That link redirects to the ny times article about that la denim place. But yeah that thread is actually what sparked my interest a out these jeans. I've been debating on getting those or a pair of eternal 864s. But I really like the greencast and the fat that they're raw so I'll have to see the pricepoint for them.

[gimmegimme]

oops...fixed it.

From my understanding there were two different cuts on their wrangler repros..

The Evisu Brown Box model comes in two different fits. Evisu's classic 0001 block and a new slim-fit classic western block named the 0005

After soaking the Evisu 0005 Brown Box jeans this weekend, I compared fits post soak to my SDA X-26s. While I just eyeballed the rises, legs, and waist, the Evisu's size 34 were pretty close to my SDA's 34 post stretch.

I'm going to hot soak the Evisu's once more before I get them hemmed. After I wear them, I'll contribute some sizing information.

Do you have the actual Wrangler repros or just a pair with the same cut?

I'm not exactly sure when you mean. I own the SDA XS-26 jeans featured in your original post. If memory serves me correctly, the model is based on a Wrangler 11MW, although I'm not sure what year ...perhaps the 1948?

Sorry, I was referring to your new Evisu's...are they the Wrangler repro that Cheep is getting?

I have a pair with the 0005 cut (new slim western fit).

I wouldn't call the Evisu's a repro, since they lack most of the 11MW's historical details. At the same time, I really pleased with the broken twill, since the SDA's XS-26 have lht.

I see the Evisu's as a painted tribute to the iconic tabs/patches of Wranglers and Levis. At the same time, I love how Evisu injected their brand identity, mostly a sense of humor with a little irreverence, into this model.

Ok...I wasn't sure if you had the evisu wranglers, or just a pair of evisus with the same cut....nevermind.

And the term "repro" is used loosely...no point in getting too technical..."inspired", "homage".

Roland pictures of the fit on the 0005s would be awesome. And a price would be great too. And someone to help me get these fucking things would be amazing as well.

[cheep]

evisu heritage...

[the wit of the staircase]

you sized up 1 or 2? how to they feel?

[cheep]

sized up 2... these are 32 and im a 30 in everything.

they feel great... love the cut, the denim is really special. smooth feel, but very irregular at the same time. sort of thin compared to my sams, but id say a 14oz denim. im gonna be wearing these alot.

[gimmegimme]

They look great cheep. Any word on when they're available to us common folk?

[cheep]

should be in stores now... check retailers on evisu.com... dont think they are for sale online yet.

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

These look awesome. I thought that the places in Philly that carry evisu (listed on their site) are all ghetto stores but if anyone can tell me a retailer there that MIGHT carry these or anywhere in NYC that definitely would?

Ditto for my local retailers too...they only get the ugly shit in size 36+.

[salaami]

dammit cheep!!! you beat me to the punch! after i get the lee repro sams and the wrangler ones, ive swore off buying denim for at least 3-4 years. Arrgh!!!!!!

[knucks]

I really debated on those for a while but I honestly think I'd rather have the evisu repros

[ExileOnMainSt]

cant forget about the warehouse wranglers, 11mw repros:

[Ahlvahroe]

just out of curiosity do this trs qualify as a wrangler repro, cause when i first saw them i kinda thought that this was the look that they were going for. http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~ibiki44/truereligion-logan-m242018e7-1w-softrigid.htm

They must have been going for that, the details couldn't be anything but an attempt to throw back to wrangler.

[gimmegimme]

They indeed are. The rivets, the coinpocket, the engraving of the buttons, the leather patch with the wrangler font, and the arc's. They're the teenage girl take on wrangler I guess.

Got this off the bay -- any Wrangler experts can you date this? Cheep might have an idea.

[Gem_art]

Tenderloin make a LH twill Wrangler repro. I'm not sure how legitimate the LH twill is but they look wonderful, pictures tomorrow.

My guess, from the broken twill (post 65) and collar shapre would be mid 70s.

So, totally forgot about these till today, but I was never able to find anyone selling the slim version

Never did get them. Kind of pissed.

And just a bump for whatever.
