Evisu store in Soho not happening

[Miles]

I work close to that spot on Greene St. Construction stalled on that place many months ago, and then just this week, they replaced the Evisu wallpaper covering the windows with some new "for rent" signs.

Judging from the lady who just opened up the Cotelac store next door, those buildings had to deal with some unruly construction issues. I'm guessing it proved to be too much for Evisu to deal with. Too bad.

evisu is not opening for many reasons.

one of them being that superfuture banned their contractors.

And we care...why?

what does sf have to do with evisu really? name reasons

[onemancult]

nothing, really.

EDIT: except that i'm kind of fond of screaming "die, cock!" whenever i see someone wearing their jeans.

[cheep]

evisu is not opening, but blue in green is getting a big shipment of blank pocket made in japan no1 and no2

[poly800rock]

thats awesome, but i was looking forward to getting them hand painted as well.

[cheep]

that may be a possibility... let me see what i can find out about that.

the hand painting was gonna be done there anyways, since the evisu store was never gonna carry the made in japan jeans. those have always been planned to be a blue in green exclusive outside of japan.

[Tyro1]

That's good news about the made in Japan evisus. I think a lot of people will be keen on those after the DD+1

[readytoignite]

has BiG figured out they are no longer entitled to charge 8.375% sales tax yet?

[cheep]

gordon said that he is working on the hand painted gulls in store. hes hopeful that it will happen, and chances are it will be the guy who did the dd+1 jeans.

about the sales tax, its on the website.

[Crillz]

cool that they're giving a backup option, but seriously, all the hype for nothing? how disrepspectful

[spacemanvt]

i totally want some hand painted gulls

how much are those going to run?

[heflys]

i totally want some hand painted gulls

Well, in Japan I believe it's about $20. But I doubt it'll be the same price.

I got pwn3d at nom de guerre last week. After I got home, I realized it said 8.375 tax on the receipt. I made a semi-large purchase there so I lost like 20 bucks.

20 bucks i could have spent on sexxxy time

i think they can paint all sorts of shit. japanese kanjis like 戒, 楽

it just depends on how much you are williing to pay. also, it depends on the color.

i remember that some colors like pink were more expensive than white.

I was in there last Saturday and Gordon didn't charge me any sales tax.

Same thing at NDG.

Wait, so there's no sales tax on clothes on clothing in NYC now or is it just items under $120?

[inthemix_]

Evisu store not opening isn't so bad afterall.. I'm kind of glad actually! Everyone will be able to buy them at the store where masses of people would be walking in and out reducing their exclusiveness and increasing popularity(hehe.. i thought for a second if thats even possible!). But then again, the masses will probably gain knowledge from seeing authentic evisus. I guess all in all it's bad that they're not opening but hey, at least theres a positive side to it.

From BiG's website:

"...there is no longer New York City sales tax imposed on the purchase of clothing and footwear regardless of the amount. The current total sales tax is 4.375%, down from 8.375%, for all clothing and footwear. Sales tax only applies to New York residents online and any purchases made in store."

[rome1]

I had to read that statement twice over the first time I read it on the BiG website. I thought it contradicted itself, but its only for NYC residents.

def. kinda sucks about the evisu store I just wanted to see the variety of stuff they were gonna offer in there.

How are they gonna know that you are from NYC? What are they gonna do ask for ID or your address?

[bluespring]

^ship to and bill to address duh!

[constant struggle]

oh wow, i thought it was jsut on items under $120, now everything, hot damn

[readytoignite]

well, the fine print is that there is no more nyc tax, but you still need to pay the ny state and transportation tax - a total of 4.375% for any clothing above $120.

anyway thanks for the info cheep - i brought this up to them in november but didn't get anywhere... i want my money back!

back on track here, why isn't evisu opening?

[cheep]

poly, chad told me that they wanted to focus on wholesale first, and really establish themselves in the us before they open a retail space.

but... who knows the real reason.
