Evisu is still loved!

[bunga]

it is quite pricy unfortunately and its not exactly deadstock, there's been some wear but the jacket is still in remarkably good shape save for the zip which needs a bit of a repair.

looks fantastic bunga ++

unfortunately $350 is a little pricey for me. i was thinking somewhere in the $200 range but thanks anyway--guess its deadstock! beautiful jacket definitely.

also great pickups.

Can you get a picture of where the zip needs repair? Mine needs some too! Right at the bottom the zip fabric is almost totally ruined.

ok will do that in a couple more days when i'm back to pick up my 2504xx after it's been chain stitched.

CTB - the store with many of the Evis jackets closed early today so no pics but here's some Evis porn to tide you over with.

The most insane beat-up pairs of Evisu i've came across, its a pair of Evisu (small e on the red tab) #2 Lot 2001.

ohhhhhh

[Paulo]

Those look great bunga! Im always in two minds wherever to get guls repainted. I think they way they are right now looks really nice but new guls on a worn pair of jeans makes them look really nice too. Difficult decision!

[beatle]

Not that it matters - but I think it looks odd if the jeans is all worn in and the gulls are "fresh"

[spacemanvt]

is the only place to get hand painted gulls and the cool Japanese symbols is in japan?

i am assuming BiG only has the gulls?

[Setone]

London does hand painted, as well.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Gordon from BiG said something about handpainted gulls and stuff at his store as a one-time event

[opethrapture]

Well if you ever get tired of them or need money I can take them off your hands

No apologies for getting these pics up again, these are mint!

Amazing combs on these, especially as they're a loose fitting cut...the lap of my 2001s will look this way one day, mark my words!

I'm undecided on the whole gull repainting malarky...I got the gulls on my 2001s repainted but wouldn't do so again...

On the other hand, the green paint on the 2101s has started to come off really quickly, and I'm very tempted to get a white Lazy S painted on in its stead...

[salaami]

those are clearly the best evisu i've ever seen( no disrespect to you all)!!! that's the ''next-level'' of fading i've been repeatedly ranting about lately! the areas of pooling are the ''highlights''. i will not retire my FC until they join their brother evisu 2001 with this level of fade! bunga, you are the fucking MAN for this one! post the corroded rivets in the hardware thread!

beatle, i once thought about repainting my arcs, but then i too feel like new arcs on worn jeans looks a bit off...no diss but kinda like Flat Heads do sometimes...

[Planet Mental]

fuck just best looking evisus I've seen, definitely one of the best looking pairs ive ever seen

[salaami]

you're right, FUCK what i said. +rep!

[bunga]

glad everyone like what they saw, i think the previous owner must have repainted the gulls at some point, they should have disappeared completely by now.

salaami - will try take pics of the rivets tonight once they're dried up in the sun, they smelled too funky so i put them into a lukewarm soak overnight - the water turned brown yellow!

repainting gulls - i think if the jeans are still not too worn out then its ok to repaint, but if its already well-faded i don't see the point as it'll look jarring having something completely new on something old and worn out. need to get my #1 special and 2504xx painted, thinking of red and yellow gulls....

[jyoni]

Wow, bunga...over the top man.

[michaelscott]

anyone have any experience going tts with 2000 #1? do they stretch enough to go back to pre-soak measurements? i'm assuming it's just the waist that would be the biggest issue in terms of fitting after shrinking, correct?

fit pics would be much appreciated.

i know the general consensus is to size up at least 1, but i've gone contrary to what's normally recommended with other jeans and found the right fit (eg. se05bsp - went tts, tho most recommend size up one)

thanks a lot.

[Paulo]

Some pictures i was going to do some outside but cant be bothered right now.

BTW someone on here has one...

[bunga]

damn paulo, my size too...can't rep you now....will try have pics of the zip you wanted by end of the week

[edmond]

i got a couple of those but theyre not evisu's

[Flash]

lookin good Paulo my lot 2000 didnt sell on ebay and im glad because i tried them on and im likeing the fit now.

[Setone]

Liking the gulls Paulo. Is the crotch fraying?

[Paulo]

Badly and im too lazy to get anything done about it right now. I really should sort it out before it becomes horrible though.

[CrashTestBrummie]

New season shit on the International site...some sweet tees:

Some grey jeans up there, too, on http://international.evisu.com/collections/new

The site's still as bollocks and amateurish as ever though...No product description on the things I've looked at, only one pic of each new item, pricing seems to be all over the shop on the tees and they still have the US site phone number up for the 'benefit' of their non-US based customers...

I'm assuming that the current restructuring hasn't yet extended to their public face online...

[Setone]

Just checked the site and concluded that the Noh Daicock jeans must have been dsigned by an 8 year old?

[Paulo]

The IT department is pants. However im not sure where they resided and it could be that they have just been told they are being fired soon if they were in Hong Kong and as operations are moving to New York i doubt they would bother to relocate them.
