[adsurgo]

exactly what i was thinking...i know my evisus pretty well.. send more pics.

[coolhunter]

wow....this would be the worst place to try and sell fakes ...hope they´re not...

...If it wasnt for bad luck I wouldn´t have any luck at all..

[adsurgo]

i wouldnt be surprised.. this dude only has 1 post.. and the leather tag on those jeans is irritating me.

[superposition]

The bag says EVIS... isnt it supposed to be EVISU? Or is it just because they're used to be called Evis?

I know Japanese people call them EVIS and not EVISU.

[evlhunter]

post more detail pictures !!

yes, they did used to be called evis. some of the jeans still come in bags and whatnot that say evis. it means the same thing. some older models also have tags that say it. i dont understand why they would do this after the name change but i have seen it a few times.

Just curious what makes you guys think they are fake?

[adsurgo]

just the way they look. this style has been known to have fakes.

o and the leather patch is what got me pretty curious

[Superdutch]

Hey guys, i noticed some of you mentioned the leather patch in particular - why is that?

Just wanted to know how it should look.

I am starting to worry about my own Evisu's even though i purchased them from a reputable stockist - haha - might have to post a pic to make sure!

[allacedout]

UPDATED PHOTOS!!

these are def. legit.. i got them from a stockist in Singapore, a store called Redwolves Concept.

[allacedout]

If you guys want, i could show you the tag, etc.. I have 1 post cos i've been lurking around, reading and stuff.

Just cos I have 1 post doesn't mean that I don't know my denim. anyhow.. these still have that raw indigo smell.. : )

yumm

[eldave04]

The reason i thought they were fake is because there is no selvedge line under the cinch... Also the selvedge on most evisus like that are not redline... I am still not convinced they are real. Are there serial numbers on the inside of the back of the jeans?

[evlhunter]

Do you have a picture of the jeans(not just the small parts)? I want to see the whole thing.

Thanks

EDIT: Front and Back. I want to see the shape of the jeans. Thanks

The name change was due to a lawsuit with Levis. Evis (the original name) was just a pun on Levis and the japanese god "Evis(u)". Levis threatened Evis and thus, the name became Evisu. Remember, the original aim of Evisu was Levis reproduction.

[soleindahole]

these are legit.

[Paul T]

"Remember, the original aim of Evisu was Levis reproduction." True. Levi's forced Evis to change the name, and to drop the Red Tab from overseas versions (Levi's hadn't trademarked the red tab at the right time in Japan, so other manufacturers can use red tabs there).

Evis also did full-on Lee and Wrangler replicas, too - whereas the Levi's-style jeans had a painted Leiv's arcuate, the Lee replicas had a painted Lazy S arcuate...

i know. levis actually did try to sue them. but the courts figured it was irrelevant seeing as the companies were halfway around the world and for different markets.

Not true. Evis had to remove all of the back pocket "red tabs" so as not to be confused for Levis jeans. Also, considering the Evis was attempting to enter the London and NYC markets on an exlcusive basis, they couldn't afford a legal battle with Levis, a company with much deeper pockets than Evis.

[adsurgo]

uhh im pretty sure when they were an exclusively japanese company levis took them to court. i could be wrong tho.

mail me if you've got any enquiries.

[Stuffed Tongues]

how much por favor?

grimey retarded

[Paul T]

Levi's threatened Evis in the UK re the Red Tab in the early 90s. Evis's importers had to remove the red tabs. Even now, when they come in as grey imports, retailers are often forced to remove them. But Evis/Evisu retained the red tab in Japan, as they still do, because it wasn't trademarked there.

[sybaritical]

The jeans look all present and correct to me, and the bag is -or at least , was - a standard Japanese Evisya Tailor store take out. I have two pairs of Evisu that I bought at the Daikanyama store Tokyo as an induction to premium denim when I lived there, Six years ago. The first - a non selvedge zip fly limited edition with a crazy butt patch, blue hand painted arcuates and a red Evis tab - came in the exact same packaging. I still have it in mint condition and dug it out the bottom of my wardrobe to check.

[allacedout]

hey stuffed tongues, i emailed you. so, check it out.

[allacedout]

hey sybaritical..

thanks for checking it for me and telling the disbelievers. heh.

hello all.
