Evisu is still loved!

[CrashTestBrummie]

Yeah, I'd say handpainted Ed...look at the similarity with how mine used to look, especially the left one as the right pocket's not laid flat:

Agree?

[edmond]

hold on ill do comparisson picture of the 3

[edmond]

here ya go as you can see 3 different arcs right most is of course silk screened on leftmost im sure its handpainted on the middle one is the question

anyone care to elaborate? thanks!

[CrashTestBrummie]

Again Ed, from the pics the middle one looks painted...

Can't you feel the texture of the paint with your finger?

[edmond]

i can but im not sure why is it fatter than the leftmost one?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Ed, different painters have slightly different styles. On some of the Rakuten sites (well, translated ones ) they even state that the gulls may be slightly different to the ones in the picture, because of this.

The two people in the UK who paint, Kanji and Hiroko, have their own styles and paint in a slightly different way too...

You thinking of breaking in some No.1s now then?

[edmond]

yes bud,,im pretty amazed of how yours turned out.. liking the vintage fade these days you inspire my ctb.. ill give ya a kiss

[CrashTestBrummie]

You say the sweetest things Ed...

I was just going through some old pics and found this (poor quality) pic, seems like such a long time ago:

[edmond]

yeah the painting on your is almost the same as my yellow ones

[CrashTestBrummie]

yeah the painting on your is almost the same as my yellow ones

You gonna soak them and start wearing them then?

Damn, I'm in the mood to start on a new pair of denims now...

[edmond]

yeah ill soak em in a bit

[CrashTestBrummie]

What tag size are they again? And what's your actual waist?

Oh, and what size did the No.0 end up at?

[edmond]

no 0 ended up at 86.5 cm ( 34 inch ) no more shrinkage left im sure patch is burned out im normally a 33 these are still big other parts of the jeans are still big on them zero's haha

the yellows are a 35

Someone needs to get some serious wear on the No.0s, just to see what they're like.

And don't forget to oil the patch on the No.1s, keep it looking sweet!

[blm14]

yeah seriously edmond, if you dont wear those jeans then a thousand curses on thee and thy kin.

If you dont wear them then pass them on so they can get some LOVE!

[CrashTestBrummie]

I might be up for taking them on, reckon I could do something with them...

[edmond]

thought its gonna look good on me but ok ill get them hemmed and ill start weraing em together with # yellow.. ill wear em like some ww2 army guy

[marvelous1200]

Marv what are the 3rd ones from left hand ? loving their colour !

what up man, those are the special stripey diacocks. These were the first pair of evisu's that i wanted after seeing them in an italian botique but not being able to afford them...Then a couple years later i finally got them at the discount price. These don't get nearly the wear I would like to give them cause they're so flashy, so they get relegated to going out jeans and doing stuff that doesn't involve going to work...and I work a ton...and then sometimes i just want to put in work on my regular jeans...so yall know how it goes. The denim on these is amazing. very soft, yet the weave is uneven and textured as all hell, with a really rich blue, almost too blue sometimes, like it's hard to match style blue. These are sized up two, i usually wear a 36, these are 38's. 0001 cut. Here's a few pics....

I know a lot of people get bummed on these for whatever reason here, but whatevs, these jeans have their place and I'm still pretty hyped on em.

here's a few details

I'll post some fit pics of a few of the other pairs that you guys asked to see like the 17oz and 21oz in the coming days or weeks.

enjoy.

NIce pics, marvelous1200...I got the camouflage daicock ones from the same 'batch', as it were. I found them second-hand, as I'd hankered after them back in the days...

These were on sale in the UK for just short of £300, an extortionate amount compared to Evisu's standard price range. The denim is just as you describe, with an almost 'waxy' texture to it as well...

The jeans from that release sell from more than No.1 denim in Japan, although added import taxes would no doubt play a part:

Have a pair of those ugly things. Got em for $70 though, and wouldn't have paid a cent more. However, the denim was nice. I'd say 15-16oz; slubby. I guess they're green caste.

[coleslawyum]

^^Nah, the denim is nice… Just the hardware and embellishments are not to everyone's taste. But we know this already…

[edmond]

[edmond]

wait for them to soften up a bit

[scoon0224]

That's a great comparison Ed, shows clearly the two handpainted arcs VS the printed ones on the right. edit: see below

I especially like the thinner ones on the far left.

With ALD's and Fullcounts coming, I'm gonna have a hard time resisting more...thanks Ed.

[edmond]

oh sorry here it is bud

[CrashTestBrummie]

Looking good there Ed...

Can you please post comparison measurements BiG-style for Lot 2000 in No.1 and No.0? I'm curious to see if there's any difference in the shrinkage...

Cheers!

[edmond]

head to head

no1 denim shrank no.0

waist 1inch 1inch

front rise 1/2" 1/2"

back rise 1/4" 1/2"

thigh 1/2" 3/4"

knee 1/2" 0"

inseam 3 1/4" 1/4"

hem 1/2" 0"

take note ben already soaked these before he sent them to me.

so ask ben for the original measurements

the measurements for the 0 denim is i did 2 boiling soak second soak didnt do anything to the denim meaning that after ben's soak and my first soak shrinkage was all out

the no1 denim shrinkage is all out too no more shrinkage left i can assure this measurement

ED

[CrashTestBrummie]

Cheers Ed...so would you say the silhouette is now roughly the same?

The No.0 2000s looked a looser fit, even with all the shrinkage done...

[edmond]

yeah they fit me loose i got a 35 the 0's were a 38 i think i would have gotten away with a 34 but i like the fit now just right thanks man
