Evisu is still loved!

[devilva]

Booya. Now we see how they fit

Thats a misty bathtub right there

[blm14]

i hate you so much right now. what size are they?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Shrunk down from a 33.

The fit's good, the denim feels heavier than I expected but it's still pretty starchy...

[chambo2008]

thats a really good fit Ben, glad to see you break them out, repped!!!!

[Guest redchris]

Great Jeans Ben.

Looks like someone has been on oki ni's case, they have amended their Evisu descriptions to not say MIJ.

[devilva]

Doesnt get any better Ben. Great stuff there, that 3rd pic denim is looking nice and hairy.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Yeah, it's hairy as fuck...pretty irregular, too...

I was going to save them till later in the year, but I knew that they'd fit since shifting some weight and I'd not worn any new unsanforised denim since soaking my 2000s, back in 2008. You know how it is...

[Knolok]

Soaked my #2000 no1 sz 34 two times already but I still find them a bit too loose, got them hemmed to a 31 too, wondering if I should hot soaked them once again?

Waist is supposed to be tight on my 32 waist but it never was, it's not big but I've got a little room there and the legs are also loose...I don't wanna lose too much indigo..any help?

Would never get something like that hemmed untill i gave at least one or two hot soak/wash.

Anyway it will likely stretch abit more then its already with use so i would try and sell them...

[CrashTestBrummie]

Hey Paulo, you around at the end of April? I promised Kanji that I'd show him the jeans once I'd started wearing them, so a trip down to London is in the offing...

[bunga]

as usual with gold. damn you CTB *shakes fist*

[Warakia]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CrashTestBrummie again.

But I can't wait to see how those Naturals are gonna break in.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Cheers, lads...

The waist on these has stretched out surprisingly quickly, although that's not a problem...and the denim feels very similar to the hank-dyed Deluxe denim used a while ago. Like No.1, but more irregular...have to see how they age.

Time to get the bike out at the weekend, now that winter's passed

[Warakia]

I'm always on the lookout for 0005's, my favorite fit, so quite happy with this steal:

http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260740800997&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1041wt_1141

Seller had the same pair in size 30 listed last week, but I lost that one. Got this one cheaper and my size as well.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Good find, I'm on the lookout for a 28 in that style for a mate.

I'm a fan of the cut, too...

[Paulo]

Yeah im arround and im working closer to the store so easy for me to get to.

Not a huge fan of the cut. Still have a dead stock pair of lazy S cant remember if its 30 or 31 but still cant decide what to do with them.

[Unearthed]

Hey, can anyone recommend a good proxy service?? Really want a pair of plain pocket no.1 MIJ's.

[marvelous1200]

^not sure what size you are but i got a brand new pair for sale at the moment cheaper than retail....

[CrashTestBrummie]

Do you still have those? I could probably get into those comfortably(ish) now...I may still be interested in them...

And I'll give you a shout closer to the time, regarding London. Probably looking at the last week in April or the first in May...round the cluster of Bank Holidays we seem to have been gifted

After the Royal Wedding might be a better idea

If marvelous1200's don't fit, then use Sutocorp (see their 'Japan Proxy Servce' thread on here). I used them to win the Naturals...

Well that's my size so if you ever decide to sell hit me up.

[devilva]

Look at all the vultures come out....

I offered a trade of some MiJ's as I missed out the first time on those lazy S's but the cuts are 2001 so probably too baggy.

Damn CTB would love to meet up with you guys for a few drinks, too bad im on the other side of the world.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Judging by the original price and tag, they were sourced from Savile Row...

Mate, I'm gonna be making the trip over your way at some time, most likely in 2013 though...my sister and best mate from school are in Oz now, so I'm under increasing pressure to sort it out!

[Paulo]

Selfridges i was going to say.

Yes im still not sure on what im doing with those. Devilva that second offer you made is mighty tempting however size 30 might just be too tight and lot 2001 is abit baggy specially as im kinda short!

edit: Just checked they are size 30.

[CrashTestBrummie]

I think that Selfridges MiJ comes via Savile Row, so yeah...

[Warakia]

Was taking pictures of some other stuff so some quick shots of my 2005's, not the best light but oh well:

Approaching six months of wear, 2 initial washes before wear and 1 soak since. Really liking the blue colour these are getting.

[edmond]

2005 's are no2 denim right?

[Warakia]

Jup, unfortunately they don't make them in #1.
