@julian-wolf @indigoeagle oh yeah! Right, that makes sense.

@Talan as others have said, I’m betting highly that the seemingly lesser quality fabrics/construction are from the International line— or very well just counterfeit, even. 
Much of the super loud/obnoxious design choices that defined that brand for many hypebeasts of the 2000s came from their international brand. (Correct me if I’m wrong, someone.) 

Ummm - does anyone know what shops may still have a decent stock of Evisu in Tokyo? A friend is taking a trip there soon and I'm trying to help him navigate. 

...def a broad question... 

edit: wish I could tell you where in Tokyo he's staying

Last few chances to stock up on Samurai before they drastically raise prices for all international sales and make it even harder to proxy stuff. 

wooof… is 2nd still a good retailer for international?

Howdy y’all - long time no post as usual. 

Maybe there was some talk about the stitched-down red tabs some time ago and I’m failing to remember. Do the tabs deteriorate quickly if the stitching is undone?

@Cold Summer I know right? These are their 884 cut, and I've always felt like the top block doesn't quite match the rest of the fit. I still enjoy these, but somehow the synergy is off. Classic straight with a more fitted top block.

I really enjoy the crinkly denim and contrast as the electric blue starts to show through the tightly woven dark blue.

@reallypeacedoff YES I had to stop biking in them!

I gave my 211s a soak.

Hello in there (echo)

Anyone know if Eternal is still kickin? Seems out of stock or low stock everywhere. 

Haha great. I think that’s where I’m finding some personal discourse; when I put them on, I feel like I look too “in-costume.” But such is any kind of clothing really. 

Honestly I did buy them with the intention of wearing them over the top of warmer layers while working in the (bike) shop. It’s not a customer facing sort of bike shop, but I do work on bikes as well as take photos recreationally!

Is there an overalls thread I’m just not seeing? Need to see some good overall fits to get hyped on these baggy joints I got myself into. 

Diggin those tracks coming in @chantheman.

The area of concern. It’s nearly threadbare, and the tear in the knee goes all the way through. I don’t own a sewing machine but am thinking of hand darning the individual small holes, then putting a larger patch underneath and using a sashiko pattern to reinforce it. I’m having a hard time deciding what to do about the knee hole though. Maybe a patch on top would be worthwhile.

Here’s a nice little interview with Matt Rho about boro repairs. It’s from a while back but still an interesting read. He sort of vanished from social media platforms after that, and I think his plans never happened which is a shame. I wonder why was that.

Old quote here …

This was a fascinating read. Anyone have any cool boro or other antique mending inspiration they could share? Blogs, photo series, etc? 
 

I’m lookin to do some major hand repairs to an old pair I have and I’m struggling to make a plan. The above article really makes me feel as though I’m overthinking it, so maybe I should just slow it down. 

Thanks @beautiful_FrEaK

Anyone know if Neatstyle.jp ships to the states?

Hold up. The end of Evisu?

Snagged a pair of the S140SXJ-GRK from Self Edge. Pics to come soon, some initial thoughts.

Would love to see these!

@denimondenimondenim yo yo! Thanks for the reply. I’ve been afraid to try the 5000 cut because of the more narrow thighs and I’m even more afraid to spend the dough on those persimmon dyed joints only to have them be too tight. They look good on you tho! 

Rediscovered these old Eternal joints from ages ago. They suffered a crotch rip that I had repaired and promptly ripped again slipping on wet grass. It’s in a spot that looks difficult to fix adequately, but let me know if you can think of solutions. They have so much life left tbh
 

Some quick post-first-machine-wash (whew) pics of my bspow. 
 

Thanks for the feedback y’all. Got it figured out.
