Setone

My evisu #2000 no.1 arrived at my work on Thursday, order was placed the previous Thursday.

I used Sharpservicejapan, total = 225 GBP. Pretty good service. PM if you want a breakdown of costs/charges etc.

Since I was away from the office, I didn't get a chance to pick it up until today.

Measurement, and pics (fits/comparisons etc.) to follow...

Excellent communications, and service. Fast delivery

Nice touch with the sweet treat!

I would highly recommend this proxy.

Thanks Hide-san.

CTB - Grill pan! I hope the other half didn't catch you doing that.

I got a W33, #2000 No.1 on its way. If anyone care, I will post measurement & fits etc.

Still prob be a bit cheaper to get it via proxy?, and plus you get the red tab.

If I'm not hungover on Sat I might have to pay a little visit to check out what they got.

^ Yeah, got my notification from Oki-Ni about those as well.

It states 12.5oz, yet on the 4th pic it sgot 14oz on the label ?

Very tempting...Must resist!

Still working on a pair of Prescott, and I've got Frontier waiting in the wings

See above screen capture from the evisu japan site.

What are the following colours:

saxophone - perhaps orange/copper?

wine ?

What do they mean by Cyber ?

Cheers.

This might sounds a bit daft, but there's something about the Deluxe jeans that feel like they're trying too hard ~ That make sense at all?

:confused: Don't really get what feelings you're trying to convey about the deluxe. I've not yet sampled the delights of No.1 denim so I can't make that comparison.

Anyhow...I got a pair of evisu 0331 with yellow stitched gulls. These must have been bought around 2002/03.

When new the denim was a greyish/silvery/blue kinda colour at a distance.

Unfortunately no pictures, (and from memory) upclose the denim was a combo of the white weft, indigo denim warp altenating with a white or (light grey/blue?) warp.

When raw and starchy they had this amazing sheen. They really caught and reflected natural daylight in an unique way!

As I was ignorant about denim, when they got smelly or dirty they would get washed as per dark clothing (separately, inside out etc). After several washes I noticed that there was a stronger blue hue. It transpired that the lighter coloured warp become stained from the parallel indigo warp.

So over the course of a couple of years the colour changed from the grey/silvery blue to a boldish indigo colour. The white weft gives it a kind of sheeny appearance.

You guys got a really good bargains for your deluxe evisu.

I thought I did well, bagging mine for 150 GBP.

^^^ thanks for the pointer, salaami.

I'm considering getting No.1s, but not decided what fit/style I'm gonna go for.

I think my addiction is getting a bit out of control. I've got a deluxe on ice, and shouldn't really be buying anymore denim for ages. I wonder if I can resist?

How are the no.1 sized?

And by how much would they shrink?

^ Wanna sell 'em?

No!

I prolly wear them like once every 2 weeks.

At the moment I'm alternating between S5010 21oz, and ALD Prescott.

I thought I would share some pics of my Oki-Ni Evisu Katakana.

Don't really wear them that often. But I like how it fits on me.

Tag size 30 (My true waist 32 or thereabouts)

Cuffed:

Greetings! Been lurking around as a guest for a while.

Any way here's some pics of my evisu with purple gulls.

Just basic even fading, I just wore them and washed them - didn't know anything about raw, selvedge etc. I just knew that they were quality jeans.
