Evisu is still loved!

[pomata]

yep the sizing of the no.2 is even worse. Every shop on rakuten has its own chart and they're all different. According to evisu.jp one should size down at least one...

[CrashTestBrummie]

Just a heads-up - I'm selling my Lot 2004 in No.2 (32) and Evis/Yamane Deluxe (30) on eBay at the moment.

Anyone interested, send me a PM with a sensible offer and see if we can work something out.

[devilva]

Must... resist.... temptation...

[CrashTestBrummie]

I'll keep quiet if I end up listing the brown box in 29 then...

[jyoni]

Ugh, it's a good price on the No.2 but I'm too beastly of a size if it doesn't pan out. I can't even seem to BUY stuff here, let alone sell

[zuko]

Here you go guys some pictures of my old Evisu Deluxe Kabayama Single Needle Jeans.

My first ever pair of Evisu jeans.

I've been wearing these jeans everyday since end of January 2010 till the beginning of August 2011.

Roughly 18 months of wear.

Now retired...

Finally, I can start breaking in my new ones which are

Evisu MiJ 2001 No.1 plain pocket silver selvedge jeans and Warehouse 1001XX 2011 edition jeans.

But enough of that and let the pictures do the talking.

[chantheman]

cool to see something different

why are you done wearing them? seems like there is a ton of life left in them

[cheapmuthafukr]

if youre really done wearing them, and they are a size 32, id be more than happy to take them off your hands... they look like they have years of life left in them

[zuko]

Thanks for the comments guys and your offer faptronic.

I will consider it and let you know and yes, the jeans are size 32

Also, the pictures don't do them justice they look much better in a neutral light.

They are darker than in the pictures.

I will try to get some more pictures later on.

It's not like I am literally done with wearing them.

These jeans will still be worn, but not as much I was wearing them in the past,

as I have two more brand spanking new pairs of jeans that need some love and

....wearing.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Agree on both counts...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

What I really love about my No.1s is, that they nearly don't bleed at all. MY Clarks DB Sand Suede are nearly indigo free

Of course the fading speed is a difference like night&day betweens my No.1s and my Samurais but it is nice and I really love the fit.

[CrashTestBrummie]

The best thing about No.1 denim for me, is the texture of the cloth after a few washes...

[cheapmuthafukr]

so got my jeans in the mail today... not evisu.

they are EVIS! 2506. fucking stoked. they are also much darker than the pictures showed. fit is what id expect from evis bucklebacks... kinda baggy with ballon hips. single sided evis tag, scovill rivet backs, and red and blue selvage.

ill post some pics tomorrow.

[devilva]

Sounds good. They must be No.1's, nice find.

[cheapmuthafukr]

im assuming that they are because they are tagged 34X35 and they feel like 32X32.

[brightbill]

update on my silly quest to put some decent wear into a "big gull" no.2 pair

front is coming along nicely

the rear? a little more slow-growing

the usual triangular saddle-shaped wear pattern, a little loss of gold from my wallet, but otherwise... still quite painted! i was expecting more flaking, but, well, it IS paint... designed to stick to things and last!

[dant87]

Zuko that's some of the illest Evisu I've seen. You should be proud mate.

[cheapmuthafukr]

heres some pics...

and the fit

[CrashTestBrummie]

Niiiiiiiiice...how're you finding the fit, after so long wearing your 2000s?

[cheapmuthafukr]

not bad... really comfortable in the heat

[CrashTestBrummie]

Good find...

This is mine, listed as a job lot of Evisu on eBay and won a few days ago for the princely sum of £63.

Took a gamble on these - the seller said that he'd bought them from the Evisu shop in Tokyo but was unable to provide any more pics as he was out of the country during the listing.

The parcel came today...crap pics (weather is moody as fuck at the moment), but the gamble paid off:

Can't make out the lot number properly on these, gonna have to do some digging:

Hemmed to 31, no chain stitch unfortunately

And Lot 2001, in presumably No.2 denim from the silhouette:

[CrashTestBrummie]

It's the two jackets that are the real find, though.

Yamane Deluxe selvage denim hoody (!), tagged 'Evis':

And saved the best till last...not even sure if this has even been worn.

Evis Yamane Stylecraft Type III Lot 1557:

[chantheman]

last jacket is the business

not sure i like the red arrows on the first jacket but i like the hood part

good purchase

[dant87]

That's some proper cool denim there. I love all the jackets!!! I need to get something like this what a find!!!!!

[devilva]

Nice CTB

Could be Lot 2001R for ringspun as it looks like theres an extra number letter past the 1. Those jackets look sweet, even the hoody.

[brightbill]

One hell of a joblot, god damn

[CrashTestBrummie]

Nice CTB

That looks to be about right, you know...

Will be reselling the jeans and hoody, but I think I might have to give the type III a really hot soak to get a little shrinkage out of it...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Some impressions of my #2000 No.1

[Anders Helseth]

@CtB: awesome finds, I'll rep when I can. Respect!

@b_F: sweet details pics.

Shameless plug: my Evisu 2000s are up for sale, and price includes full shipping to international!
