^^that is just amazing.

Holy shit....Chicken...Gordon...Chad....what a chance to witness the Evisu painter..Glad he's feeling better, and he did an awesome job....I want to touch them so badly...Chicken - how do they feel....

[chad]

Chicken, Pesu, and Gordon sketching some "13" designs before the painting started. Pesu did about 20-30 variations before the final one was chosen.

[chad]

The patch was pre-shrunk by Gordon. Imagine Iron Chef crossed with Blue in Green with Gordon boiling the patch over a hot stove with cooking chopsticks.

The pic shows before and after. Although it is hard to see in the picture, the shrunk version looks tight and has an interesting texture with the artwork becoming more defined.

ugh, I was totally gonna come into the store today too... got caught up with house chores. dammit.

[beatle]

This is sooo fucking awesome...now would be a great time to get completely wasted...

Noriko at work, Chicken with a birds eye view, and Pesu.

fuck. that is pretty amazing. congratulations!

[Chicken]

chad, thanks for posting the pics. they came out great!

beatle, the denim feels real solid. they are just so well made. and pesu has such amazing steady hands, it was such a pleasure to watch. the waist is surprisingly tight already, but the rest of the fit is quite loose.

some more pics:

the designer and his design (and the man behind the project)

pesu's steady hand

beauty -- do we feel special or what?

preshrunk -- early fit

cooool......

[Chicken]

by the way, today happens to be gordon's birthday. it's really cool that the painting day coincided. happy birthday gordon, and thanks again for making this happen.

[Chicken]

so here comes the big question. today is august 11, and i have the jeans in my hands as i type this right now.

should we start the whole thing today? or, should we wait until the beginning of next month? our call, let the voting begin.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

just wear them already!

jeans look great. paint looks amazing. fit is perfect

happy birthday gordon

[Chicken]

i'm going to do it. if nobody's stopping me i'm going to hot soak it real soon.

[coleslawyum]

Coool shit chicken. Can't wait to check em out!

[drapygo]

Damn those are nice, I want some!

[aziz]

Nice.......

[almondcrush]

they look so good!

cant wait to get my hands on em

or i guess, my legs in em

[almondcrush]

also jesus

the dye job on that tee is killer

[Chicken]

the cmf tee? it was dyed by dasman989, printed by tg and ideated by cheep, i believe.

figured a sufu collab shirt would work well for this event.

btw, it's getting late tonight, so i'm thinking of soaking the denim tomorrow morning. and it'll be easier to document it during the day.

[coleslawyum]

Do it! Do It! ..... tomorrow ....*shucks*

[headtowall]

DEW IT! Can't wait til it's my turn.

[tangerine]

amazing, amazing. congrats to all of you who will get to wear those beautiful jeans. thanks chad for the pics. happy birthday to gordon.

[poly800rock]

as much as everyone used to complain about the evisu arc's. I'll say the hand painted evisu arcs are probably my favorite one. so unique

[edmond]

[mrip]

I love the double patch on those jeans. Freaking amazing.
