Evisu is still loved!

FUck!!! Yahoo Japan only goes up to size 36!!!

However anything 36+ is listed in the same category.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Those 2501s are the business, man...

Those 2501s are the business, man...

I need a No. 1 2001 or 2000 in a size 38x37. I need the waist to shrink to like a 36 and stretch to a 37/38. Plus I'd like a 35 inseam after soaked.

Picky I know.

[Paulo]

Buy from evisu (jp) direct if its just standard made in japan you want. To be honest the only interest i have and any real use for yahoo auctions is the rare stuff like the things i posted above.

I sooo want to buy them too however i am not sure (well i am sure) that they arent worth the price hes asking. So for now i shall remain without a nice Evis red tab.

What did you get then? Pics?

[mr.invincible]

I got evisu no.1 2000

i will take pre and post pics.

sized true to waist. I will endure the pain for beauty.

i tried these on raw state and the waist fits perfectly. this shit will hurt haha.

here are some presoak fit pics before i decide how i should soak these. i don't know if i should soak these in cold or hot water.

i got this same jacket almost two years ago and it's nice - don't think i've seen another one since, shrinks a lot just like the jeans but xxl is stil a fairly good size. denim is real nice, heritage #1 special.

seller is 0 feedback though...............

don't sleep!

^ I think it is fake. There are no pictures of the selvedge line, and I don't think there is lining behind the tab on any of the evisu jackets.

[mr.invincible]

^ what are the lengths do you have to go to to get all the shrinkage out?

[CrashTestBrummie]

^ what are the lengths do you have to go to to get all the shrinkage out?

Three, four, maybe five washes?

[marvelous1200]

well it's possible that this is a fake since the seller didn't post pics of the selvedge, and he is a 0 feedback seller, but in the photos it's identical to mine and mine has all the details that matched up with the #1 special jeans from that season, and both are legit. but you know, whatevs, do whatcha want, it's a go from me though.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Difficult to say for sure from pics etc, but I'm inclined to think it's genuine too...

[mr.invincible]

Three, four, maybe five washes?

hmm.i want to take out all of the initial shrinkage before wearing it.

[marvelous1200]

hey crash, i just sent you a pm, hope you can help me out. thanks

[CrashTestBrummie]

hmm.i want to take out all of the initial shrinkage before wearing it.

Give them a proper hot soak to get the initial shrinkage out and wear the jeans when wet...after that, keep the initial washes on a low temperature so you can manage any further shrinkage...and keep an eye on the inseam if you have long legs!

[mr.invincible]

thanks, im giving them a 2nd hot wash but this time im putting it in the dryer for a short spin

[CrashTestBrummie]

Skip the dryer, seriously...

[marvelous1200]

Skip the dryer, seriously...

Yeah, the dryer will really soften them up. might be comfy, but if you're looking for fades won't really help you. if you don't care then go for it. Just make sure to take them out of the washer before the spin cycle, unless you want crazy wash machine fades!

[CrashTestBrummie]

Also, and shrinkage done in the dryer will be permanent...at least you can stretch damp denim...

[mr.invincible]

what can the dryer to the fades exactly?

and what if it's done only in the initial process? after the 2nd wash, i think i need to get it thigh a little smaller.

[edmond]

no! dont use dryer.. just soak em in hot water not so hot cause evisu patches are crap theyll get burned and crack and shrink and peel off..

so just soak em for 45 mins in hot water and let them hand dry inside out from my experience this is more or less theyre final shrinkage size

[mr.invincible]

^ how can the dryer effect the overall jean experience?

like, you mentioned about the fades, or etc.etc.

[edmond]

i dont know i dont use it just dont use it if you want to use it then up to you

I picked up an Evisu vest yesterday that should be here in a couple of days...wanted something to wear on holiday

was it this one? http://item.rakuten.co.jp/super-rag/evisu-eocs-19007/

ive been wanting this so bad for too long, too bad i couldnt find it while in japan, a month ago.

[bunga]

seconded, put in some time and effort and do it the old-fashioned way (ie with hands) and you'll be rewarded.

Skip the dryer, seriously...

Sadly not, I'd be pretty happy if I'd picked that up on eBay!

I think my meaning got lost in translation, I believe our 'vest' is an American sleeveless 'undershirt'...it arrived today and is possibly a little too tight-fitting for my tastes...definitely one for the beach on holiday but maybe not when walking round urban Birmingham haha!

I also managed to pick up (thanks to a timely heads up from Paulo, cheers man!) a rather old Evis B15B jacket...Pics are lifted from the listing:

[mr.invincible]

my water is not hot enough. should i boil some water but leave the waist not submered in water to get all the shrinakge out?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Does inseam length matter at all?
