Evisu is still loved!

Evis Lot 2101, with a little decorating mess on them:

[Flash]

thats not paint ........is it?

[ethandesu]

Hey all,

More an interest check than anything else, but I thought the Evis fans should get first dibs. I'm thinking of letting go of my WWII model pleat front jacket. Was my everyday wearer when I worked in he Daikanyama store, and the white penki was painted by my friend and tenchyo "Ono". No 1 denim, washed and tumble dried and worn for about a year fairly solidly. Size 40.

Was thinking US$375 would be enough for me to part with it. Shipping from Sydney, Australia.

desu

Paint dust, matey...I'll give them a wash once done, and see how they turn out...

Ethan, nice jacket - you may well find that you can get more for it on eBay as compared to what people will be willing to pay on here. That includes fees, too - there's a good market for old and new denim in South East Asia so make sure you list it appropriately...Sold a pair of 2000s and a pair of 21oz Sammies (both slightly worn) for almost £400 in total...

[apdz]

hey nemoulette, were those 2001? howd you size on them?

[CrashTestBrummie]

The 2101s came out alright in the wash...I'll get some more pics up when I've time...

[CrashTestBrummie]

And Lot 2000 at the two-year mark...

[devilva]

Nice dedication mate. Can see the faintest mark of a pair of gulls. They look like they've been through a lot.

[s3lam]

Just put my 2000 no.1's through its 3rd wash

more pics to follow

[s3lam]

Warning....picture overload =)

7 times out of 10 i find my evisu are like this... its like they are trying to tell me something.

[Noodle36]

Has Evisu ever made a striped (hickory striped or larger) denim? the reason I am asking is there was a company on EBAY selling a couple pair of striped jeans awhile back. I think the pockets were regular indigo, with red and yellow paint?

It's a sign that we need to work together on that denim issue we discussed yesterday...

I'm certain both the International and Japanese line have done it, and I can remember seeing the ones on eBay around two years ago...

Nice jeans, s3lam btw... fit pics?

[nemoulette]

I know I posted these only a couple of weeks back but have some fun photos to share. Honoring my tradition of wearing my jeans in the wilderness (My Edwin Leepros in the Peruvian jungle, and my Ooe's in the arctic), I treated my Evisus to a hike in the alps.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Nice jeans, again...can't rep you so soon after your post in the Leepro thread...you can definitely see how the hues of worn No.2 denim so often looks different from those of the No.1 denim, at least in my experience...

The jeans are tabless, right? Did you buy them like that?

[nemoulette]

They're tabless, but I think they might come from BiG, because the tab seems to have been removed. Bought them second-hand.

[CrashTestBrummie]

BiG never sold them with painted gulls, as far as I'm aware...good call, anyway!

[chambo2008]

yea they did but not hand painted

[s3lam]

Here are the fit pics CTB. Taken at night inside the house, not the best but oh well. =)

[devilva]

They're coming along nicely.

Coming back to the 2101's I ended up grabbing flash's pair. Wish I didnt end up with the other pair I have but you just dont see many coming through so I grabbed them when I could. Anyone know why the evisu website doesnt sell them? Anyway I took some comparison shots, both are the same size but the worn in pair has gone through all its shrinkage.

Old pair :

New Pair :

[chambo2008]

whats the measurements of the old pair?

[devilva]

Waist : 14.25

Front Rise : 11.75

Back Rise : 14.75

Upper Thigh : 11.25

Knee : 8.75

Leg Opening : 7.5

Compared to :

Waist : 16

Front Rise : 12

Back Rise : 15.25

Upper Thigh : 11.75

Knee : 9.25

Leg Opening : 8

Pretty big difference considering its the same size and both pairs have been at least hot soaked, not sure if flash washed or dried them. Baggier cuts are my thing anyway so im happy at least. The lazy S's are pretty different styles aswell.

[chambo2008]

yea big difference i know the pair you bought from flash the inseam is 31 what about the old pair?

I don't think they've made a Japanese market Leepro since the 90s, or thereabouts, which is why you have to really search for them.

As for shrinkage, the denim is sanforised so it should be minimal - although mine seemed to shrink slightly in the body of the leg, any waist shrinkage soon stretched out.

Your earlier pair fits more like mine does, but I prefer the looser cut, too.

And cheers for the pics, s3lam...repped...

[Yin]

Mine fits like your new pair, kinda baggy(for superfuture standard), i wish mine fit like your first pic tho.....maybe i need a hot wash....

[CrashTestBrummie]

devilva, if you're feeling the looser cuts then you need to try and source a pair of 2113s or similar...

[devilva]

Yea CTB I know your pair, they look awesome. Wouldnt mind a pair myself but to be honest dont think ive ever come across that lot number while looking at the auctions. And thanks for the info on the 2101's. Been wondering for awhile why they dont have sell them even though they are advertised in the Evisu magazines.

And chambo they are a little over 32 in the leg. Dont know why but it seems asif this pair has shrunk right down, im guessing the original leg was 35.

[CrashTestBrummie]

They seem to be harder to find than even the 2101 Leepros, which are rare as fuck...I'll see if I can get some pics up of them later - the fades on them are proper subtle though, thanks in part to the cut...

[CrashTestBrummie]

Fuck knows why I've been rattling on about Lot 2113, as they're actually Lot 2111...must be getting into my dotage a little earlier than planned...

Paulo and I are heading down Evisu's Savile Row store early on Saturday, if anyone's in London Town then.

Anyway, Lot 2111:

Worn since April, washed three or four time and taken a serious bashing on the bike...not going to be seeing any combs on these any time soon, if ever...

Trying to find a 1956 jacket but couldn't find my size......
