Paulo

CTB that jacket shipped yesterday hopefully it gets here tommorrow otherwise ill have to wait till tuesday.

I e-mailed Evisu Savile Row about painting the jeans a few days ago and never got a response, are they always slow like that?:confused:

Yes they are!

Went to the sample sale.

CONS: Tons of crap washed denim

PLUS:Some of ok denim £20-£45 and tshirts for £10. Lots of stuff nothing amazing though.

It's not really the Evisu we know - it's run out of a Hong Kong office, they're cheap, and they're amateurish. Some of the people on the NYC side seem cool, but I've had dealings with the HK people... and they're wide-boys.

Yeah i guessed they might not be the sharpest tool in the box.

The website just managed to get worse then it was! Sales must be going down...

Shame really the japanese website is so much nicer. Maybe they should hire me i wouldnt mind moving to Hong Kong.

They still need to get a fucking proof-reader...

Bestford (Hong Kong) Limited (Asia Pacific and Middle Easy)

haha. For a brand that sells premium items like they do they really need a better site.

Who the hell is Evisu taking advice from? Who builds a site using tables these days and whats with the cheap shopify skinning...

edit: i think its now being fully ran out of Hong kong...

Jup, unfortunately they don't make them in #1.

Nothing with a zip comes in #1.

Judging by the original price and tag, they were sourced from Savile Row...

Selfridges i was going to say.

Yes im still not sure on what im doing with those. Devilva that second offer you made is mighty tempting however size 30 might just be too tight and lot 2001 is abit baggy specially as im kinda short!

edit: Just checked they are size 30.

I'm always on the lookout for 0005's, my favorite fit, so quite happy with this steal:

Seller had the same pair in size 30 listed last week, but I lost that one. Got this one cheaper and my size as well.

Not a huge fan of the cut. Still have a dead stock pair of lazy S cant remember if its 30 or 31 but still cant decide what to do with them.

Hey Paulo, you around at the end of April? I promised Kanji that I'd show him the jeans once I'd started wearing them, so a trip down to London is in the offing...

Yeah im arround and im working closer to the store so easy for me to get to.

Soaked my #2000 no1 sz 34 two times already but I still find them a bit too loose, got them hemmed to a 31 too, wondering if I should hot soaked them once again?

Waist is supposed to be tight on my 32 waist but it never was, it's not big but I've got a little room there and the legs are also loose...I don't wanna lose too much indigo..any help?

Would never get something like that hemmed untill i gave at least one or two hot soak/wash.

Anyway it will likely stretch abit more then its already with use so i would try and sell them...

but it says imitation right there on the tag!

ha, i kid, there's a similar pair on ebay UK as well. both look pretty amazing.

Link? ......

Im pretty sure they are real as well.

Now those are interesting!

which ones dont have them?

Lots of them. Most recent ones ive seen are a LOT 2000z.

Not all japanese Evisu have crotch rivets.

Edit:

Looking at the links the first one are real and made in italy in the 90's. Second pair are really poor fakes that plagued the UK market for a long time.

Vintage shops are going to be expensive in Tokyo. It's cheaper in Okayama, if you manage to go down south. Try Osaka too. They have a ton of shops there as well as a million Evisu stores. Let us know what you're looking for.

What kind of price difference are we talking about? Might try go down to osaka but not sure if ill make it.

Gonna be in Tokyo mid May. Any hints on shops (second hand ones too?) or anyone else going to be around then?

No chainstiching at Evisu. However son of stag http://www.sonofastag.com/ do and someone on this forum also offers a service via post.

They arent from the japanese company. Evisu int has just copied them more now.

All mine and paid for. I was slightly worried that Chad had no previous feedback here however he agreed to send me the jeans first and ive just got them. Great seller!

Nice letter, nice gesture but i got to say i would swing to fake.

I know its very tempting but I don't know if I can justify the spend right now!

Cost me a cappuccino for him and Masumi, and a promise to go back down once I'd started breaking the jeans in, as he wanted to see them with some wear on them The usual prices are on the International website...

Damn work! MIssed out wish i could have joined. Looking good i need something new with new pink guls!
