Evisu is still loved!

How susceptible to stretch is the 2001 #1?

I think that the redline No1 stretches a fair bit. Mine have in the waist as most jeans, but I find the fit everywhere else so loose that stretch isn't really required.

How is the 1999 fit?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Lovely catch, Dan. I came that close to picking up a pair when Evisu Japan had them but decided against it as I was happy with my No.1s...not sure if I'd pass them by again these days, though.

"Private Stock for maniacs" is one of the best brand tag phrases I have ever read.

QFT, although the random apostrophe in "Maniac's" [sic] always fucked me off

Yeh I'm really pleased and like you say I doubt you'd pass that one up again crash!

The 1999 fit from what I can't tell in the little time I've just tried them on quickly is a good one. Feels similar to my 2000's but haven't really had them on for very long. I read somewhere that 1999 is supposedly somewhere in the middle of 2000 and 2001....I think in this thread somewhere.

They will stay raw for a while yet my 2005's are being loved at the moment......and I don't mind having some "raw deadstock 0's" in the denim collection if ya catch my drift

Does anyone know the oz weight of this denim?

I think its the same as No.1/No.2.. 14.5oz

[ah_long]

just a heads up, not sure if this applies to all Evisu stores in Japan, but I was @ the Ueno store today and there's 50% off all ladies items, 50% off all made in china men's items, 30% off all jeans including MIJ No.1 & No.2

they also added a green color to the custom paint option.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Do they have all sizes for the No.1s? Does it also apply to the webstore? Last time the webstore showed sizes that were already out-of stock

when I'm really rich, I gonna put together a collection of #2000 No.1s with all available colors

[ah_long]

the ueno store has size 31~35 in both 2000 and 2001, they probably have more than that though..

I've been wanting to get a pair of No.1 after I sold mine a while back, picked up a pair of No.1 Lot. 2000.. works out to be a lot cheaper than what I've paid last time, not to mention the better exchange rate

And what will happen to all the other unworn pairs you've got?

[Warakia]

I just checked the webstore and it also applies there, No.2 2000 is sold out but No.1 2000 is available from sizes 32 and up.

[ah_long]

I just realized the No.1 that I sold was more special than the one I got..

the pair I got in 2010 has the japanese tab and gold selvedge

Couldn't resist, ordered myself a pair of No.2's. 15750 yen after delivery, not bad.

[dant87]

Hahum Evisu porn.

#2 #1 #0

Now I'm off to check that sale...mwuhhahaha

[ah_long]

got my gf a pair, 50% off all Ladies stuff, including MIJ jeans. Got her a pair with the embroidered gull, I think it's the Evisu Donna #2000 or something like that. The denim is really nice, it has a nice texture and it's pretty hairy for evisu.

[jockstick]

Ok, I've been reading this thread for like an hour now. Still can't figure out:

1) Where to buy No.1 and No.2 in North America (Rakuten is the only place I've found so far)

2) Where to find measurements for the 2000 and 2001 cuts.

Any help would be much appreciated!

where??

[Warakia]

Evisu.jp , I got it delivered to my friend his address in Japan though. If you can't read Japanese and have an address there you could use a proxy service.

[ironheartfan123]

I bought a pair of no 2 on ebay last year after surfing for a few weeks for $80 brand new; you have to know what to look for though as there are a lot of fakes; maybe I got lucky

[1fookntitefd]

Is there anywhere in Shanghai, Taiwan, or Hong Kong I can go to buy a pair of MIJ No. 1 denim?

[ah_long]

I think take 5 in hong kong might be carrying.. but not sure

[Sugar Mountain]

Last thing I saw on Benny's blog was a picture of him and Yamane together in HK plotting collaboration. I think they are gonna use the Yamane tag to get around Evisu international's rights in the territory.

[1fookntitefd]

So the only place I can get No. 1's is in Japan?

[jockstick]

Any links to recommended proxy services? Also, any measurement guides?

[devilva]

Jockstick, a lot of us use Suto for our proxy. I think they charge 8% of the total cost.

Sizing wise... have a look at CTB's pic's of his 2000's and 2001's. The 2001's look slightly wider in the leg and a little more hip flare. The No.1 denim obviously shrinks a lot more than the No.2 denim. Everyone has their own take on sizing (people want different fits) but I would go true to size for No.2 denim and size up 2 for No.1 denim.
