[justiz2]

Great pics, amazing jeans. Looking forward to follow it's journey and evolution throughout the coming year...

[beatle]

Chicken , I bow my head..this is how it's done..

Counting the days...

[red]

the jeans look amazing. from the double patches, to the handpainted back pockets. these must be some of the nicest evisu jeans ive ever seen.

and if it matters, my new location is the east bay. fortunately, digital denim is right after me, so i could just do a hand off.

vid of painting... thanks gordon.

fit pics!

on the way to work.

the denim is still nice and rigid. surprisingly, the waist didn't shrink much (thank goodness) but it shrunk everywhere else. definitely on the looser side of fit from what i've been wearing lately (eternal 811, full count 1108, omnigod 50-052), but without feeling baggy. lot of stacking going on with me, but good news for taller dudes in our group.

[mizanation]

Not bad!!!! that hot soak really did the trick!

also, you can tell in the bathtub pics that there was virtually no indigo loss.

nice....

pesu is the man.

he even offered up to touch up the paint job. so if needed, we could call him up any time.

[cheep]

everyone in the group please send me a pm with your email address. i think that will be easier than pms if we need to contact each other

[denimdestroyedmylife]

[cheep]

[Chicken]

^ yeah, and i think it's only going to get better as time goes on. great choice for this project.

[edmond]

thanks chicken... ill just have to settle for some ordinary 2000 cut jap made evisu's.. sigh..

[sleazie ninja number 47]

this thread is what its all about: Edmond threatening to slit people's throats (3 times in as many pages) to get his hands on some denimz...

[jubei]

so it looks like there's hope yet for skinny folks to wear some 2000's...

huzzah! Evisu 2000 has just re-entered my denim wishlist. How's the hip flare?

there is just a slight flare around the hip right now, sort of reminds me of when cheep first started wearing his contest sammies. so my bet is that they will disappear after a while. still, if i were to buy a pair for my personal use, then i would probably go a little smaller than these (w32), since i like mine on the tighter side.

by the way, tiger just won his 13th major yesterday at the age 31. coincidence?

[beatle]

I don't think so...BIG rep for amazing soak job, awesome pictures , and great great fit....

I am so delighted that we are the Dirtydozen+1 ...

[peteyross]

I don't mean to be a dick, but the katakana spelling of Superfuture (on the 2nd patch) is incorrect. I'm surprised that none of the Japanese speakers raised a flag at this...

Not sure where you're ever gonna see "future" in Katakana in everyday life, but next time you pick up an Asahi Super Dry, you'll see what I mean.

Actually now that I think of this, it's like an error baseball card. Makes it even more special. It adds a nice dose of irony to the design.

Should be: スーパー ・フューチャー

[Chicken]

but you are a dick because

A: you don't know what you're talking about.

and

B: go back few pages and read the explanation behind it.

(hint: you are kind of close with the error part, except it's intentional.)

[poly800rock]

billy ripken's fuckface card?

[cheep]

^ yes, plus it's intentionally written in an odd style like evisu does in their original patches. sometimes, you spell things out on purpose, instead of just stretching the sound with a hyphen.

thats why its done like that.

actually, there are at least three native japanese speakers wearing these jeans, and the spelling was on purpose. it's all good though, it's like someone saying that "ye olde english" is misspelled.

[peteyross]

Alright alright...I didn't read the whole thread....I skimmed about 25 pages in and just couldn't stomach anymore.

I know a lot of people don't put much meaning into katakana spelling, but there is a standard which, if you cross, will get you a batsu on your schoolwork.

I had a hunch that it was on done on purpose, but I didn't see any mention of it in the pages I read.

[mizanation]

yeah, i've seen horrible attempts at using katakana by americans, so your suspicions are warranted. ironically, you wouldn't know about this type of alternate spelling unless you learned it outside of school.

Hold up, you can call me a dick, but who said I didn't know what I was talking about?

[Chicken]

miz put it real well -- it's an old style japanese on purpose. they won't teach you this kind of stuff in most language schools or when you take japanese as a foreign language.

check this out:

notice how evisu-ya and tailor are spelled. funny you don't notice these things usually.

[mizanation]

sometimes, japanese words written in katakana don't use the vowel extender. you see this when katakana is used instead of hiragana for japanese words, often to add emphasis. if you don't use the vowel extender when spelling foreign words, it adds a "japanese" feel to the gairaigo, and removes the "foreign" visual aspect of the long vowel extender. so, it's sort of like an inside joke with an aesthetic purpose.

the other way around exists as well. sometimes kanji is used to spell gairaigo. this is also, for aesthetic purposes and to add a japanese feel to a foreign word.

[peteyross]

Haha, that's great.

Yeah I can easily see the lack of aesthetic value in vowel extenders. I never bothered to read the evisu patch...you're right it would look terrible if it was spelled otherwise.
