Additioanl info - this is pair is circa 1998, roughly the same time when Gardener went bust

got these awhile back but no idea what are they...they looked a bit like iron rangers...Goodyear welt soles....anyone got any ideas?

X-post from Take 5 thread

Take 5 opening collab denim with Evisu x Pherrow's x Dry Bones x Gardener - found this in a thrift store, not worn by me. just thought to share.

Part 2...

4 different button flys with each representing one brand

Rivets

Backpocket left rivet

Backpocket right rivet

Not sure if this was posted before, found this pair while thrift store hunting today, as I can faintly recall these are Take 5 Lot 1001 opening collaboration jeans in conjunction with 4 major Japanese denim brands namely Pherrow's, Gardener, Dry Bones and Evisu. The four owners of the the collab brands visited HK to launch this pair during Take 5's store opening. Don't remember how many pairs were released though.

Some crazy detailing on this pair, some might even say it's OTT, these are the ones that I spotted, if there's anything I missed out, do point it out:-

a) Multi-color arcuates on backpackets

4 different button flys, one from each brand was used

c) 4 different red tabs, each representing one brand, 2 each on each back pocket

d) 2 different backpocket rivets one from Gardener, the other from Evisu

Would appreciate if anyone can come up with more info, with 4 brands involved what kind of denim, dye, methods were used etc. and how were the manufacturing process delegated among the 4 brands?

Raw pics of the jeans can be found here, check them out to see how the original details looked like:

Enjoy the pics. (being a dumbass i accidentally deleted the leather patch pic but check out the pics in the link above to see how it looks like)

Multi-color arcuates on the original, unfortunately these already came out, note also there's 2 red tabs on each pocket, (that's four tabs!!) with each representing one brand.

Right backpocket, Pherrow's and Gardener red tabs

Left backpocket, Dry Bones and Evisu red tabs

To be continued...

how much should one size down if i'm a true w32/33?

i would like to personally recommend this pair as i have a worn pair of about 3 months old and it's already looking quite good. will post worn pics later.

yeah, 101z, some europe issue - made in malaysia

made in malaysia?! that's where i'm at...ok time to hunt down the factory...friend have contacts with the brand here...

beatle - godamn...these owned mine anytime haha...Japanese 101Z? but those comes with half selvage if i remembered correctly...

jooles should get paid for starting an eternal feeding frenzy which is likely to happen soon. count me in

the return of pimpin' pete...

Let's make it 50%...

i'd better apply for a new credit card if that happens....

thanks crash - really happy with the no.1s both and price-wise. will post pics of the 2504 once i get hold of them.

i had a pair of Evis #2 with suspender buttons previously but the patch was too worn out to see the lot no, sold those off as they're really too big for me which is a bummer.

oh fack...okis ftw.

bunga your fit of your 2000 makes me like mine even more. good fit. but one picture will do

thanks, thought just want to show the fit from all angles

bunga, did you coke wash those?? that color is pretty cool

no coke wash on these, i find that a lot of denim particularly Levi's and Lee will take on a yellowish hue if left unwashed for a long time, it's probably the residue from dust and sweat that makes the denim take on that kind of shade.

Lee Riders 101, 1944 model. Worn for about 3 years, didn't wash for the last year and half.

yea really happy about the fit, even the inseam length is perfect for me.

not sure if coleslaw's pair also have the big daicock though, can't wait for it to get here!

x-post from evisu thread, well technically it's what i wore 3 days ago before the forums went down.

just picked these up, looking forward to receive them from Hide.

come on bunga!! lol check sig for jeans starting at 99p

wanted to post this earlier but the forums were down. anyway fit pics for Evisu #1, an almost perfect fit for me, the waist is just nice without being too snug and just enough room in the crotch and thighs, not too tight and not too baggy - the way i like it.

+rep and thanks again to lmaozedong for the pair.

bunga, fit pics of no1?

coming tonight!

and if i'm correct most Levi's denim are right hand twill while Lee uses left hand twill. That's the direction when the denim is going through the weaving process you basically force the weave to be straight and perpendicular to the selvage but at the same time you give it this direction during the construction.

hence when you wash the fabric, it'll naturally follow the direction of the weave and pull/shrink in that direction, which gives us leg twists.

i think.

I think Unsanforized denim tends to have more leg twist. I believe its caused by the denim not shrinking an even amount in all places when soaked or washed. which causes the twisting of the fabric

you're right - that's what 20 hours of non-stop work does to you, everything becomes a jumble
