Evisu is still loved!

D85 denim was called No.2 before it became No.3.

 

No.1 Specials and Galway boots:

 

hi thank you for the info

Hi Guys, Im new to Evisu and recently purchased a pair of Evisu No.2 Online, surprisingly the selvedge line is actually red and white

is this a fake??? :( :(

  

 Seems you bought original No.2 , which they did have in a red/white stripe alternating selvage 

[Warakia]

Yep, there were some red/white No.2's produced by Evisu international.

Yep, there were some red/white No.2's produced by Evisu international.

Some? It was the bulk of their selvage output for several years. Most Evisu International denim from approx 2000 to 2008ish will have that selvage with a printed, not stamped, No.2 on a fake leather patch.

[Warakia]

Weird, I have multiple pre 2008 No.2's and none of them have that. But none of them were d85 though.

And they were all Macau-made Evisu International? I think they might have started using the No.2 designation on some of the later Italian-made stuff back when they were changing over.

 

At the time, and before I found this place, I often wondered what happened to the No.1 stuff...

Cheers for the link, even if he's talking loud 'n' saying not a fat lot!

 

Interesting that he mentions two or three new stores in the UK next year. Any ideas? Manchester for one, I'd imagine, and maybe Leeds or Newcastle? Glasgow? I doubt Birmingham will get one as although we're in the middle of the country (well, England anyway) we're too close to London...

Crazy taper..you got some BiG measurements for us? 

Edited August 29, 2013 by beautiful_FrEaK

[bod]

Those are BIG measurements above, post shrink numbers to come when dry.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thanks, just saw them. so 1" below tag size raw. the price point let them look like No.1 denim but it isn't stated anywhere. Or do you know if that will be the new run of No.1 denim?

[bod]

I think No.1 is still using red selvage but the denim is a new run comparing the new pair I bought a few weeks ago.

 

These certainly shrink like 'No.1'

Thanks for the info. Really looking forward how they fit you. From the measurements they remind me a bit of Fullcount 1101. You went with a proxy to get them? Which one did you use?

[bod]

Sutocorp. Now the long wait till they dry, might have to switch the heating on to speed it up.

Any idea why they aren't stamped on the patch no.?

[Max Power]

Great looking denim and measurements (besides the really strong taper). please provide post soak measurements. Thanks.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If the waist would measure 35" raw I would insta-cop

Sizing up to 36...even bigger thighs.

It's like a true carrot fit?

It's like a true carrot fit?

 Like a true Evisu fit.

 

Another year… Lot 2000 going on 6 years.

 

 

Jerky, distorted patch.

 

 

 

 

This denim ropes like no other.

 

 

 

Black and White Selvedge.

 

 

[CrashTestBrummie]

Love those gulls so much! Jeans look quality, so much better than a lot of the six-month force fades you see on here. Proper mint.

[bod]

Post soak measurements:

 

 

Waist: 16"

Inseam: 34.75"

Front rise: 11"

Back rise: 14"

Thigh: 13.25"

Knee: 9.5"

Hem: 18.5cm

 

Very coarse denim, reminds me of texas cotton ala sammy 0500.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thanks for the measurements. you only soaked, no machine wash, right?

measurements look fine (although I'd take a 2000 cut in this denim anytime)

 

and yeah, the denim has a "character"

[bod]

Just a soak, I'd say they're done but i'll give them another one tomorrow.
