  1. Aight, then I'll contribute with my SDA SP013s as well, if that's ok? Got like 16+ months of wear on them. They still use the same fabric for a few limited models.

    Taking them to Japan next month to have them fixed.

  2. ^Great jeans, some of the best I've seen.

    In other news:

    Looks like this is the sole remaining Evisu International shop in the West, all the others seem to be in East Asia, especially China...

    So, Evisu Int. is no longer at Selfridges either?

    Shameless plug: got two pairs of Evisu for sale, and I've reduced the prices today; link is in my sig. PM if you're interested.

  3. Evisu International is a liscensee of the Evisu brand. Different products, same brand. Evisu International lives (or lived) off Evisu MiJ's fame, and is more about branding strategy and marketing than the "labor of love" that made the MiJ stuff what it is. Most of the Evisu International stuff is made in China.

    On the other hand, it needs to be known that also the Japanese Evisu does certain stuff in China, such as tees, polos, and other accessories.

  4. Sorry for the clueless post, but I know nothing about Evisu and the search function doesn't seem to be working properly.

    Found a pair of Evisu, Gull's are dark blue and patch reads No3STR, lot 2008. Any info on these would be great. Selvedge line is white and red.

    Without seeing them, I believe they are Evisu International, and not MiJ. As far as I'm aware, the Japanese No.3 are made with open-ended denim.

  5. I still wear my WH 700s quite regularly, but the lack of participation from others in this thread has quelled my motivation.

    I for one can state that this is dead, as far as the thread goes. A pity really, as it had great potential..

  6. The international Evisu has definitely had some interesting denims produced.

    They've sure had a different approach to denim "innovation" than the MiJ Evisu, which can be both a positive and negative thing, depending on your own point of view.

    Some of the more interesting international denims have been in the Evisu Deluxe line, such as hand-dyed natural indigo denim, vegetable indigo dyed denim, and some other curiosities. These were also pretty small scale productions.

    By the way, did anyone ever get a pair of the MiJ linen/cotton denim "slacks" from a few years back? I was always curious to how they'd evolve, but never got them myself. Definitely a comfortable choice for summer though.

  7. I'd say the No.2's stretch back to presoak/wash waist, if not beyond that.

    ^This seems to be the general consensus on No.2 denim. I only have firsthand experience with No.1 denims, and they tend to stretch a little as well; however, as Warakia says, you can expect the No.2 to stretch quite a bit with continuous wear.

  8. If only they were 30's...brilliant pair there! Not sure I'd get rid of it myself...

    I've not been able to put any wear in them, and last time I used them was when I shot the pics posted earlier in this thread. They're still in great condition, and looking for a new owner.
