Evisu is still loved!

[the_ming]

haven't had a moment to finish taking the post-wash/dry pics and post all of the pics, but i have to say, as cheap said, these are the finest jeans i have ever owned.

i followed the evisu advice to the letter, and my patch didn't get destroyed (wetting it before and once during the drying process seemed to take care of that.) i put on some obenhauf's after it was dry and that seemed to help to condition the patch a bit, i want to do another coat tonight, as it seems to have absorbed all the obenhauf's and still wants more.

one question, these have shrunk an absurd amount (forgot to measure pre-wash size, so i'm not sure exactly how much) but before i hem them, i am wondering how much they will continue to shrink in length, if at all.

will post the pics by tomorrow, but thanks to everyone for the advice!

Time to bump up the thread with some Lot 2113, they've taken a beating over the past few weeks but only minimal wear on them (pics taken with flash):

And the reinstated tab:

raw

after 2 x hot wash followed by hot dry.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

fit is like mine after 2 hot soaks. is it a tripple cuff? what's the inseam on yours right now?

[mr.invincible]

how come i dont have that white patch in the inner waist?? i dont feel legit anymore,

[CrashTestBrummie]

The fit's very good...i have to do a double take every time I see that black selvage though as my brain always tells me that it's stitched...

And you jeans might be an older batch made without the inner patch, mr.invincible. They only seem to be found on jeans made in the last couple of years or so, as far as I know.

I dont like it. Its only on newer made jeans over the last 2-3 years.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah the black selvage on the current run is a big minus in my eyes. ok it's pretty unique but ugly

[the_ming]

fit is like mine after 2 hot soaks. is it a tripple cuff? what's the inseam on yours right now?

the inseam is slightly less than 34" from a tagged 35" (forgot to measure pre-wash) so i'm concerned that there's a good deal more shrinkage to go on the inseam.

it's a double-cuff, i think (edge flipped up and then rolled over, and then rolled over again)

The fit's very good...i have to do a double take every time I see that black selvage though as my brain always tells me that it's stitched...

yeah, me too. although i don't think the selvedge looks as nice as others i have seen, i wonder how it will age (i.e. as the denim fades it may look better.)

that's a big part of why i want to figure out the shrinkage left, though, as i am considering hemming them close to my actual inseam and not cuffing them at all, but that's a dangerous gamble at this point if i might lose another 2 inches in inseam to shrinkage.

maybe another hot wash and dry is in order, from what i have read on this thread i won't lose much indigo if i do that.

[CrashTestBrummie]

I'd leave them as they are, and see how you get on with them...I kept the inseam of mine at 34" but that was through stretching when damp....No.1 denim seems to be pretty unpredictable and last thing you want is to hem, and then end up wearing No.1 capri-style...

[chambo2008]

was gonna bid but.... nevermind

any info of this? dose not look evis

[Paulo]

any info of this?

Thanks for that

[beautiful_FrEaK]

someone blow the spot?!

[Paulo]

All the time! I think we should have a no ebay links rule!

[chambo2008]

you sure its gonna fit you anyway?

[Paulo]

you sure its gonna fit you anyway?

It should fit me perfectly. At worst if it doesn't my girlfriend really likes the look of it as well. Though im sure it will and imma wear the crap out of it all summer.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah, sometimes I think the same...the people who really want it don't need a link on Sufu.

[chambo2008]

maybe you should pm me next time, i was just asking about fake or not before bidding but like i said i'll leave it to you

[Paulo]

Did someone on here win these in the end then?

[chambo2008]

saw them, but too big funny enough thought of you or ctb

[Paulo]

CBT lost them in the last 5 seconds. Wondering if someone here got them.

[chambo2008]

thats the only time you should bid tbh

[CrashTestBrummie]

CBT lost them in the last 5 seconds. Wondering if someone here got them.

I wasn't gonna go any higher, even though the pics the seller sent me were very tempting...the jeans had the 'Evis Industries' brace buttons, and were in near deadstock condition. Nice jeans, but nothing better than what I've got already...

I took delivery today of a pair of deadstock 80s adidas OG trainers, so I'm happy

I think we should have a no ebay links rule!

+1.

I know it's a nause for people who want authenticity checks and that, but it's a fucker when summat pops up that you've been after for ages, or you spend some time looking for rare shite, and then it gets broadcast to an international audience (ok, mebbe a little melodramatic, but you get my point)...

[marvelous1200]

Or just wait till the auction had ended. I just enjoy seeing what's out there even though i'm not really shopping for anything. I can respect the no links rule though.

[devilva]

Yeah I think a no ebay rule should be put up, especially for you UK guys. So much Evis/Evisu coming out of there. Australia has pretty much none except what is avaliable internationally.

[CrashTestBrummie]

There seems to be a lot of Evis, deadstock or otherwise, surfacing at the moment...think it's all from when a few select boutiques and other shops imported small amounts of stock from Japan, for those in the know, and before Evisu International...

Good stuff, the only downside being that the tabs seem to have been cut off at the time to avoid the usual complications...

[devilva]

My first pair of Evis came in today thanks to sutocorp. I really wanted this pair as they didnt have too much fading and the gulls were still in pretty good condition. As CTB has told me these are Lot 2501XX which apparently is the original lot number for the now 2001's. They had some pretty heavy creases when I got them I suppose because they had been folded and put away for a very long time so im going to try and loosen them up.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Gotta spread...

They look great, seriously...you gotta be pretty made up with them, no?

[Flash]

nice pickup ive been keeping my eye out for some 2504's

[CrashTestBrummie]

I think 2501s and 2504s are the only (he says) pairs that I'd seriously bust my wallet for, at the moment...
