Evisu is still loved!

[CrashTestBrummie]

I've got a few pairs of Evisu and a pair of deadstock Evis on ebay at the moment - same username. If anyone is interested in anything then drop me a line on here to arrange something. 

Happy New Year! 

[Maynard Friedman]

Happy New Year CTB, are you moving away from Evisu or just trimming the collection?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Alright stranger! 

And trimming down the collection, I've been meaning to share my denim on here for a while. Currently wearing No.1 Lot 2000T and No.2 Lot 2504 Evis, with a pair of Lazy S and Brown Box in the wings! 

Im wearing fatigues and other trousers quite a bit these days so the denim isn't getting the wear it used to. I tend to go in cycles with things though...

Anyone messed with the 18oz Petero18 fabric?

I just ordered a pair of the "tight silhouette". That fabric looks real dope though. I will post pics when they get here.

it's one of the best and most interesting denims I've ever worn, super stiff at first so best of luck with the tighter fit

[rockon99]

@Planetarium good to know! The measurements make it seem more like a heavy taper than an overall tight fit, but we’ll see. I hope I sized correctly. Thankfully I can return them if not. I’m a 33 in Samurai’s S0511xx, and picked a 34 in this Evisu.

@Planetarium these just showed up. How much did your pair shrink? Length and Waist

Not much, about an inch in both dimensions. I wash cold and line dry and they haven't noticeably changed since, but my jeans are all fitted in the seat and then ample everywhere else.

Thanks, surprisingly, these were very snug in the waist, and I am opting to exchange for size 35.

edit: I plan to (as with all my unsanforized pairs), wash hot and then hang dry. The main thing I'm concerned with is the length ending up too short. I have a feeling it'll end up perfect though.

They're back in the bag they showed up in, waiting for a shipping label! I'll post pics when I get my size 35 :)))

Petero 18 showed up today. I just finished hot-washing them, and gave them a hot dry for 15min or so. They're just the slightest bit damp. Man the texture on these is pretty incredible and I imagine the vertical falling will be out of this world. Pics to come.

Eviso Petero 18 (EGD2000TH001) Size 35

Measurements in inches

Pre-wash:
Waist - 34.6 
Front Rise - 11.4
Upper Thigh - 12.8
Inseam - 32.7
Hem - 7.1
Rear Rise - ?

Post-wash:
Waist - 34
Front Rise - 11.2
Upper Thigh - 12
Inseam - 31.5
Hem - 6.9
Rear Rise - 14.8

I hot washed these at a laundromat, but it looks like they could absolutely shrink more. A little puzzling. I did also walk in them about 5 miles while they were still slightly damp, so I'm sure that contributes somewhat. Anyway, the laundromat has front loading machines, but my washer (currently out of service) is a top loading machine. I theorize that they weren't in contact with hot water for long enough to yield a ton of shrinkage. No problem!

The texture is incredible, and it’s interesting to feel the ridges that travel vertically along the fabric

I think I'm gonna throw some oil on that patch

This is my first pair of Evisu, and I'm looking forward to a nice adventure with them

best

Hem measurement and some words.

[1fookntitefd]

Wow those look amazing! Curious what the hem ended up at after your wash? Also, please post fit pics!

[rockon99]

@1fookntitefd whoops hem is about 7in. 
 

I really wish these had shrunken more, but they fit nicely, considering the thigh has slimmed down a bit. Maybe I’ll post measurements when I wash them next but that won’t be for at least a few months. 
 

These are listed as “tight silhouette” but in my opinion they are much more of an aggressively tapered leg, which is what I noticed upon viewing the posted measurements. The thigh is much roomier than my other “tapered” fits, and I have big thighs!

 

edit: Another thing I noticed right off was how the ink printed on the patch (“Petero 18” and the lot no.) have almost completely been washed away

Additional words

[Muck Dynasty]

The denim looks a bit like the limited edition 17oz Hank Dyed. It doesn’t looks to have much shrink at all, almost sanforized amounts of shrink. I don’t recall it saying either way which it is anywhere either. Whatever the case, the denim looks nice. I’m curious to see how they wear in and stretch.

[rockon99]

@Muck Dynasty These are unsanforized, at least from everything i've read. Looking forward to getting the shrinkage out at some point, but that wont be for at least a few months.

[Bobbo]

Fantastic texture on that pair!

[lee porter]

Very nice a think the t stands for tapered no tight 

[rockon99]

Another to illustrate the texture

@lee porter yes that is correct, but the shop they came from lists them as "tight silhouette"

[Planetarium]

the tight is usually a translation of straight leg, a 47 cut being "tight" compared to the 55 and WWII cuts that are quite popular there

best denim ever, enjoy

[rockon99]

@Planetarium I had no idea! Learning something new every day.

[rockon99]

Shameless low-effort post here, but check out the texture inside from the irregular warps and wefts tightening together.

Hi guys,

Been a while, hope everyone’s doing well. Alot has changed since I last took some photos with my iPhone 4 or 5 so I thought I’d share some Evisu naughtiness with you all. 

These remain unworn and dead stock condition. For the right price I would part with them. But I still love them. 

Waist 40cm across, inside leg 92cm.

All the best x

[Thanks_M8]

I’ve had them since 2013 (produced a while before then I believe) and getting them was very stressful indeed my friend.

Measure 31.4 raw for size 34? OUCH! Still sound stressful

[dant87]

Yeh the size is way off on them isn’t it! Typical tbh lol

[marvelous1200]

Hi everybody, been a long time since i've been on here, but recently i've been looking at buying another pair of 2000 no. 2 but i've noticed that all the new pairs only come in 32 inseam. 

Also looking at a pair of No.1 Tiger Preshrunk, this seems to be a bit confusing as no.1 usually shrinks a lot, so much that i can't fit them.

Does anybody have experience with the older 35 in inseam versus the newer 32 in inseam than can compare them directly? is it really 3 inches shorter? 

trying to decide if i need to search for older deadstock pairs or if it's safe to just buy a new pair. i'm hoping maybe the jeans are actually a little longer than 32 and that at the end of the day they end up at 32 after any minimal shrinkage. 

thanks in advance for any info people have!

added bit about tiger preshrunk

[Broark]

Looks like Evian JP has a 30% off sale on their jeans currently, bringing them to 23,100 yen. Pair that with proxy fees and that’s still a good deal!

[indigoslaves]

@dant87 oh no, cant wait to see them in a year, what a nice pair dant!! could you share a fit picture of em?
