If you ever wanted to visit an Evisu store but were never able to...now you can:

PS: seems that they also have 30% off right now...

Cheers for the link, I could feel my money itching to be spent just watching that! 

Some pics below of a few things I've picked up recently. 

There's a pair of Lot 1999 in No.0 denim; a pair of Lot 2534 double knee pants in non selvage denim, which I don't think we've seen on this thread before (the selvage Evis model is Lot 2513) ; a pair of Evis work pants that someone has dyed with kakishibu; and a smart Evis duffle bag that's one of the coolest bags I own!

Shaun, Bez and the gang know all about a Loose Fit

They also didn't need no skin tights in their wardrobe today.

What cuts you going for crash test I want a loose cut I feel comfortable in 

I'm not wearing much denim these days to be honest as I'm more comfortable in other fabrics. Especially when working from home for almost a year now thanks to the pandemic. I'll always have a couple of decent pairs of Evis or Evisu though, of course! 

But from the current models, 2001 and 2004 will be as good as it gets. Some of the vintage Evis cuts are looser than the old 2501/2001 cut though. Both of the Evis Cowboy Lee reproduction models, Lot 2101 and Lot2111, are very loose fits. 

But you'll never get a proper loose fit with any denim that weighs around 10oz and upwards, even with repeated washing. You'll get a baggy fit but not a loose fit which to me implies mobility of the fabric when moving around.

Wait!? The no 1s shrank 6 inches!?

 

Any word on the 18oz peteros those are the ones I just ordered and am waiting to arrive.

Too small for me sadly I do like the looks of the red selvage no1 though!seems like the reds shrinks  more or do the reds come up smaller than the tiger no1 ?and how’s the no2 denim compare to the no1 crash? 

No.1 denim has the nicer hand to it, I love its hairiness when soaked and washed. But, pretty much every single vintage pair I've seen with the best fades have been made of No.2 denim. No idea why and it might just be one massive coincidence.

They'd already been soaked by the time I picked them up so I went by the shrunk measurements so no surprises there for me, ha. I'm just more about the loose fits these days and the 2000t cut isn't the one for me. Or my arse lmao.

Is it no1 or no2 cheers lee

No.1, you can just about see it on the patch if you zoom in. You'd be fucked if you got that much shrinkage from a pair of No.2 denim but anything is possible these days with Evisu... 

Hem is 7", inseam 31" and waist 34".

Ha, this thread hasn't been this busy since about 2008, I don't think! 

I've actually just listed some 2000Ts on ebay, same username. Tagged 40 x 32 but actual 34 x 31. If anyone is interested then drop me a message on here!

Two things. One... Where can we see the earliest pieces that he made and how to spot them?

Secondly there was a foreigner here that told a story about him getting hired to work in one of his stores by him if I remember correctly. I believe that was like in the 90s or early 00s. How did that come about?

I've been trying to catch Yamane at the ebisu store as it's walking distance but always seem to miss him haha

Ethandesu was the profile name of the bloke who you seek. He's the same name on Instagram if you're on there. Long time, stranger, by the way! 

@japanalogueI'd love to see which of the early Evis repro models Yamane still has in his collection. With pics, of course! Cheers for asking, by the way. 

Alright stranger! 

And trimming down the collection, I've been meaning to share my denim on here for a while. Currently wearing No.1 Lot 2000T and No.2 Lot 2504 Evis, with a pair of Lazy S and Brown Box in the wings! 

Im wearing fatigues and other trousers quite a bit these days so the denim isn't getting the wear it used to. I tend to go in cycles with things though...

I've got a few pairs of Evisu and a pair of deadstock Evis on ebay at the moment - same username. If anyone is interested in anything then drop me a line on here to arrange something. 

Happy New Year!

An extra image for my new pair, lot 2501. Vintage Evis, maybe?

They look good mate from what I can see. I would go TTS on these, they will shrink a little bit then stretch out.

I have a new pair incoming from Japan, will post pics when they land. Been wearing the Brown Box jeans a lot recently and have a headstock pair of Lazy S Lot 0005 denims waiting in the wings.

