Evisu is still loved!

[CrashTestBrummie]

just want some a general sizing advice. If I were to buy size no.1 and I wear a size 29 in FH_3001(true Waist), 28 in SC_Okinawas(downsize 1), 27 in Sams_S0500xx (Lot.10 if that matters?) you guys think a size 29 will work for me in the no.1? I want it to be a tad slim.

A 29 would indeed be a tad slim (!) but might be a step too far if you're likely to need to make any sudden movements whilst wearing the jeans...

Just something to be aware of. If you don't get too active in your jeans then you might be able to get away with a 29 with careful soaking and stretching (like VERY careful). You're potentially fucked though if the jeans come smaller than tagged size pre-soak, as mine did.

^ chambo i have no idea what you just said ROFL

so you got a size 28 in the BKS and it fits perfectly like the evis no.1 size 30? if that is the case, then a size 29 in Evisu no.1 is right for me then since I had to get a size 27 in 0500xx. but then again, your 5000bk and 0500xx are different cuts.

hey CTB, I am pretty active in my jeans. I ride my bike to school everyday. then is 29 too dangerous?

[chambo2008]

lol the 0500xx fit really good aswell only the rise hurts sometimes lol

Well...I wear between a 31 and a 33, depending on how much cake I've eaten that particular week (sad, but very true! ).

I got a 34, with a view to them shrinking to around 32 after the soak. Although mine arrived tagged 34, the actual pre-soak waist was 32 which was obviously going to cause an issue.

I had to soak them with the waist held open by a grill pan (!) which I tied into the waist band to keep in place, and then hung them by the leg to stretch out the inseams as short legs are no use to me:

Ended up with a great fit, but very tight on the waist and pretty uncomfortable at first:

Had to be really careful the first few times I washed them, as I didn't want to end up with castration issues following any further shrinkage...Plus I had to get the crotch reinforced as it was taking a heavy beating from riding.

They fit great now, so maybe going true to size is an idea as long as you're prepared to keep a close eye on them when soaking and washing them initially...Posted these fit pics recently, but figured that it wouldn't hurt to put them up again to show the evo from above:

fit and fading on those is awesome man

[mr.invincible]

i think if i do happen to get the no.1 im going to take the plunge and just go for a size 29 and just did what you did and keep the waist stretched at all times.

[CrashTestBrummie]

We expect pics pre- and post-soak, of course

On a different note, I have a parcel to collect tomorrow, and I'm hoping it's what I think it is...

[chambo2008]

lee repro's?????????

[CrashTestBrummie]

I reckon so...not expecting anything else...

Be interesting to compare the denim and fit with the 2101s...

[chambo2008]

you paying for those?

[CrashTestBrummie]

you paying for those?

I've got them on a similar basis to the jeans that they gave Cheep, if I understand things correctly...

[chambo2008]

nice!!! just give them back when worn in....

last time i spoke to someone at savile row they said each staff member was given £5000 for staff uniform

[CrashTestBrummie]

I think that was the manager's allowance...I believe the staff allowance is less, but still very generous.

[chambo2008]

still very good not sure what they pay though..

[__3xL]

kinda dissapointed none of you made big fun of my toe fade .

[chambo2008]

so sad had those jeans untill the last sec, 34 dollars was gonna be.

^ Aren't those the Italy Made Evisu's?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Finally...

Evolution of the label and the back pocket design, comparing Lee Japan 101Z 52, Evis 'Cowboy' Lot 2101, and Evisu 'Lazy S' Lot 0005:

And the fit:

Comparison with Lot 2101 fit:

And with Lot 0005 mizuhiki jeans:

[ILHE1S]

^ Those Lazy S Evisu's look good in that Triple 05 cut. I still wish the 200 cut had a longer inseam. The denim has a beautiful purple hue to it. See it Crash.

Yeah, they look good alright.

And the hue changes from purple to grey, depending on the light that falls on the denim.

Really impressed...a handsome pair of jeans...

[slowdownarthur]

handsome indeed, Crash, that denim looks gorgeous mate.

Look forward to some close ups on the purple/grey tones.

I'll see what I can do when there's a bit more natural light...photography's not my forte though...

[Guest devil.beside.you]

Yeah, the pics don't do the denim justice...

They have a real unique look to them when worn, I really enjoy wearing these are they're something a little different, and the denim itself is a rarity - you won't find much in the way of broken twill selvage denim, and not in this colour...

This is why I jumped on them when I got the chance, as they're something totally different...

which pair is this again? Love the unique hue..reminds me of a hawaiis but less rough

[Amaterasu]

CTB I'm jealous, I'm probably gonna get those at some point as well!

They look good btw, what size are they? 'Cause the inseam doesn't seem to be all that long.

[salaami]

a-ight crash, stop playin games and get back into those evis! you've got a job to do...

[heflys]

Well, Crash is about 6'1-'2, and the inseam is about 35'. Plus, he has them cuffed a little.

Ah that explains it.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Thanks for the comments and rep fellas...

They're the green caste broken twill denim from a couple of years ago, like the Brown Box Wrangler tribute/repros...I'm also wearing them in the bottom fit pic on my post a page back...They're in the 0005 cut, which is the same as the Lazy S Leepros I just got.

CTB I'm jealous, I'm probably gonna get those at some point as well!

Cheers! They're a 32, although 0005 is slightly oversized and they measure just over 33 at the moment...and Heflys almost got my height right (I'm bang on six foot, by the way) but with long legs.

a-ight crash, stop playin games and get back into those evis! you've got a job to do...

Ahahaha! You KNOW the Evis are getting my full attention at the moment...Always good to have back-up jeans though, as if I wore the Evis most days they'd get very stinky, very quickly from all the wear they'd be getting...
