Evisu is still loved!

[Mr Black]

Just heard back from the seller. They're the black edged selvedge . Can't help feeling a bit disappointed now

Could you post a pic up of yours? I may learn to love them.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

there you go.

as I said, ugly. but leave them uncuffed and no one will notice. the selvage shouldn't be the dealbreaker here!

[Mr Black]

Hmmm.

Ah well- as you say- shouldn't be the dealbreaker i guess. All of my jeans have the white edge so maybe it's time for a change.

[demonator]

ive got a silver selvedge from way back 2007 on the 2008 pair i got was already the black one.

[Maynard Friedman]

If your jeans are too long and you don't want to cuff, then just hitch them up to the desired length and cuff the waistband downwards until it's at the correct height.

[Mr Black]

That's almost verging on genius. Why has noone ever thought of that before??

[demonator]

thats brilliant !

[DDDm]

Seldom did i see great faded pairs of Evisu like these 2 on the net......

Just found them on a Taiwan forum, both being No.2 Lot 2000

Jean 1 - 4years, mostly worn in the Winter time only

Jean 2 - ~3years of daily wear

you havent seen mine?

[DDDm]

you havent seen mine?

Of course, seen that. But you've to admit well faded samples like yours & the above 2 are still few & far between c/o other brands.

Hope more denimheads post their evisu, just to keep others interest in the brand

Jacket looks the nuts

[STropio]

Number 1 special's worn for about a year solid, maybe more. Didn't alternate at all, and finalized their destruction helping renovate a salon space for my wife - which accounts for the paint on them. Washed 5 or 6 times.

Unfortunately sized wrong. I'm a natural 29-30 waist and got these in a 30. Had to use a waist stretcher so they didn't crush my hips but they definitely were tight on the berries. Have a size 31 ready to go once I move on from the pair of Eternal 811's I'm currently wearing out.

Relegated to the bullpen aka weekend wear only now.

[dant87]

They are very nice. I like the whiskers around the knee area on the back of them.

[DDDm]

Very delicate fade esp at the back ...Is that What those No.1 Special is famous for?

Must thumbs up to anyone doing real renovation work with their No.1 Special on

[CrashTestBrummie]

Some good stuff, fellas!

Here are my Evisu Lot 2000, well into their fifth year of wear. Colour is pretty accurate:

Anyone know a good store in Japan for denim repairs? Going next week and would like to get my evisu repaired.

[demonator]

theres a place in harajuku shibuya area called denim works or just got o bears in shimokitazawa

[Paulo]

Thanks detonator - any better directions to denim works than shibuya & harajuku? I went to bears on my last trip there and was left unimpressed by the service. They were quiet rude!

Actually looks like they moved from tokyo to hiroshima! (denim works)

I think you've just blown detonator's cover!

[demonator]

bears? rude? are you sure??? theyre very nice i usually visit them when i go to tokyo.

anyways try americaya in ueno and hinoya they do repairs too

americaya on the back 2nd floor where they sell their samurai's

Yeah i was really looking forward to seeing the store but when i got there i think i must of interrupted the guy at the store from leaving for his break or something. It was the only time in our 2 weeks in Japan where we felt unwelcome anywhere!

[homi29]

If anyone has a pair of MIJs that would fit waist 30/31 let me know, i'm in the market for a pair

[demonator]

i have a pair that will fit a waist 31.5. just soaked too small for me mij handpainted skull 2001 no1

[Naoto]

@paulo

i don't know how long you'll stay in japan, but usually they take 1 to 2 wks to repair unless they're busy or it depends which shop you'll use (the better reputable shop, the busier).

I've had my jeans hemmed at denimworks before and it took 5 days - just bear in mind.

[dant87]

Hey guys,

Been wearing my no.2's for a few weeks now and I'm struggling to tell the difference between these and my washed no.1's!?

What commands the extra money for no.1 over no.2? I know obviously one is sanforized and one isn't but what else is there to it?

Thanks

Shameless plug for my size 32 2000#2 zip fly with red tab & black hand painted gulls, brand new/unsoaked. Great jeans but I want a button fly pair.