Are these the real deal?

Might be worth asking for a pic of the selvage of the second pair mate. I've seen a few pairs with that back pocket design that were made of No.3 denim which is (was?) non-selvage for the MiJ stuff.

Basically Ive been wearing these No.1's for the last 7-8 months and some slimmer cuts in other brands on weekends. Now that these need repairs not sure what my next pair will be. I started breaking in my Lazy S's but they're super loose and have been leaning towards slimmer cuts in the last couple of years. I might start giving those a good wear.

I posted this up awhile ago, its my current collection. Havent sold any. Now that Ive thought about it, will probably go the Lazy S's.

Quaiity stuff mate. I need to get a pair of 2101s again one day. 

22 hours ago, devilva said:

Yeah interesting coin pocket. The fit really suits you Ben, hopefully the upper area stretches out for comfort. Now im wishing I tried on a pair of the mizuhiki's a size up but still think I would have gone the 2000's.

Just washed my No1's again. Have a crotch blowout so at some point will take them and a few others in for repairs.

 

Cheers bud, I'm enjoying wearing them. 

What else are you wearing these days? You still got much of your old collection?

I tried on a pair of TTS 2000T at Evisu the Tokyo while is was there but just wasnt into the fit. Waist seemed ok but everything else was super tight. Anyone looking to get a pair, I'd also recommend sizing up.

Yeah I was gonna do a comparison of my size 35 No.1 2000s to the 33 2000Ts but then realised it was pointless as I wore the 2000s when soaking to keep them stretched and didn't soak the new pair at all. 

Still loving the fit though. And didn't realise how much my 2000s had faded until I put them side by side. Note the slanted coin pocket on the new pair.

Yeah same what I did , they do look like a really nice fabric and the cut is obviously a modern one please keep us updated on the evo!!

 

Also did customs sting you?

The denim is lovely, sanforized and 15oz so not the usual No.2 denim. And no customs involvement

Did you go tts or up one? These are the MOMO with similar measurements went up one for comfort of waist 

I went one size up but only because I needed the extra space in the thighs. I think going TTS would have been too tight across the whole top block for me. 

Pretty happy with the fit on the Lot 2000T natural indigo model. Decided to wear them from raw without soaking. Fit is tight across the arse but will stretch with time. 

"We've gone on holiday by mistake!" 

(If you know, you know...) 

Lot 2000 on tour at Lake Windermere. Random day trip off the back of a trip to Manchester to see a mate 

Quality pics lads.

Incoming from Denimio - was looking at similar fits by Oni but who could resist natural indigo and gulls?! 

On a bit of a roll at the moment... 

Evis Lot 1507 type 2 jacket in No.2 denim. Had this for maybe eight years now? Been wearing it a lot recently.

I think this is the first time I've seen a full-leg gull with some wear and...I...I like it a lot? Hm.

Yeah, I don't think they look as bad when worn as you might expect. I've got another pair with the big daicock on that I posted a few months ago but will get some fresh pics soon. 

Lot 2001 in No.1 denim below. Had them tapered on the selvage side as you can see, as I like the top block but the leg opening is too much for me at the moment. Can always get them put back to how they were before by doing it this way.

Nice fit Ben, envious of your weather for once.

Thanks mate, I like the rain too so I'm generally happy no matter what weather we end up with here! 

Another nice day and some pics of my Evis Lot 2513 carpenter pants. 

Some more pics of the 2000s in the wild. Leg twist in full flight in the second pic.

Thanks! Yeah i saw the inseam, its actually a perfect length for me. Just wish it was hemmed with a chainstitch.

You can always get it chain stitched at the same length. I've done that before.

I’ve stumbled upon a pair of Evisu heritage jeans. Painted red tab but otherwise unadorned back pockets. The seller didn’t know much more. Does anyone know what fit they are and if they have potential? I read somewhere that they’re supposed to be a Levi’s homage but they don’t seem to be stf. 

0001 fit I think, and yeah they were a kind of nod to Levi's. Check the inseam length though because they have been hemmed.
