To be honest unless thats a special run you have the same NO.3 denim made in china as the other jeans you have. Its possibly a special run from the time when Evisu Japan made some Lot 2000's for the european market and i guess they then made some with the same denim for the Japanese market.

To be honest i would return as the whole point of getting them from japan is to get the better denim and the nicer details. You wont find many if any fade pictures of this in the japanese magazines. Unless you fancy keeping them just because of a slightly rarer red tab.

i think there from just after the levis lawsuit judging from the tab

( strange selvedge but )

The heritage/european denim is made in Japan, but assembled as jeans in somewhere like Macau. Those jeans are probably made with similar denim, but assembled in Japan.

New model of Evisu raw denim:

These broken twill look pretty good here, but look crappy on the main site:

I thought the D85 denim was being made in china and as far as i can remember Evisu never made any claims of it being made in japan.

[Flash]

did you end up keeping the 2000z Paulo ? any updates ?

[Paulo]

I hate them! I hate you too! nah seriously they are a pain in the ass the zip keeps coming undone im checking my crotch like every 10mins. They are all im wearing lately as i havent had the time/cash to go repair my 2000's. Nothing great on them yet as ive only worn them for liek 2-3months tops. Might take some pictures but not yet i dont think.

I remember when Evisu claimed that all their heritage garments were Japanese denim.

Even this old interview states that:

Well then that could be the case though i still have my doubts on that claim. Mind you i dunno if i would want to put too much trust on someone who claims their favourite jeans they own is simply "My Evisu selvedge jeans". Yeah good going on the detail there.

Also they seem to make a point of saying the new No.1 and No.2 denim is made in osaka however leave it out for any of the other denim in the introduction to the new denim posts.

[edmond]

no doubts these are real all japanese #2 denim so guys quit it

[Paulo]

no doubts these are real all japanese #2 denim so guys quit it

Theres no doubt they are real however they are not the Japanese No.2 denim they are the almost exclusively european used D85 denim.

[edmond]

they are not d85 again they are not if ever they are d85 ( which is a far cry! ) just the same selvedge

[marvelous1200]

I don't think these are the Euro denimz either. the D85 has a cream colored weft, these look to be a white weft. The old japanese #2 used this red/white selvedge before the Euro started using it. It wasn't ever the same denim, just the same selvedge line.

I heard that claim made before I read that interview. Most sites even describe the denim as Japanese denim.

Also they seem to make a point of saying the new No.1 and No.2 denim is made in osaka however leave it out for any of the other denim in the introduction to the new denim posts.

That same article also states " our Japanese Mills," and points out that that specific denim is manufactured by the kaihara corp.

they are not d85 again they are not if ever they are d85 ( which is a far cry! ) just the same selvedge

Nope, they don't sound similar. D85 is supposedly unbleached. I would like to see how they compare to each other though. Might be interesting.

[cheapmuthafukr]

when i was in the evisu offices a few years back, chad made a point about the denim all being from japan, even tho the jeans were put together in macau

[Paulo]

That same article also states " our Japanese Mills," and points out that that specific denim is manufactured by the kaihara corp.

Apart from the interview (to be fair its a pretty good source) i will still have my doubts until i see Evisu explicitly say that the D85 denim is only made in japan. The article is abit sketchy as the NO.1 and NO.2 denims are introduced as Japanese made but none of the other denims have that explicit claim.

Also on the cloth tags again NO.1 & NO.2 are explicitly referred to being Japanese but nothing on the other denims.

Also ill point out that i have nothing against some of the really good quality denim coming out of china like the ones being used by the Chinese Yamane Brand.

[heflys]

I think cheap pretty much cleared things up.

[Paulo]

I think cheap pretty much cleared things up.

Yeah i guess they are and im prob just biased against them after all the crap ive read about them being money grabbing so & so's. However i still find it funny we have all heard it but they never seemed to make it a point to use in their advertising.

[CrashTestBrummie]

For me, the saddest indictment of Evisu's Western-aimed denim is the lack of pictures when it comes to decent faded jeans.

We've seen the ones on the blog, and we've seen maybe half a dozen pairs on here, in all 570 pages of this thread? And only one of them (in my memory) was D85 denim, the rest have been the 'special' denims such as the LHT and broken twill denims...For their 'standard' denims, there is next to nothing when it comes to eye-catching faded jeans, even amongst their fanbase...

Well, unfortunately, it seems people make an effort to avoid the heritage line in favor of its Japanese brethren; despite the line being readily affordable, the denim being made in Japan and the fact that, overall, it seems to be well constructed. It seems, and I'm not stating everyone believes this, that if doesn't have "Made in Japan" stamped on it, it must suck in some fashion. I think that's why many denim connoisseurs avoid it (not to mention its association with certain groups). Also, I believe most of Evisu's buyers aren't interested in fades as much as an image; though this has declined considerably.
