Evisu is still loved!

[mitchL]

I proxied them from evisu japan using Sharp Service. Ya I wanted plain pockets as well but they sent me these. Oh well I don't mind them, something that not many other people have I guess

[cmo]

Thanks guys.... Didn't realise they were in sale. I'm def getting them now. Will use Sharpservice but really don't want any arcs at all.

[mitchL]

I'm sure if you ask Hide, he will contact them and make sure that you get them with plain pockets.

Looking good CTB, least they are getting some wear time. Been wearing my Evis 2101's for the last 2 months or so. Seems the first sign of wear is always the damn mobile phone in the front pocket lol.

And yeah nows the time to stock pile any Evisu with those prices. Im grabbing 2 pairs myself and locking them away for awhile.

Nice CTB! mitchL - congrats on your purchase!

I'm wearing one of my favourite shirts today Sadly, partially hidden because the cold refuses to loosen its grip here...

I can't remember if I posted these here before (apologies if I did) - some pics from Tokyo. The store is amazing, a real test of willpower in not buying everything in sight!

One of the best parts about the store can't be bought though - it's sitting right in the entrance.

Any guesses?

[CrashTestBrummie]

I think I just had an attack of the vapours...

[the_ming]

i love that store. so psyched to be going there next week!

[devilva]

That looks like my idea of santas workshop Got to get over there some day.

Thats an old shuttle loom is it?

[mitchL]

[mr.invincible]

[bod]

Nice fit Mitch, redline selvage too I ordered plain pockets ages ago and they've only just been posted.

[mitchL]

Haha ya I'm 5'11, 165. Thanks, I like the fit but there is a bit of room in the thighs; I'm not sure whether to soak them again or not. hopefully they'll settle alright. Thanks guys, Another pair Freezie? did you get a 33 or 34?. I was surprised I got the red selvage line, I assumed they were still doing the silver and navy one.

[mr.invincible]

if that is your first soak it'll probably shrink more after a couple of hot washes for sure. But I don't think the thigh is too roomy. In fact, you should be thankful that shit is roomy.

[mitchL]

It's my first soak, do you think it'll shrink much more in the upcoming washes/soaks?

[bod]

+2 34, fucked around soaking the shit outta my last par and flogged em, can't wait for roomy thighs again

[bod]

It's my first soak, do you think it'll shrink much more in the upcoming washes/soaks?

Yes they will.

[mitchL]

haha ya the fit is quite nice, roomier upper block and a nice taper. Also,the denim is the nicest I've ever seen; when it was raw, the denim was so smooth and had somewhat of a vibrant indigo color to it. Then after the soak, The denim darkens a few shades, becomes rougher and turns quite fuzzy. Do you think I should soak them again to get some more shrinkage out of them?

[bod]

Going of your post soak measurements I'd leave it now and just wear, they look good.

[devilva]

Great fit mitchL. I personally wouldnt soak again, just wait for your first wash.

Funny that they only did 1 gull lol

[CrashTestBrummie]

Great fit mitchL. I personally wouldnt soak again, just wait for your first wash.

+1, there's bound to be further shrinkage but not worth washing/soaking the fuck outta the denim to get all the shrinkage out right now...

[mitchL]

Alright thanks for the help guys

[shanelong]

you wont regret the gull. looks nicer over time.

Need you guys help for my next pair of jeans. Had some Evisu 2000 no1 sz 34, liked the fit only the thigh made me look like I have some thunder thighs, waist was maybe .5-1'' too big but that wasn't really the problem, looks like the cut ''balloons'' up right after the waistband, anyone had this problem with the 2000 cut?

Would buy a sz 33 if I know for sure that they'll settles down after awhile but don't wanna spend $250-300 for them to fit like this again.

Any input? I need some new jeans asap.

[kit99bar]

Mitch, how much were those with shipping and sale price?

[mitchL]

I used SharpService Japan Proxy, they came out to 27,269 yen which converts to about 336$ USD/318$ CAD at todays exchange rate.

[cmo]

After the heads up here just ordered a pair through Sharpservice myself... Looking forward to it.

[mitchL]

congrats on your purchase, these jeans do not disappoint.

The classic Evisu cuts are well known for their initial hip flare - it'll die down after a while.

If you're happy with the waist on the 34s then I'd stick with them - the 33s will have the same silhouette, with just a smaller waist size...

[Knolok]

ok thanks ctb, appreciated, should of waited a bit before selling, will buy the sz 33 this time though, waist was a bit too big on the 34.
