Evisu is still loved!

[CrashTestBrummie]

maybe I should offer him 50p?

Plus a couple of quid for postage and packing, eh?

He might find the offer irresistible

This was a few months ago going to the Lakers parade in downtown L.A. I'll try to take a fit pic when there's some sunlight.

[shikimayatu]

here's some wearing the pants pics, requested by CTB. These were pretty snug when I bought them but I refuse to put these in the dryer so they'll always be relaxed. Also been jogging all summer to add to that.

was way too close to the camera

wrong side for lighting >_<

[CrashTestBrummie]

Good stuff...always liked this style of jeans, but the inseams tends to be too short...

[salaami]

i like those yamanes. the back pockets are unique without going too far. i like the big leather patch too.

Some updates on my MiMacau #1 Special. These are the D80 with the black gull.

It's hard to assign a timeframe. I soaked them earlier this year and wore them mainly for long drives and lounging. After I put on some winter weight, I had to shelve my contest 501s, so I wore these hard through all of November.

[CrashTestBrummie]

I owe you rep for those mate, loving them long time.

You've gotta be pretty happy with how they're turning out, right?

[jyoni]

Oh yes, Ben. They were quite filthy, couldn't really gauge the progress on them until I washed. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

[CrashTestBrummie]

I bet!

I've some more deadstock Evis jeans to share, thanks to eBay...I'll get some pics up over the weekend.

Lot 2111, in a 36 though, might have to sag them a 'little' as they're baggy as fuck...

[Flash]

Crash how do you find these , i search ebay all the time and dont find anything . do they have the dowluck patch?

I think I got lucky; I hadn't looked properly for ages untilblm14 posted that link a couple of pages ago...they were on the same page as the millennium specials, just listed as 'Evisu jeans' and with only one pic.

They're Lot 2111, which are a different 'Cowboy' Leepro, based (I think) on the Lee 131 overalls. The cut is baggy, with a cinchback and suspender buttons, and a cloth 'bull' Stylecraft patch. Deadstock condition.

I've not even got a clue as to whether they're sanforised or not, going to try and find out from Birmingham's only other known collector of Evis...

[CrashTestBrummie]

Here they are...actual size 36 x 36...spoke to Ming, who owns the shop A Too in Birmingham and asked him for his advice, as he used to wear and sell Evis long before the 'u' got added to the brand...

I gotta decide whether to try washing them at a very high temperature and then sticking them in a dryer, or just hold onto them and resell...They're massively baggy at the moment, but if I can get No.1-esque shrinkage outta them then they'll be ok...

Proper old school Evis gulls:

[edmond]

ill just buy them off ya ok if you choose to sell them seriuosly lets talk ben

Would you be after them in deadstock condition, or willing to have them after a soak if they don't fit me?

[edmond]

i want them in deadstock man believe me the fit will be quite big on you

[CrashTestBrummie]

At the moment, the fit would be pretty big on anyone as the legs are massive!

[edmond]

so pls contact me ok ? seriously

[blm14]

I might be interested too. What's the current pre-soak waist measurement in centimeters?

[coleslawyum]

Crash, looks like you can start holding your own auction too.

[Skeese]

Really good find, loving the back pockets. They would shrink like no.1 denim...

[CrashTestBrummie]

Waist 47cm across the top, leg 93cm...

[slowdownarthur]

Wow Crash, what a great find!

[CrashTestBrummie]

Yeah, it's been a pretty good year, all said.

[Skeese]

Yeah those would most likely shrink down to/near a 34" waist and stretch to a 35" easily...

[Paulo]

I would say sell them even after a really hot wash and what not i expect them to get back to close to original size with wear.

[arcanum]

finally got my hand on no1 denim !!

[edmond]

blm these are not going to fit you

blm sell ??

[N-SB]

What kind of denim is No.5?

I found these on Rakuten.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Looking good, arcanum. Any chance of some pre- and post-soak fit pics?

Looks like a different take on the old D85 denim, from the selvage...Not seen it listed as No.5 before...

Couple of quickly taken fit pics of Lot 2111 in their dry state, with the buckleback tightened so they're an actual 34 waist...

[edmond]

so selling or not??
