Evisu is still loved!

[heflys]

The waist is slightly bigger (an inch). But no where near the craziness of the 2005 version.

Might wanna email them for exact sizing.

I'd get em. LOL. The fit is probably good, if the pics of the 2008 are any indication. You better hurry though, they appear to be selling. No telling when they'll do this again.

Thats what they finished at... with only a 32 leg raw in No.1 denim I didnt think they would be that popular. Oh well, must be a lot of short ass's in Japan

You are lucky you didn't bid further and stopped on 14,000 yen as your highest bid.

The actual inseam of the jeans was 73cm (股下７３ｃï½).

You would end up buying a pair of shorts

still rigid and barely worn:

just a hint of the old tab

just the slightest hint of fading on the arm

and a shade too small for me...again...

[Maynard Friedman]

Great jacket there CTB, shame about the sizing.

[killerb3ar]

Anyone know where I may be able to source a top button fly for a pair of lot 2000 No. 1's?

Thanks in advance!

[devilva]

Ben is this one of the 2 jackets you bought from Ebay or another one?

heflys thanks for the info mate, im not sure whether to size up 1 or not just so the leg isnt so skinny. It says the 2008 is a straight cut but going off whatever fit pics are about it looks like a skinny straight. Not the biggest fan of slim jeans but maybe they wont be so bad. Hard to tell since not many peps have 2008's.

one of the two...fits fine in the shoulder and arm but not the best elsewhere, although a soak might sort that out. i'll probably re-list it in its dry condition rather than soak it and find out it's still not good.

short of contacting evisu japan, your only real bet would be to look for crappy old pairs on ebay and the like...

[cool_hand]

evisu japan won't export - i asked them recently - have to use a proxy

[Warakia]

Shouldn't be that hard to find a Japan member who could swing by I reckon?

[blasterofair]

i received the pair of mij evisu i won on ebay today. black and yellow selvage. the back of the rivets say "YAMANE" in bold letters instead of the japanese characters that are on my current pair. compared to my red selvage 2000s, the denim feels stiffer and more greencast. they didnt shrink much even though i put them through a hot wash, so i'm thinking they might be no2 denim?

my tagged size 33 have a leg opening of 8 inches, but the rise on them feels higher than my size 36 2000 no1s...i really cant tell if they are 2000 or 2001 cut.

will post fitpics once they're dry.

oh and the previous owner had forgotten a crumpled 20$ bill in his back left pocket...that means i got the jeans for pretty much 80$ plus shipping. score!

[Flash]

Nice one mate , looking forward to the pics

[blm14]

I still haven't decided if I am going to forgive evisu for liquidating their US market. Now we have to pay penalties for currency fluctuation (stupid weak dollar), and last time I checked evisu international still charged us 17% vat, plus obscene EMS shipping. Grrrrrrrrrr

[CrashTestBrummie]

hate to break it to you, but vat is now at 20% here...

[blasterofair]

a few pics, as promised.

tiger selvage, and the beautiful chainstitch

denim and rivet details

missing rivet on the left pocket...whatevs

crappy fit pic. really liking the baggy fit, especially since the leg opening isnt too big.

these jeans are gonna be my skate/work/whatever jeans from now on. hopefully i'll have some good evo pics to show you guys in a couple of months!

[anklspr]

^ awesome, dude. great pickup!

No VAT, but $27 for shipping. Plus, there's the possibility customs might charge you a fee, since Evisu wants to use Fed EX or DHL. Some stores mark items as gifts or pay the customs fees.

[coleslawyum]

evisu lot 2000 no. 1. Worn on and off since 2008. I love the denim, but the fit sure is strange. over the years, the waist has shrunk down to 36"(they started as a 40), but the legs and hip flare stays the same.

Comparison with a brand new pair from 2010.

[CrashTestBrummie]

great jeans...how are those 2006s coming along?

[coleslawyum]

Thanks crash. I hardly wear them because i hardly wear braces. but once in awhile when i don't feel like rocking a belt.

[CrashTestBrummie]

i've yet to wear braces with denim (i often do with a suit if the occasion is formal, though) but i recently came across a few pairs of decent, old button braces at a car boot sale and snapped them up.

really should give them a whirl, i suppose...

[aho]

coleslaw, you have some of my all time favorite worn in pairs, good stuff!

[coleslawyum]

Thanks! Its difficult when I have so many favorite pairs I want to break in. Evisu definitely is always in rotation though.

[aho]

^i'd say you're doing your pairs justice....clearly not afraid to wear/treat your jeans like jeans and we seem to be on the same wavelength as far as cuts and general aesthetics...thanks for keeping it real in a time when sufu isn't giving much to come back for!

nice work on the no.3s, and looking forward to seeing the progress on the yamanes...

[CrashTestBrummie]

one of the funnier ebay auction descriptions i've seen for some time...

[heflys]

100 pounds for a "custom" made shirt that evisu likely "custom" made a 100+ times?

Awesome! I'll be more impressed if someone actually bids on that.

[devilva]

ahah Cost £390 the fish must be made of gold

[CrashTestBrummie]

the seller will've got away with daylight robbery if anyone buys that off him

[heflys]

They probably will. If the success of high-priced fakes is any indication.

I came across these faded No. 3's a while back; not sure if anyone has seen em before:
