  1. Just went and collected the jeans i won from Flannels.

    Here is the design i did for Evisu

    Here are the actual jeans, painted on No.2 denim (sanforized) 0005 cut. You can see they changed my design... ;) Oh well :rolleyes:

    Dude im glad someone from here won the competition and i dont want to be rude but i dont understand why they picked your design to win. They knew they couldnt use your design for sale (Though i cant see why they dint paint just your own one with the design and the rest for sale with the design they made up), but also because its the half lazy s half no.2 design on different denim (of course with the evisu golf inspired logo.)

    Either way congratulations on winning the jeans.

  2. I haven't worn the Lazy S jeans for a good three months, as per my previous comments...

    And no Chambo, been working all day and off to see a man about a tattoo right now...dunno what I'd like to do, design-wise, anyhow...might have a think about it this evening...

    No i havent done a design either i only found out about it today. It always seems i find out about stuff really late.

  3. Yep i got a pretty long email from them that i haven't managed to reply to however he does mention this:

    Lastly, we are already preparing to do a full extensive repair service on denims and also have been experimenting with different wash / distress techniques - will keep you posted on this as it happens.
  4. Well abit late to put this up as i only got it now but!!!!

    This is for the event tomorrow at the bullring.

In addition the winner will receive a pair of their own personalised jeans handpainted by Kanji.

    To enter please submit your designs to [email protected]

    DEADLINE: 11th NOVEMBER 2009

    Rules:

    2. To fit within the Evisu back pocket - width 18.5cm and height 19cm

    3. The design can feature logo's, characters and symbols which represent Evisu to you

    The winning design will be picked by Kanji on 12th November in store.

  5. Likewise!!

    Have you thought about approaching shops like Interstate or American Classics? I also reckon Albam would be work a nudge. Their jeans are fairly decent, but would REALLY benefit from a nicely chainstitched hem.

    I also think Evisu would be interested as the store originally wanted to have a machine but werent able to source a machine and a person to actually provide the service.

  6. Is there modern day machines that can do chainstitching?? and where do u buy one? (sorry this is really noob)

    There is a thread on this already i think the end result was there is but the results aren't as good and that it wasnt designed to be used on such thick fabrics. I think one machine was a Janome.

    Im so broke its not even funny. Someone should pick those up. Watch the leg though. Too bad that he got them altered here in the UK as if it was done thorough the store in Hong Kong they would of had some amazingly nice chainstiching.

    Edit:

    Someone should also hit these up:

  8. I think it did on the contrary make perfect sense at the time. Before this tour started, Evisu had no visibility on Superfuture, if only to be look down. Just look at how big the Evisu thread got following the tour, and how, when they gave away a pair of jeans (to be worn by some of the most influential posters of Superfuture at the time), people here started talking about the brand and buying their products again. I think it also coincided with them planning on opening a flagship store in New York and BiG selling the brand in the US. Their only mistake was to pretend giving away those extra jeans and not following through.

    While you make some points that are fair i still dont see it. The evisu thread was already fairly big and the fact is it was always mostly about the japanese made jeans. With the tour they were advertising a pair of jeans that they wont make any significant profits on if at all and it also just adds to the idea that the premium denim is the Japanese made evisu and the international denim isn't as good.

    As for BIG selling them in the US i dont think that its evisu international that supply them with the jeans and even if it is i doubt they are seeing much of a profit on those. Im also not sure why the evisu flag ship store never opened but im guessing there will be an opening now that the CEO has changed and seems to be moving everything over to the US.
