Also any idea of how long of an inseam they have?

[Paulo]

I would doubt any of them are selvedge denim for a starters.

[chambo2008]

^^ true they are not selvedge inseam is 34 on pairs of eu's i had before thats the normal leg length

I don't really care about that though, I'm just trying to get a cheap pair of raw denim for my brother. I don't want to spend 300 for a pair of jeans he may only wear a couple of times.

Thanks, do they fade alright or am I better off getting something else?

[chambo2008]

yeah every jean fade, what size is he?

[greeneggs4spam]

usually a 36 or a 38 with at least a 34 inseam - but longer is better.

Better off looking for a pair of uniqlo's i would say.

[chambo2008]

did you get those jeans paulo?

[coleslawyum]

Paulo's right about this. At least uniqlo make shuttle loom denim.

Had my camera out today. Figure I'll take some pics of the jeans that I have on deck.

quick question:-

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d97851187 - are these are no.1 special but they share the same lot no. 2504 as the older fisherman patch no.2? or they both came out at the same time?

i recall there's also a 2504XXR which comes with stitched seagulls.

[Paulo]

Not sure what your question really is. LOT numbers are the different cuts of denim. The NO.1, NO.2, and so on are the different types of denim. So cuts and denim types can be mixed.

As for the patches it varies the two older ones you mention are only found in the older garments however thats not always the case.

Lastly the guls can come in 3 different types. One is screen print, two is hand painted and three is stitched. As always they vary depending on the buyers choice and stock at the time. Though finding stitched guls is fairly rare in Evisu japan items.

[chambo2008]

wondering how the heritage no2 matches up to the japan made no2

[Paulo]

Well to be honest i have no idea. I never wore any D85 denim and the new NO.2 i still havent got an opportunity to get any. I was trying to get the half NO.2 half NO.13 jeans but they were out of stock on those.

[chambo2008]

just thinking as someone has a pair in the 0005 cut on ebay for 80pounds

or the evisu deluxe ikeda for around the same price not sure on the measurements on those yet thou they look slim tapperd

[CrashTestBrummie]

These deserve another showing, can't believe that no one has commented on these man...

All repped out, owe you some for these. You still wearing these? They're the kind of stuff that I don't think I could ever put to one side in favour of a newer model; proper all-time classics. They're like my 2001s, which I've worn today, as each wash brings out more nuances in the character of the denim.

Washed the Lazy S jeans in the week, and I'm loving the feel of the denim on those too, just keeps on getting softer and softer...not sure if they'll ever develop the character that the Japanese No.1 and 2 seem to get, but ask me about it in a few months time and I'll let ya know...

[bunga]

thanks for the reply paulo, sorry i didn't make my question clearer.

what i meant was are the ones in the auction no.1 special because they do look like the typical no.1 special patch and if they were released at the same time as the 2504 no.2 which had the fisherman patch.

the fisherman patch is definitely not used anymore, agreed that the stitched seagulls are quite rare, have only seen two examples before. will try take pics of a pair that's with a friend and share with everyone.

Thanks Crash. These have slowly become classics in their own right, even though it's based on the ultimate classic 501.

I love that these are so hard to fade, as well as the funky greenish hue, which disappears over time. I decided to drag them out of the closet to see what i can do with them. It's hard to decide!

Classics indeed, and quoted for truth! It's interesting to see how the whole repro thing now has models that, whilst based on classic jeans themselves, are now seen as classics in their own right.

I can't see how anyone could ever get bored of something like the No.1 denim (for example) and 'retire' it after a while as you know there's always going to be more to see and appreciate...

[chambo2008]

from my personal experience i felt that evisu deluxe was able to hold its own against the made in japan stuff in terms of material and such, not sure about fade just yet what do you reckon ben?

im not just saying this because i will proberly buy the

evisu deluxe single needle Ikeda D737

[blm14]

Is this the same as no.1 denim?

[edmond]
