ok so i dont speak japanese but from my years of searching and doing research i think saxaphone is baby blue, dont know why. ill assume wine is burgandy, and i think cyber is teh daicock, instead of the regular gull.

but besides that i sure would like this shirt.

Picked up this cotton jacket on eBay this week for £2.99, arrived this morning:

It's Italian-made, and although the label picture above is poor, it says what appears to be 'Lot 10XZ'. This is the same as the old Italian Evisu below, which also have the same style of gulls and 'Cobra Original' stamped on the back of the rivets, and which have been authenticated:

Now I need to get it checked out, but the jacket's barely been worn and I don't think that the seller knew what he was selling. It's very light, more of a summer jacket than anything else. If it's genuine, as I believe it is, then I think I just got myself a bargain...

[Skeese]

^^ like those style of gulls

[goat]

Crash - i could never pull off a jacket like that, but for 2.99 pound, that's quite the steal (hell, even if it ends up being fake, you can't get a jacket for <$10 anywhere!)

I hear you! Not my style really, but thought it was worth a look. I'll let you know if it turns out to be the real deal...

anyone can help me to get these in a 32?

i wish my gulls were glow in the dark..

ahh crap idk what to do with my evisus. theyre 31x35 i wore them for like 2 months and theyre too big in the hips and thighs. has anyone tried tapering their evisus ? I dont want my gulls on the front...

This is an open question to anyone who has tried both the japanese range and the US range:

How does the US "Heritage Style" Fit compare with, say, the Japan 2000 or 2001 fit? It seems to me like the US rise is not quite as long and that the seat doesn't flare out quite so much. Plus, a lot of the US range is sanforized.

I'd say that the standard Heritage cut, i.e. Lot 0001, is closest to Japanese No.2 Lot 2000 in terms of silhouette and cut - a 34" waist jean in these cuts has a rise of 11.8" and a hem of 8.7", based on my own measurements. The inseam's just over an inch longer on the Japanese jeans.

The Heritage 0001 styles don't have so much of a hip flare as Lot 2001, even though they're ostensibly based on that cut. They are slightly more roomy in the thigh area than No.2 Lot 2000, but other than that I'd say they're comparable in fit.

Heritage Lot 0331 (34" again) has a front rise of 10.8". with the hem at 8", which corresponds more to No.1 Lot 2000 post-soak (10.25" and 8", although these were smaller than tagged size pre-soak so will have shrunk relatively more).

Hope you can follow that...

[jubei]

I think that makes sense. It certainly corresponds with how the cuts look like online.

Is the Lot 0331 the unsanforized version of the Heritage cut? If I'm understanding correctly, most of the US range is the Lot0001 cut you mentioned.

[heflys]

No. 1 denim, is usually, if not always, based on the 2001 cut. The Lot0331 is simply a slim-cut, but is sanforized. Lot 2004 is supposedly a slim cut as well, but resembles more of a regular cut IMO.

Carhartt's a fashion label over here

Way off-topic, but I dug this out for a pic, figuring you'd appreciate it, Crash. All my U.S. made stuff is pretty much trashed, but this is a flawless little U.S. made jacket I picked up for a girl about 6 years ago. I don't ever let them take any swag, fuck that shit --but she looked great in it, as would any "wee burd" with small boobs.

Kids' size 18. It's been washed and dried once. Had I been aware of fading raw, dry items at the time, I would have kept it so.

[CrashTestBrummie]

^ I got a couple of jackets in the same colour which I held onto, as they're decent winter jackets as it goes.

S'funny, people go on about the pricing of some of the Evisu lines that are sold outside of Japan but one of the Carhartt jackets that I have cost me $60 in the States and I've seen it retail for the equivalent of $250 here. Only difference is that it's being sold as workwear over your side of the Atlantic, and streetwear over here.

And don't get me started on Levi's, as a standard pair of pre-washed denims retail for around £65 here and the dry selvage lines start around £120. I'll leave you to do the currency conversions...

damn really?

[jyoni]

Good grief, Crash, how about we trade U.S. goods for rum-cask Glenmorangie?

[CrashTestBrummie]

damn really?

Hell yeah Selaviso! The average annual wage/salary over here's about $7000 higher than the US, but the general cost of living more than levels the playing field. When I was in the States last year I found that I didn't have time to spend the currency I had! I know the dollar was weaker then, but even so y'all get the better deal with clothes and food. And footwear too - a pair of Nike Air Max 95s here costs £110...

And Jyoni, if you ever need a UK proxy service, I'm your man!

[jyoni]

pm me the cost of a bottle.

if you like crown royal (or anything you want) we can just swap, you tell me.

[CrashTestBrummie]

^PM sent...

And if there's anyone here who's W31 L31, cast your eyes over these:

Not going to find many of them popping up...If they were longer leg then I'd have probably kept them to myself

[chambo2008]

d85 denim will last a life time 3months wear (

also a d85 oki ni pair indigo isn't that clear in normal light and i am unable to make wiskers lol

[cosmicflop]

I too have the same Oki-Ni/Evisu collaboration jeans on rotation.

Interestingly, I also have a pair of Evisu purchased for me in Yamane-san's tailoring shop in Tokyo and I'm sure you guys would be well equipped to tell me more about the model. Photos to follow later.

Dear Adam

We stock Japanese denim at a minimum of £250, I can not take photo unfortunately as you will need to visit the store as we do not sell them over the web, and it is a small corner collection.

Kind regards
