Evisu is still loved!

[ah_long]

i finally got a pair of Evisu after all these years.. will post pics later..

No 1. denim, 2000 cut w/ hand painted tokyo blue gulls

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it's always nice to see some #2000 No.1...can't wait for teh pics

[Warakia]

My 2005 no. 2's did not stretch at all, 0.5cm tops. I think that if you buy them tight they can stretch about a full size though.

[devilva]

Yeah, it depends how tight you buy them. The tighter they are the more stretch you will get, the looser they are the stretch will be minimal because theres less pulling of the denim.

Im really happy with my No.2's actually, the denim quality is great. Theres so much difference between No.3's and No.2's even though the denim weight is only 1 ounce heavier, the No.2's feel so much more solid and durable.

my jeans

we always see 'dow luck' in kanji on evisu's denim or clothings.. apparently dowluck is a fishing lure manufacturing company.. you guys probably knew already, but I just learnt about this.. and so I bought two of the least expensive surface poppers.. can't wait to hook some horny bass with it

[mr.invincible]

my jeans

holy shit, son! that's proper!

congratz on getting the no.1 denim.

[devilva]

Is that Tokyo Blue? Congrats on the No.1's

[ah_long]

yup, that's the tokyo blue

[Warakia]

Quick note, you said it read ''dow luck'' but the kanji read as dou（道） raku（楽）, which given the context probably means hobby here.

Nice jeans though! At the Tokyo store they paint it while you wait right?

[CrashTestBrummie]

"Dow luck" is kinda how the characters are said in Cantonese...

[ah_long]

U r supposed to wait a few days, but I told him abt my situation...

Dow Luck is their official name in eng for the lure subsidiary or partner company, funny as crashtestbrummie pointed out, thts how it's pronounced in Japanese. Their fishing stuff is more of an art, and they only do surface lures and equipment.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Have these been posted before under a different name?

A 'proper' repro for the Western market, which presumably has been 'authorised'?

im looking to buy some 2000 no.1's and want to be sure of the sizeing im a true 30 but ive lost a bit of weight and some of my recent jeans have been 29 , i had some 2000z no.2's in a 31 but they were huge, what im thinking is to size 1 up and get some 31's providing they shrink from tagged size .thanks for any help

on second thought mabie tts

[beautiful_FrEaK]

SUO would be better for you in the long run...they shrink from tagged size. at least my pair did. or it was just 0,5" bigger than tagged

[cheapmuthafukr]

my 2000 no 1 were i think .5" smaller than tag when raw, and they shrank 1.5-2" mine are a 33 and most of the jeans i wear are 32s... the evisu being so tight in the waist that i usually wear them damp after i wash them to stretch the waist out to a comfortable fit. id size up one unless they are never gonna touch water.

A friend tried sending me some of those but they weren't getting through customs. I don't know if it's because it's a sharp, or because of their shape. Another allegedly good lure is the X-Lure, if you like shorefishing for trout/salmon. It's like a tiny version of the huge trolling flashers with kind of a "lindy" rig. I wouldn't know for sure about their effectiveness because they were in the same package that got sent back

any pictures of the X-lure?

I was talking to the guy doing the handpainting for me.. he said the black penis popper works well for bass in dawn and sunset.. gonna take that out next year as soon as the season opens

[edmond]

always size 2 up on no '1 2000 and 1 up on 2001 #1 evisus and size down 2 on #2 2000 and size down 3 on #2 2001 evisus rule of thumb

[Yin]

Just brought this, hopefully i don't get scammed this time.

Nice Yin, looks like they have some wear and tear by just being folded away for so long.

^^ This

i was trying out the jeans @ Evisu in Japan.. they have pre washed jeans (dryer dried) for fitting purposes..

the fit of the Sz 31 No 2 #2000 is very similar to Sz 34 No 1 #2000

So size up 2 for No 1 #2000

[pomata]

are these fake or what?

[DoitsuJin]

can't tell based on just that pic, but that was the lazy S model i think... solid pair.

[devilva]

Yeah you cant get those anymore.. wouldnt have minded a pair myself to beat up at work.

Also Id be careful about sizing down 2 or 3 sizes on No.2 denim.

[Yin]

Thanks.

The seller just show the last picture to show how the jeans look with age.

[Warakia]

Sizing down 2 on No. 2 denim seems extreme, I would say true to size (with a hot wash) or size down one. Definitely ignore the people in store telling you to size up one though.

[edmond]

you a freak? true to size on no2 denim? god damn man your the teacher now?
