Warehouse Lot 700, 1000XX denim

Warehouse Lot 700 is a jeans I've been pining for the last months. Luckily for me, my good friend noticed (thanks Kaoru!), and I received it from him as a Christmas present. He got it for me on a trip to Japan, directly from a Warehouse & Co shop in Tokyo. Needless to say, Warehouse is known for their extremely well-produced jeans, using only the finest Memphis cotton; my pair is no exception!

I've worn them since 1.1.11, and they've already become soft and creasy. As an additional bonus, for these jeans I will do my utmost to document the evolution over an extended period of time, catching the process of fading through hard (and not so hard) wear. This will also be featured in the thread "Osaka showdown" on SuFu's Superdenim forum, which you should be sure to check out. I will attempt to get back on the subject as soon as possible!


Now I proudly present to you, the first pictures of my 700s:
