Evisu is still loved!

[chambo2008]

jeans are on fire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Standing in line here to congratulate CBT on those, especially the 2000! Great results in short time. They must've been worn pretty regularly?

About the european and japanese line mentioned above, I'm guessing that besides fit and fabric that there is a difference in the amount of indigo (dips) in those 2000 and my pair? I seem to remember a short discussion earlier in the thread about european and japanese Evisus but can't find right now. Sorry if this is an old already discussed topic.

Cheers for the feedback lads

Both pairs get worn all the time, outside of office hours...walking and biking a lot account for the wear though.

And I don't actually know about the indigo thing, but it would possibly be a combination of that and definitely to do with the actual denim as well...

Nice wear on those 2000's! Have to see how those progress.

Well, all the denim is supposedly made in Japan, and turned into a finished product elsewhere. The material of the denim seemingly varies from model to model, so there is no specific fabric or indigo utilized. Some pairs are dipped 16 times, some 30.

Like Heflys said earlier, seeing some of the non-Japanese styles worn in is a good thing, whether or not you have a preference for country of origin.

I'd like to see some proper fucked up D67 jeans, for a side-by-side comparison with the D85s.

In fact, having seen Rodeo Bill's pics in the evo thread, there's a lot more that I'd like to see...The wear that he put into his Deluxe jeans made me want to see how those DD65 Deluxe could go with some hard wear...

[chambo2008]

bought my wife some evisu's as she didn't have any decent jeans and said i had 15 so fair eunff nothing big happening but something different i suppose........ lol no fit pic's:p

[CrashTestBrummie]

Are they actually selvage? Can't see properly from the pics.

Hiroko (the painter) at Saburo wears Lot 0331, double-cuffed, and the jeans look great on her...

[chambo2008]

no there not... but still nice jeans got them for 100!! on sale also bought her a skirt will put pics on if you like very shinny, 98% cotten

[DenimRonin]

I hope evisu's are still loved cause. I finally have saved enough for a couple. Right now I'm breaking in a pair of number 2's 0331's. If anyone can tell me what to expect it would be appreciated. I'm about 1 week into it and hope to go a month before the first soak.

[chambo2008]

pics??????

[DenimRonin]

Not sure what I am doing wrong but the system keeps telling me that the upload is failing. It is proper size and with in limits.... any suggestions?

[chambo2008]

yeah best thing to do is sign up to photobucket.com and upload your pics there then once you have done that copy the img code at the bottem right of every photo..

hope that makes sense

[DenimRonin]

Thanks will do, should have photos loaded by tomorrow.

A few random links for your perusal:

Firstly, Kwan's Project; I'm sure a lot of you will have come across this site, if not then I hope you enjoy it as much as I first did when I found it. Some of the worn in denims here left me gobsmacked when I first saw them...Gives you an idea of the kinda vintage fades you can get:

This one I found randomly, the translated text is a bit of a nightmare but some interesting stuff on here, especially in the links on the left:

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://ji-nzu.seesaa.net/category/3854605-1.html&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=6&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Devisu%2Blot%2B1930%26start%3D50%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dopera%26rls%3Den%26sa%3DN

And some kind of Japanese Wikiblog on Evisu, kinda random but worth a gander. Be wary of the 'sponsored links' though, as the first few are legit and then you get into the realms of fake crapola:

ctb, im workin on it .. only on day11, but it seems that i've worn off the first indigo layer on my combs/whiskers and the crotch is already showing signs of light blue and wear is apparent there.

[chambo2008]

i washed my d85's only 3 days ago and they still stink... maybe a hot soak 2moz

maybe cheep is doing ok with the flowers??

[choice_genes]

hey guys,

I'm very interested in the 0005 cut left-hand twill that's coming out next year.

(I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, but just in case...)

http://www.evisu.com/blog/2008/08/14/sneak-peak-evisus-tribute-to-lee-lazy-s-slim-jeans/

I was just wondering if anyone had measurements for a w30 in the 0005 cut. I'm trying to figure out if they're a good cut for me - wanting to make sure that they're slim enough... Cheers

[chambo2008]

im not gonna put measurements right now but will say that its still boxy/roomy up top but more taper round the bottem leg

will do them for you 2moz!

I've been alternating My Red Box (d85)& Dow Luck's(d67), so as soon as they get some apparent wear I'll def post! Actually now that I think of it I might have something for you CTB!

I bought me a plain pocket pair of these in a size 38 and they measured 35. If i was you I would size up on these! That's what my experience was like!

[disruptfam]

yeah from my experience most deluxe run smaller than tagged
