These jeans are made in Japan by Warehouse & Co. Warehouse is known for making some of the best vintage replica garments in the world and their attention to details when it comes to material and manufacturing techniques makes it hard to tell the difference if you compare a Warehouse garment with an actual vintage piece.
In a time when jeans was becoming more and more popular in Japan the youth were looking for original vintage jeans made in USA back in the 40s 50s. They were looking to get that genuine style associated with the hay days of denim. In the 80's Levi's made decisions that came to lower the quality and durability that denim became known for and when original vintage garments became harder to find a new era for Japanese denim was born. Five brands became known as the "Osaka five" and Warehouse was one of those brands!
All these brands was influenced by the most iconic pair of blue jeans ever made namely the Levi's 501 from 1947. One can argue that blue jeans reached its perfection during this time and these jeans are a homage to that time. A tribute to the best jeans ever made and Warehouse has captured the look and feeling of a pair of vintage jeans combining it with a contemporary fit to make some of the best blue jeans produced today.
This pair is inspired by the jeans that were produced during the WW2. Warehouse & Co claims to have used all the techniques that they have accumulated during their 25 years in business. Meaning correct style leather labels, buttons, rivets, sewing and even the setup of the sewing machine is said to have been correct. They have also abolished the decorative stitching, buckles, crotch rivets, coin pockets and instead of a laurel button, they use a iron logo button. This all in a true WW2 style, since times where though and everyone needed to save. Also rations where made, so to support the making of everything needed for the war.
For the Dead Stock Blue fabric, Warehouse & Co have succeeded with all the details, for example with the thread count and the indigo rope dye to give the jeans a characteristics of vintage denim. It´s a pink line selvedge denim.
