Setone

well i will put these at the top of the rotation, also got blue ankles from these its hard to take them off! I have to use two hands for one leg as they taper so much but they should be fun, water wasn't blue really, well keep you updated....

how much has yours shrunk? I dread soaking or washing mine.

I need to stay away from the beers n kebabs!

Ikeda - the cut is very tapered (~17cm hem), with a mid/high rise

It has some nice touches, little leather 'washers' on the rivets, purple lining in the coin pocket, purple lining reinforcing the stitching on the inside front pocket, purple lining on the belt loops.

White selvedge, denim is smooth and to my eyes the indigo has a purple hue to it.

No chainstitching in sight though - don't really know if that matters too much. Below is the inseam and hem.

Bit the bullet, and got the Ikeda.

Was told they mesaured 31.5

Tagged 32, measures 30. A bit of a squeeze - plus I've been pigging out a bit over the last couple of weeks.

if what you are saying is true...

size 28 would be 30 true waist... if you are normally 31 that would mean you only sized down one...

If he got a 31, that would be true to waist. Diors are not true to size, they are vanity sized - see first page.

General consensus is to size down 2. He sized down 3 to a 28.

I thought so until I saw the red and white selvedge. Now, not so sure.

Yep looks like the ubiquitous D85? Still - looks good though.

looking good there, did you manage to soak the no1 heritage?

Nah, it's in the vault. Thers's a bit of queue before I got around to them.

Here's a minor update on my Heritage d85.

In a way I kinda like em fading slow and staying dark, because I wear them as smart jeans at work.

About 5months of total wear, 1 hand wash/soak, 2 machine wash.

No flash.

0001STF Hem close up

What's your opinion of the denim? You couldn't possibly get any up close pics of your pair, could you?

All with flash.

0001STF vs MIJ

0001STF vs Deluxe.

0001STF and Deluxe not touched water, and unworn.

MIJ soaked and been worn.

I know it's not a really fair comparison.

*Subjectively*, the STF feels kind of smooth and softish. Almost like a non-slubby lighter weight version of the deluxe.

From memory the MIJ when new felt slighty on the crispy, stiff, brittle side.

But the real proof in the pudding is after they've been soaked/washed and worn in a bit.

mr.invincible - I think that fit looks fine. Have you tried saggin a bit to reduce the hip flare.

Chambo -

Those W32 No.1STF were closer to 36 - returned them, and got a W30. Which measured about a 34.

I was eyeing up the Ikeda, but it's still way too expensive.

And yeah I am stockpiling for the impending nuclear war.

went to evisu today on savile row just having a look, nothing really great on the sale

Is the stuff on sale same as what's on the website?

^^^ rnrswitch

Awesome fit, and great all round looking outfit.

would rep if I could.

How long u been wearing them?

About 3 times a week for the last 10months. And before that every now and then. So that equates to about maybe 5months of actual (light) wear.

Yeah I know it's what you do in em, rather than how long...

But in comparison to my samurai's these are slow burners

no point in breaking in jeans and then moving on the moment they've actually got some character to them...

QFT.

I find it quite strange that, some people retire their jeans after achieving some decent natural fades/distressed.

Anyway, my D85 is starting to feel and looke a bit grimy especially after the recent heatwave in England. Prob gonna hold out until a work colleague have a quiet word with me.

Still no interesting fades to note of though.

did you get those 510s tapered, setone?

Nope. It's angle of the camera/pic.

510 21oz - 2 soaks, 2 machine wash

About 6months of office wear.

(Amateur) Pic taken in natural light. They're a actully bit darker in person

What do you mean? Also, you mind posting pics?

I've sent them back, but see pic from website below.

On the website it says Tagged W32 = 33.5. It actually measures 35.5.

I am exchanging them for a 30 and hopefully should measure about 33.5. (Eventually) after an initial wash/soak they should be about 31.5 or 32.

Quote from evisu site;

"*NO.1 SPECIAL is cut in shrink-to-fit blocks (eg 0001STF), so you should buy your normal size for preshrunk jeans and wash before wearing."

evisu.com 30-40% off

Yeah, got myself a tee, and a 0001STF No#1.

Sizing is all messed up though.

I went true to size with my 710xx2nds, and I made a mistake. I haven't been able to soak or wash them because the waist is pretty tight and doesn't like to stretch.

I'm afraid to soak or wash them because if they shrink in the waist even half an inch, I won't be able to fit in them.

I should've sized up one or two - probably two.

Wear them in the bath whilst soaking?

normally about 32 waist.

Sat in hot bath wearing them for about 30-40 mins.

pictures would help

Sorry if I'm showing too much skin!

2000 #1 w33

710x2nd w32

Not yet washed, so these will shrink a bit more.

mr.invincible.

I wear a 32W 710x2nd. I got a 2000 #1 is 33W

The fit on me is quite similar.

Both had to be soaked whilst wearing incase of too much shrinkage, as they fitted not snug, but comfortable when raw.

Chambo - The italian Evisu looks very nice. I'm not going to bid btw.

And those funky red pattern jeans reminds me of the early-mid 90's crazy Moschino era.

CTB - Every evisu lover has got to have at least one pair of jeans that is considered as loud or funky

Thanks for the comments both complimentary and critically.

I wear my s510 as a relaxed fit, they actually fit my waist snugly, after 2 hot soaks. Everywhere else the jean fits loose, relaxed or whatever definition you prefer.
