a friend bought these bargain evisu online, i think they are fake tho, any ideas folks??

[diewhitegirls]

Look good to me, but then again, I know nothing.

[xerikx]

I could be wrong so don't hold me to 100%, but I've always been told the gulls should touch the lines on the pocket. That's how my legit ones were, but they were also painted gulls.

you got any pics of the inside of the hem. looking for chain stitch and proper selvage line

[Ahlvahroe]

i dont know why it bugs me so much to see people join to ask if evisus are real. like if i was a mod the banned stick would swing on anyone asking 'are these evisus fake' and less than 5 posts. sorry just venting

[drapygo]

Looks pretty fake. The red-tab just seems very poorly placed, I believe it should be a little down more. The gulls looks off, but Evisu did start doing this with their other items, but usually I think it's aligned with the line.

You should check the inside pockets, see if they have writings on them, because they usually do. I think on the left, there should be another tag on it...

The copper rivets as well.

be nice, he's not done anything yet but ask a harmless question nicely...

[big_w]

cheers for the advice guys, im well sorry if i got on peoples nerves, i had no intention to, just seemed like this forum was a place to talk about denim, and from what i read some of you folks seemed to know ya stuff. so far it seems these are a touch dodgy, which is what i thought

[pchea]

I don't mean to hijack your thread or anything, but I didn't see any reason to make a new one for a legit check. Anyone know if these are legit Evisu's?

[Ahlvahroe]

its not you personally dude, its the fact that i have seen countless of times cats join to ask if their evisu are real then disappear, basically causing clutter. if you stay and become a prominent member i apoligize but otherwise, do your own homework.

[coleslawyum]

imo, when folks have to ask the question, "are these evisus real?", usually their evisus look faker than a pair of plastic tits on a stripper. but what do i know?

not an expert, but it looks ok....there seem to be very few evisu experts on this board surprisingly...like they skipped this generation...

[Bill2]

I sell Evisu for a living. First pair are fake as sin. Second pair look legit.

[mvn]

First pair look extremely fake. The patch looks fake, the tags look fake, and its not from any distinguishable line. The second ones look real.

[pchea]

Cool, thanks guys. Got my first pair of raw selvedge (thanks to this forum and its wealth of information) a month ago. They're Evisu's lot #0001, and I love them. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up the ones pictured above as well!

They are definately fakes.

- Leather tag doesnt look leather.

- Gulls on backpockets are wrong

- evisu genes cardboard is wrong.

[dasman989]

I have seen some pretty horrible evisu fakes. Thje easiest way to tell they were fake was the selvage line. The fakes i saw had a printed strip of fabric that had a selvage-esque design on it sewn ove the edges of the ends of the denim. That and the lack of chainstitching. I guess my question is - Why would anyone go to the expense of making a selvage fakes. It seems that that would be the easiest way to tell a fake from the real thing. It seems like too mcuh trouble to go through to make a fake.

[kolourhero]

in case some or most of you don't know... not all evisu's have a selvage line.

[big_w]

cheers guys and girls, thanks to your advice i have managed to convince my mate these are fakes and he has already gotten a refund. as for whether or not i stay around, well, it should be pretty clear that i have very little knowledge on the subject of denim, but have enjoyed reading through some of the threads. if i feel i can constructively contribute here i will, thats what these forums are all about in my opinion. like i said tho, thanks folks!

Aww, come on now, stay on! It's fun to post here.

i thought all their heritage stuff was selvage.

[__3xL]

And there are also many Evisu fakes that ARE selvage .. aka thai fakes

so don't judge by that alone .. I mean for the right ( ultra cheap ) price they might be worth it ..

[Jamo-]

Just showing of my Evisu's, I purchased them from Bergdorf Goodman in NY and one pair at Blue Jeans in NJ...are they fake??? LOL

This first pair is from Bergdorf Goodman...

This 2nd pair is from there also...

[Jamo-]

Sorry for the double post only allowed 10 images in first one...

And this last pair is from Blue Jeans in NJ

I really hopes these aren't fake because I spent a NICE amount of dough on theses.

[Jamo-]

I guess they are real

[coleslawyum]

Erm… they're real, but why the heck did you spend anything on them? At least get some Japanese Evisu, made in Japan, raw and beautiful. These Europe ones are overpriced and kinda butt.

[Jamo-]

I have 2 pair of Japanese ones...but they stopped selling them in the stores I go to ..only EU ED now...since I wear a big size..any other japanese denim I would get but they don't carry my size...which is 38 lol gotta lose some weight i guess

Dude, I wear size 38 and above too. And a lot of Japanese companies make a size 40.

Here is a few that I managed to cop in a huge size.

- 45rpm

- Samurai Jeans

- Sugar Canes

- Full Count

- Flat Head

- Oni Denim

Heck all of them carry a large size. And if you are looking for a bigger selection, take a trip down to the RRL store. Prince/Mott street on the east side, and there's one on the west side too. They make up to a 40, but its more like a 42. I actually have to size down. The new slim jean is awesome.

Then there's Blue In Green. There are a lot of threads on this store. They sell online too. You can run down to the store and try on the above mentioned Japanese brands. 8 Greene Street off of Canal Street.

Good luck!
