Evisu is still loved!

[jlaz93]

I saw them and kinda thought they were fake, but i just wanted to see if anyone could tell because if they were going to go for a very cheap price then why not. I should have looked into it more.

[mr.invincible]

if its cheap then ditched it.

just fork up and pay the MIJ. you wont regret it.

@marvelous - my no2s shrink only very minimally with each wash and have stretched back out to the "normal" size within a day or two each time.

[Warakia]

^ I got some shrinkage in the inseam, but the rest pretty much stretched back to presoak, maybe just a tad under.

Hey guys,

Anyone know anything about these I've never seen this pocket design before.

[CrashTestBrummie]

The cut is the Heritage 0331 cut, a reasonably slim fit. The patch and gulls date the jeans, if genuine, to around 3-5 years old I think.

CTB, thanks for the info!

Not a bad afternoon on eBay, two wins:

Thoughts? First pair could be a great score if it fits (my other No.2's are 27 and 28)... not sure if second pair is selvage, and the patch placement is odd, but, either way, I should at least be able to break even by re-selling, if nothing else.

[cheapmuthafukr]

looks like 2 pair of fake evisu to me.

[brightbill]

huh. what indications?

[CrashTestBrummie]

The patch on the ones with red gulls is definitely wrong.

The other pair may well be a 90s made in Italy pair...

[cheapmuthafukr]

everything about the second pair is wrong... they dont even look like real evisu. the first pair, the lack of crotch rivet and the patch make me think fake, or a non japanese or heritage pair. could be eued... but why would you want those?

[cheapmuthafukr]

the second pair doesnt even have the things that the fakes at the flea market have... crotch rivet, offset belt loops, proper stitching colors... and the patch looks like suede.

[Paulo]

Not all japanese Evisu have crotch rivets.

Edit:

Looking at the links the first one are real and made in italy in the 90's. Second pair are really poor fakes that plagued the UK market for a long time.

[cheapmuthafukr]

which ones dont have them?

[Paulo]

which ones dont have them?

Lots of them. Most recent ones ive seen are a LOT 2000z.

[brightbill]

ha, sometimes the crotch (and pocket) rivets fall off

ah well, that belt loop shoulda been indication enough for the red gull pair. what's the saying about something being too good to be true? also, consult with the experts first, not after the fact.

Now those are interesting!

[CrashTestBrummie]

Ha!

Not looked on there for aaaaaages...

[Paulo]

Im pretty sure they are real as well.

[brightbill]

but it says imitation right there on the tag!

ha, i kid, there's a similar pair on ebay UK as well. both look pretty amazing.

[CrashTestBrummie]

^The hemming on those jeans is bollocks, really nasty. Overpriced, for what they are.

I bought off that seller at the end of 2008, and seem to remember that they still owe me a refund of postage costs for not sending my stuff till long after the auction ended...

[CrashTestBrummie]

I really should be more careful when walking past baths full of near-boiling water whilst carrying raw denim...tut...

[coleslawyum]

Hilarious! That's exactly what I'm doing right now. Except I'm boiling some Sammys. I almost burnt myself as well.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Happy New Jeans Day!

[blm14]

BEN WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU FIND NUMBER 1 SPECIAL NATURALS!?

Fuck I want a pair of those so badly.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Yahoo Japan, a while ago...been keeping them to one side for a day like this
