Evisu is still loved!

^^ no bro!! try to hold off on a wash!

[selaviso]

yeah id wait on a wash too cuz cuz creases hasnt set in but a wash wouldnt hurt as well. ie ctb.

[Setone]

If they don't stink to high heaven, and they're not drenched in sweat - no need to wash.

Seconded.

The longer you wear them, the more 'shape' they'll get...but if you wear them hard then wash them often...

[fastasleep]

I'd tend to agree with all of you, as regards holding off on a wash - my job doesn't help though, as it's basically frenetic bursts of energy, punctuated by periods sat at a desk....so there's been plenty of opportunity for sweating, then a good knee crease and stretch while it soaks in. And after about 6 weeks of that rotation, I've ended up with some extremely comfortable, but rather dank jeans! The flashed-out pictures gave a truly disappointing representation of how they're looking, too. And, in all fairness, they've had no water on them at all up to this point, as (for no particular reason) I never pre-soak any of my sanforized denim.

Plus, it doesn't help that they've had a trip to Vegas with me. Even several weeks later, there's still a little of that 'essence' captured in them - although, in that regard, they're far better off than my Hotei Fans.....I've worn those fairly solidly on 3 trips down there now, but I've held off on a wash, as I probably only have 3 weeks of wear time on them in total. That said though, they have something of an aura about them, uncannily close to the heady aroma of a casino carpet (not that I've ever bent down and sniffed one, you understand.....).

Anyhow, 'nuff babbling - here's the scan of the Yamane vs. Lightning 15th Anniversary tee I mentioned in an earlier post....I believe the whole series of tees for this go on sale starting tomorrow (13th):

'the heady aroma of a casino carpet' is lyrical...repped

You'll have to post some pics of the jeans when they're dry...I know what you mean about having to wash them though, I wanted to wear my green caste jeans for as long as possible without washing, but the stench beat me on the third month..Febreze and airing your jeans outside is not going to do fuck all to the bacteria that cause the jeans to smell and possibly rot...

Great tee as well, really liking that

Speaking of the green caste jeans, I managed to get some better pics finally...these won't be getting too much hard wear for a while, for obvious reasons...

Really nice jeans though, really happy with the subtle way they turned out...

[fastasleep]

Looking good, CTB - really liking how the fades look on the lighter denim....there's hope for my Hotei Fan yet! The D330 is so soft though, and seems to be much harder to put wear on than any of my other pairs. I'm a patient fella though....

went on the back of my friends bike doing 120mph at one point

so the wind was very cold and the brown boxs didnt keep my legs that warm

Jokes aside, I'll be happy as fuck if they end up like any of Paul T's Lees, posted elsewhere in various threads...Paulo posted some faded 2101s a few pages back too, and they were unreal...

That's an interesting fact. So how old are you Crash? If you don't mind answering.

Yeah, that was the one I was liking

Anyone seen these boots before, off evisu.jp?

Edit: they've actually got more models, not seen them before but never really looked too far beyond the normal jeans...

[matt72178]

Hi everyone~

Do the online stores provide hand printing service? I want to buy an Evisu No.1, but I don't like it's thick big white gull. Is it possible to buy a plain pocket No.1 and ask them to hand print the white gull?

Thanks~

[selaviso]

yeah proxy from japan though because big doesnt offer a painting service

[rockon99]

Look what i found at buffalo for $45.

i didnt buy them, but they were ligit as far as i know. skinny red selvedge. hairy denim. looked really nice.. i should go back and get them maybe.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Nice...and legit as far as I can tell from the patch although the gulls are a bit much,

Was there a tab, or a hint of one? Can't see clearly in the pic...
