Evisu is still loved!

[mr.invincible]

nope. I am pretty short. I am like 5'4 and i measured it and it's a 33inseam right now. i have to cuff it about 3 inches or so to minimize stacks.

i was expecting the thigh area to be smaller but right now i still have room. my first initial soak was with mild water for 30 minutes. the 2nd was short wash, hot water on delicate wash. and then third was short wash with hot water on delicate wash again but with a 30 minute dryer session. no improvements after the 2nd short wash.

maybe i should either do a FULL hot wash or ONE boil hot soak

I'd say you've done enough...

Just start wearing the things and get some creases put it...if the inseam's down to a 33 then I'd say you've got pretty much all the shrinkage done...

And pics please!

[mr.invincible]

^ man, it feels and looks like its still baggy in my eyes.

i don' t think i can exchange these for a size 28.

i like your fit ctb. i think i shouldve size down to a 28.

ill take fit pictures now

You could always get a bike and start riding...in six months, you'd have a pair of jeans that looked the business, AND you'd have no problems with the thighs feeling a little roomy

[mr.invincible]

^ that's what puzzles me, I ride my bike to school everyday at ucla and everybody knows that that shit isnt easy to ride, all hills.

what is wrong with my legs!!!

i am going to post the pics up in 5 minutes

[mr.invincible]

here are my sammies s0500xx, size 27. it looks flat, but i just gave them a wash. I don't wear these enough

my evisus now

check how much i am sucking the jeans up my ass.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Fit looks fine to me...you tend to get a bit of hip flare with them at the start...should sort itself out after some more wear...

[mr.invincible]

well if it looks like all the shrinkage is out, i gotta hem these!

but i feel like the shrinkage hasnt been all out yet. i have this spider feeling that that shit can shrink a bit more if i use the hottest water.

Go ahead and do it. It won't really hurt anything. Maybe the patch will be burnt to a crisp, but meh.......

[mr.invincible]

^ haha. i remember seeing the dirty dozen boil their jeans.

but i am going to just leave the waist not submerged in the water and just soak the rest.

[chambo2008]

fit looks fine to me they no1 yeh?

[Paulo]

You do know just because you shrink these now doesnt mean they wont relax in a couple weeks...

To me your getting to the point where your ruining the denim for no real reason. If you wanted a tight skinny jean then this isnt ever going to be it.

[ILHE1S]

Damn Mr. WTF are you doing to your jeans?

Didn't you get the 2001 fit? If so then it is what it is.

Don't put so much thought into where you're over thinking it.

[selaviso]

just toss em in the washer in hot water. if that dont work boil em.

Came across this article which details the process behind the deluxe denim

[mr.invincible]

^ these are the 2000s fit. and yes they are no.1 . Yea i understand the fit of these, but looking at the 29 measurements I thought these would fit similar to the my sammies s0500xx in a size 29.

these 2000s are tapered, no? the 2000's should be "slimmer" than the 20001, correct?

Paulo, can you explain, what do you mean by it wont relax in a couple weeks?

[heflys]

Paulo, can you explain, what do you mean by it wont relax in a couple weeks?

He means they'll stretch a little from continuous wear. But soaking them again, if you feel the fit is off, won't hurt anything. Indigo lose from soaking will be negligible.

[mr.invincible]

^ thanks. I think I am going to give them a hot soak later on this week and if it still doesnt fit to my liking, then I may sell it to get a size 28.

what fit is 2000 based on?

[edmond]

nothing its based on its original fit

[blm14]

Its Based On Itself. Meta-jean-meta-jean Design Concept.

[heflys]

what fit is 2000 based on?

I believe a Levi's 1966. Not too sure though.

[Paulo]

[chambo2008]

lol too much time on your hands!

[andrewexd]

Has anyone tried tapering evisu's ? I realize the fit is supposed to be what it is but I really would like a pair slimmer in the thighs (at least). I bought a pair of No.2 Lot 2000 from Hinoya on Rakuten a while back but ended up selling them because I didnt like the fit.

Should I get a pair of No.1 and try to keep the waist rom shrinking ? or just tailor a pair... ?

[lmaozedong]

no.1 and no.2 will be the same fit. if you want a slimmer fit either size down more, buy a different brand--you COULD get them tailored but youd have to have a tailor you really trust.
