There's a deadstock version of the same pair floating around too for closer to $350 USD.

In case you have some spare money... 2001 No.1 in the long inseam version. I didn't know the waist was so undersized.

The Yamane Industries jeans do look nice and are somehow closer to old Evisu but god, those ugly rivets he is using...😅

Yeah, I keep popping onto Yahoo auctions Japan and looking at the lightly worn pairs. I basically need a 35 in the old 2001 No.1. I haven't pulled the trigger yet though because I own a pair of the 2001s in No.2 denim. I think I should fill out the original Osaka 5 rotation with some SD101s and Denime before a second pair of 2001s.

Found a very interesting pair of old Evis jeans. Tags and rivets/buttons look good to me although I think the seagulls look off and there's no crotch rivet. I've got a small collection of early Evis era Evisu and haven't seen anything like this. Could anyone with more experience tell me what I'm looking at?

[evisu8858]

A little update on my previous post:

The opinions I've gathered from some collectors and enthusiasts lead me to the conclusion that these are a pre '96 prototype/odd pair, with a small chance they were personally painted by Hidehiko (according to an off Sufu big Evisu collector). The leg twist would suggest a no.2 variant (credit to T for spotting this).

I don’t know much about Evis/Evisu but crotch rivet apart, those jeans look legit to me, including the gulls. Am I right in thinking that the colour of the gulls is related to the location of the Evis/u shop they were sold in? Perhaps that will provide a clue to their origin.

[evisu8858]

Yes, I believe they've done that for some time although I have no idea where you find the list of colours for each shop. I do know that the one in Osaka Shinsaibashi is purple, but that's not especially helpful information here haha

[Maynard Friedman]

A quick Google search suggests that the "Shinsaibashi Red" gulls were exclusive to purchases at the Shinsaibashi store in Osaka. Not sure how accurate that is.

[Muck Dynasty]

Evisu online shop: Wine

Evisu Sapporo: Gray 

Evisu the Tokyo: Japan Blue

Evisu Osaka: Purple

Evisu Osaka Dowluck: Khki Brown

Evisu store Nagoya: Special Brown (like coffee brown)

Evisu the Kyoto: Green

Evisu kumamoto: Mentaiko Pink.

Evisu Yamane building: D.Brown.

This may have been true in the past but it's currently a purple colour, I was lucky enough to visit in September.

I've worn my pair of Yamane 1990s in no.0 denim for 16 months now and washed 4 times. The denim is nice and slubby but I prefer the Evisu no.1 denim. Here is my Evisu 2000 in no.1 also worn for about 16 months. Another thing to add- the Yamane 1990 no.0 is in size 35 while the Evisu 2000 no.1 in size 36 started about the same size but the no.1 denim shrunk a lot more

Do you have measurements for the Yamane 1990 you can share?

Thanks. Looks like a completely different and much slimmer fit than the old 2000’s?

Anyone tried the Yamane Industries denim yet? Is it the sane denim as MIJ Evisu? Are the measurements on the website all wrong just like how Evisu was? I’m highly tempted to buy a pair because they ship internationally but hoping to get some input before I pull the trigger.

its chinese made , and run by Yamane's son....if you are a purist, stay away.

I never got around posting these. A pair of #2001 No.1 Special from 2009/10. They have the black/grey selvedge line. I used to own a pair of this denim in the 2000 cut and a size smaller.

Found these in one-wash state in Japan.

hmm. my 2000s in a bigger size (36) has the same front and back rise but a bigger thigh (by around an inch) and a similar hem.

Do you have to size up for yamane industries jeans or can you go tts?

They sure do! I've been poking around for a while looking for some 2001 No.1 Evisus, but just haven't found the right ones yet. These look even better on body than they do in the flats.

[thixtienlam]

Bought this pair from zenmarket. Evisu is always loved!

Which size do you think you would need in the 2001 No.1 ?

I need to send my pair out for hemming (again). The pair I bought came with a quite bad chainstitch hem. I wanted to Daniel from DC4 to do it again but they don't offer this service anymore for jeans not bought from them. So I opted for another service in Germany, also with a Union Special. She used polycotton which I agreed to but the threads broke after tthe first wash. So I will most likely send them to Simone from Word of Mouth for a perfect hem job but without cutting any length.

[Jared_Lee]

@beautiful_FrEaK, I've been keeping an eye out for 35 and 36 tag sizes.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That's nearly the same size as me! Really that big?

I have a raw pair of evisu 2001 no.1 in 38 and the sizing is crazy. If I remember correctly, the waist measures 34 or 35 raw, but the legs and the rest of the jeans are big.
