Evisu Selvage Question

[Skov]

Lately I've been looking at some diffrent Evisu models online. With special intrest in #2 slimfit. Link to zoovillage: http://europe.zoovillage.com/store/productdetail.asp?CategoryID=0|0&BrandID=47&DisplayItemID=19915&Position=35&ListType=1

I don't get if they are selvage or not..? Because if they are selvage, then in my experience they would shrink a couple of inches when washed. And then they simply wouldn't be long enough for me or alot of other people with longer legs.

So my question beeing; are they selvage, and hos much will they shrink?

Yes, they are selvedge in the traditional red/white colors.

Ok that's what I figured, but won't they shrink a couple of inches then? Seems wired they don't make them a bit longer than they do...

[antihelt]

Never washed mine, so don't know about shrinkage. Sorry.

Selvage /= Raw /= Unsanforized

Quite right. The No. 2 is sanforized selvage, the No. 1 is un-sanforized selvage. The No. 1 will shrink a lot more than the No. 2.

definitely selvage...that's the way evisu does it
