Evisu is still loved!

If you're chasing the dragon, it may just do that!

I think they're genuine Evisu Japan No.3 denim (non-selvage, made in China) that have had a Mij tag added in the wrong place. And been badly hemmed

i'd be fucking wounded if i found that out after dropping a couple of hundred quid on them, though...

[cheapmuthafukr]

look like fakes to me... that evis tag is all wrong.

[brightbill]

i'd like those "hand dyed yamane" jeans if they were sixty bucks or so from j crew

[coleslawyum]

I think the back pocket bar tacks are the dead giveaway. well other than the tiny pocket embroidery, hell the whole pair looks like shit.

[devilva]

I dont mind some of the T-Shirts on the Evisu International site but the denim coming out just isnt appealling at all. Would love to see some more interesting stuff come out like the Brown Box and Lazy S models. Even if they were re-released i'd happily get both. Too many models like those year of the dragon's coming out and not enough classic's. Aside from maybe being used as a display... who would wear them lol.

[Warakia]

I've been popping into Evisu stores quite frequently lately because there's so many around here, and I have to agree. In terms of denims used it's all No.3, No.4 and the very rare No.2. I mean if all you want is a pair of gulls in a (wild) colour you're good but apart from that, nothing appealing really. Same goes for the clothes, most of the sweaters and jackets are over-designed and awkward looking. The t-shirts are still good though.

[heflys]

Shit is ugly.....Possibly worse than before even.

[jyoni]

Is the international #2 still the d85? It's a shame it's not more prevalent on sufu. It seemed like it was Evisu's bread-and-butter fabric for a good while. I recall cheap offering some insight into the d85 evo, not much else from others though.

[heflys]

From what I understand, they still make d85. It's called No.3 now.

[CrashTestBrummie]

yeah, the evisu international no.3 denim is d85. never a major fan of it myself; it always seemed a little too 'grey' for my liking.

normally easy to find on ebay.

[Warakia]

The current No. 2 0005's I'm wearing is d251 (fairly certain, don't have the tags on me atm) which is very deep blue and gets these electrical blue fades. 3 months in at the moment so give me some more time and I'll share some more insight.

[devilva]

I have some d85's that im wearing for work at the moment, not too much going on but will post some pics when they start too fade a bit more (7 month mark). Cant say im too impressed with the denim but for the price I find that its quite a bargain when you weight everything up.

This was a pic at the 6month mark.. some fading starting to come through. Really not much progress from here but the battle continues..

[syntax27]

Where can I find a pair of the classic straight painted kamone from? The lower rise straight fit. Other than the international site?

[Warakia]

Ebay usually has some stuff floating around. I'm guessing you mean the 0001 model?

[I.T.]

Does anyone know if there are any online stores within EU area, that sell Evisu no.2s or no.1s. All i find is some ugly ass multicolored Genes versions. I'd really like a simple pair without gulls or maybe with the very basic white gulls.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the real made in japan no.1 and no.2 are only available in japan afaik. big used to carry those but tehy are all gone i believe.

oh and take5 sells them...

[blasterofair]

I've been putting in work on my 2000 no1s lately. Goddamn I love these pants. The inseam stitching is starting to come undone in the crotch area (as it always fucking does) but I realized that the evisu are reinforced with an additional regular stitch. Fucking brilliant. Why aren't there any other brands doing this?

Will post some pics when they start showing real wear/when i feel like it.

Oh and if anyone has size 33-34 MIJ evisus for sale, get at me.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

could you please show a picture of thet "extra" stitching? you're not talking about the bartack at the crotch, do you?

[adrianghaust]

What do you guys think about this? http://international...fit-jeans-black

Went to Boxpark and tried my usual size, 32. Love the fit but skeptical about denim and hardware quality.

Read a lot more about Evisu International vs Evisu JP. The pair above aren't the original Evisu(JP).

They are made of D337 denim made specially for Evisu International, started to produce this denim type since few years back. These are for sure assembled in China.

I can't find pictures of D337 denim fade, so if anyone here has some pictures of D337 fade, be sure to post them up, thanks.

To sum up a few things I know about from online researching (correct me if I'm wrong):

1) No. 3 Evisu JP is that they aren't selvage

2) No. 3 Evisu International has 2 type of denim. Either the D85 or the D337

So I bought this 20th Anniversary pair today on eBay, kinda on a whim.

Look forward to having something to wear other than my APCs. First pair of Evisu's for me as well, so doubly excited:
