

[oboy_oboy]

Yeah I love my 700Js for a fuller cut but I struggle to find the a combination of straight top block/thigh w/ some decent taper from knee (not thigh) down to hem.

I sort of enjoy the experimentation but its also frustrating in its own way to be sure!

[aho]

^Not sure if you've tried the 800 cut then? Although I'd def. try to get some different denim from WH if you do another pair (possibly the new 60's cut, the 1100, which is 7x7) to mix it up...

[grooveholmes]

Just bought a pair of the 1100 and waiting for them to arrive. Probably not a wise decision with the Devis project coming up, but what the hey-- you only live once.

[aho]

^LOL let me know how they turn out, want a pair myself...WH said they run a size larger and while I wear a 32 in 1001XX etc, they suggested a 33...Was going to pull the trigger on these and/or the TCB60's denim but alas I'm short on funds for now!

[grooveholmes]

Will do, sir. I'll post initial pics for sure. Unfortunately, they'll get sporadic wear with the contest coming up. They were on discount, but still ended up costing about $200 shipped. With regard to sizing, I sized up to a 34 for the same reasons you mentioned.

My apologies, I know this should be on the small ? thread but I never can get an answer.

Q: Does anyone know if the WH 101b's or Z's stretch after the initial soak?

Info, I'm a 37" , I usually buy 38 in this case the 101b's size 34+37 w/ a 1" shrink & the 36=39 w/ a 1" shrink according to BIG which are spot on in my experience. I

If you have any info I'd appreciate it.

Also, is their a vast difference between WH & Lee Archives? Thanks again.

[setterman]

I'm sure the Lee's stretch. I was lusting after a pair of the 101s, but the sizing deterred me. I'm a 38 in the 1001 and 700 (and they're a little big), but I couldn't decided between the 34 or 36 in the 101. If you're 37" in the waist, the 34 would definitely be the way to go. The 36s will never be small enough in the waist for you.
