Evisu is still loved!

[HEWSINATOR]

It is his brother.

[heflys]

Cheep, top one crosses over to tacky imo. .

Hmm, I actually like that pair, particularly the fact that it's a different cut( I'm assuming 2000). The symbols are also more subtle in comparison other pieces, and it slighlty reminds me of the DD+1 contest pair.

I want to see how he pulls off those WW 2 repros though.

[HEWSINATOR]

Is there anyplace to get more info on the red tabs? Fit guidlines, etc... Heflys, you say WWII repros, how do you know? There does not seem to be any info on the site.

[heflys]

Well, I assumed they were, since they tab is painted on. Evisu's, supposedly, are meant to be based off the world war 2 period, where, due to the strain on materials for the war, some details were removed. I assume the painted tab, vintage cut and clean back pockets are intended to symbolize this.

Mighta read it somewhere also, but I'll be damned if I remember.

[Visage Fou]

Puma Evisus are great but i couldnt find any mens ones in my sz so the womens ones fit better on me. skinny dude!

The arcuates were painted on in the 44's, but there was still a tab, I believe. The tab was not painted, that is just Evisu messing with Levis.

[cheep]

not getting the red box ones... little mistake... so i guess i only have one set of fit pics to show when they come in.

i am excited to have a dark pair to break in... the wrangler ones i have are great but not much contrast due to the initial lighter color of the denim.

[buttonman]

darn, was going to ask you for fit pics and measurements for the red box

anyone familiar with how the red box fit?

[heflys]

Loose...Vintage through and through.

[buttonman]

if i size down on these (30->28) would it make up for the loosness or the waist not let that happen

exactly, it's just another funny way of making repros of Levi's, Lee and Wrangler. There is also one with an painted orange tab, the wrangler one cheep posted and a Lee repro.

writing this I also remember a very old Lee repro from Evis(u). instead of the gull, it has a 'lazy S' painted on the backpockets. also, the pockets had the same silouhet as Lee pockets

yup, that's the one I mean

[Planet Mental]

Going tomorrow to get a pair my local spot has had in stock since 03 (or that's atleast what the sales person told, I know they have been there for a year and half + those because they were there when i first started going there). not 100% sure on the model #, but they are black with sewn on blue gulls.

[MHP]

Here's the one with orange tab.

[ILHE1S]

I love those Orange Tab Evisu's. Especially since they are D67 Denim. My Favorite!!! To bad I had to settle for the Red Tab D85, but still a nice denim as well. Where did you get those MHP?

[Planet Mental]

anyone know a model name for these?

[brightbill]

Really hard to judge without seeing the profile of the jean, or tags, and with nothing stamped on patch...

[Planet Mental]

that's all I was given really. As I posted above, theyre from a while back. I'll take fit pics tomorrow if it's any help

[grouse_allergy]

Planet Mental, are you familiar with what Riccardi's on Newbury has in the way of Evisu? The last two times I've gone through Boston they've been closed.

[brightbill]

Sure.. there's a translation guide out there somewhere between cut and lot#. Like mine, 0331=slim.

that's actually where I got those. They have a pretty nice selection, and the people who work there are extremely helpful. Of course they carry the lame huge Diacock evisus and what not, but they carry simpler stuff as well. Pretty sure their hours are 10 - 7 monday through friday, not sure about the weekends though.

i'll try to google for this, unless it is somewhere in this thread. thanks

[grouse_allergy]

Thanks for the info. I'm going through Boston next month so I'll probably check it out. I'm definitely more interested in the simpler models so that's good to know. Wasn't sure since I know they carry a lot of crappy designer brands in addition to Evisu and Nudie.

I have been following this thread for quite awhile.

Sorry, i am not sure if this been explained before but

what's the difference between the "D67, D85 etc" denim

especially when it comes to Evisu Heritage line.

Is the difference due to type of fabric used?

[selaviso]

is big still getting evisu?

D85 denim. This fabric features ultra saturated dark indigo selvage denim with a tinted weft and red/white selvage

D330 denim. This fabric features red-cast Japanese selvage denim with white weft and pink-line selvage.

D67 fabric features stubbly ultra saturated dark indigo selvage denim.
