Evisu is still loved!

[heflys]

Flea market........Damn shame.

[salaami]

the flea market is actually pretty damn dope...you can get shea butter, cotton candy, knock-off nikes/jordans, an old-school nintendo, pop-corn, senegalese incense, and a pair of ''evisu maniac genes''. top that!

but foreal, a dude at work was wearing a pair of lot(?)001 #2 heritage with the 'sunrise selvage'. we're cool enough that he let me check out the rivets, and they weren't washer rivets...they looked like some pre-molded shit. no tufts of cotton peeking or anything. i was dissapointed. were these fakes, or do the made in macau(per him) heritage have the cheaper rivets? he told me he washed them some shit of times, and how he loved how they held their color better than any jean he bought previously. they were still hella dark, although you could tell he machine- washed em at least a dozen times over two years.

[heflys]

All the pairs I've had, I've seen cotton peeking through. Also, all the rivets appear to copper. Hard to tell if they're fake without a pic.......Maybe the rivets rusted or something, particularly if he had them for two years.

[chambo2008]

at last... sent my kanbo's to a "tailor" near me gonna pick them up on thursday at 4pm. looking forward to wearing them for the summer they still have the crease's set from when i hot washed them. they are the hairest pair i own they almost look like jogging bottoms lol fit pic's on thursday!!!

I've got two pair of Evisu jeans bought in Sweden. Didn't even know there was Japan models and the rest of the world until a couple of months ago. Anyway, these pairs are exactly the same (well, they have different colored pocket embroidery), selvedge, fabric, stitching, fit, buttons and so on, except for the patch and rivets. Doesn't say anywhere where they are made but the second pair is my first truly broken in raw selvedge jeans. Washed them twice in 15 months and they are comfy as hell and look great.

First two pics are the same pair, a bit bigger rivets with tufts here and there. Pic three and four the other, later and more worn pair. Selvedge is as mentioned above same for both.

Don't know why they changed rivets but must say the bigger ones look cooler and more real. Haven't had any problems with the other ones though.

You know that we need to see pics of the denim in full now, dontcha?

The pair that I have on ice, Hotei Fan's, has copper rivets, but, unlike previous versions, you can see denim sticking out of the top of rivet.

The rivets and button are different on Heritage depending on whether they were manufactured in China and now Macau. Even now the rivets and button have changed again. My Leepro rivets said Osaka on them.

Here you go Ed…

Please excuse the Texas tuxedo.

I was hoping someone else would mention this - yes, on my Left vs. Right, and No.2 Black Kamome, the rivets say "Evisu & Co. Est. Osaka" on the reverse side....whereas on my Hotei Fan & Nakame Minami they're just blank. Another nice new touch.

nice. i believe that's called a "canadian tuxedo" however, lol.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Sweet pics, Coleslawyum...classic Evis fit...

I'm hoping to have some fit pics in a few days of another classic Evis cut...watch this space...

[chambo2008]

do tell.............

[CrashTestBrummie]

I'm hoping to have some Lot 2101 to show off in the very near future...

[matt72178]

I am going to buy a pair of Evisu from DJPremium.com, would you mind to tell which model of Evisu has similar cutting as the picture below?

Thanks~

I actually posted pics in November (you repped me, thanks) and I haven't worn them much since. But if the sun is shining and I'm high on coffee I might take some new ones someday.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Ah, THOSE ones?

Nonetheless, would be good to see some more pics

[selaviso]

true that pics never hurt.

Quoted for truth and emphasis.

I should get my 2001s back this week, freshly painted by the fragrant Hiroko

And I'm thinking of getting the 2000s redone as well, as there's next to nothing left now of the paint.

[coleslawyum]

^^^CTB, looking forward to your pics!

[kar0015]

anyone know if the left vs right jeans are still available?

they are gone from the evisu website

[Paulo]

Few new items for my collection.

[heflys]

They might be sold out.

[fastasleep]

There were supposed to be some pairs of R vs L heading to the US for sale in the North American online store....but if they've already sold out elsewhere, perhaps that's no longer an option.

You may want to try sending e-mails to the folks at Evisu in London and NYC to see if they could help you out - it's worked wonders for me in the past.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Sweet stuff, Paulo...loving the gull on the jumper

I just found out my Lot 2101 are currently in the Philippines (don't ask), so might be a while longer before I get my filthy mits on them

Here's a taster of them though, pure deadstock:

[Setone]

Damn!, CTB - That's coming your way, huh.

Is that green paint on the pockets?

Do you know what year were they released

You got some nice hook ups - can't wait for fit pics etc.

Yeah, green paint, and a big thumbs up to Paulo, who spotted them for me

I also managed to pick up a deadstock pair of Japan Lees from the early 90s this week, so been a left-handed few days! I'm supposed to be being sent some of the current Leepros on loan (bit like Cheep's pair), so it's certainly pouring and not raining

As for the year, well the description and translation run:

１０年以上前に購入後ずっと眠ったままです。 Buy's sleep after 10 long years ago.

So I'm assuming late 90s

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CrashTestBrummie again.

http://www.oki-ni.com/invt/ev0031ind just a heads up for left vs no 2

[salaami]

those evis are too much for me to process right now. they are ''pre-lazy S lazy S''once you get those i wonder how long you can hold-out before they become your next project. ..:rolleyes:dude @ work had the rivets and patch(#2 on it, same lot#) like the second pair dude posted(with the 'EVISU' rivets, not the japanese) i hate those. and look at how the 'evisu heritage' patch is better than the patch with the #2 on it(leather-wise). look @ the grain. now i honestly believe dudes evisu are real, cause i was able to recently check his sunrise-selvage, and its official. thanks dudes.
