Evisu is still loved!

^ A little off-topic but if you're headed to Brick Lane, be sure to have a look around Spitalfields Market near Liverpool Street station (on your way to Brick Lane), especially on a Thursday. Here's Paul T's blog on some of the stall holders: http://www.marketpeople.org/category/spitalfields/

That looks awesome, I will be going there in the future but sounds like you say Sunday is the best day to go and look round. Unfortunately I'm going Saturday and it doesn't seem to be open according to the opening hours part of the spitalfields market site. Unless I'm mistaken!?

Looks awesome all the same!

Not Evisu related but.....

First stop...

Then onto Son of a stag. Great for any denim purchases if your looking for lvc...d'artisan....Japan blue momotaro....Edwin overworks.....full count...... And much more as well. They have alot of good range and not just that but the guys in there know alot about denim.

If your looking for your next pair of denims and don't want to order online/proxy etc i honestly can't see where else better to go.

Unfortunately that's the only photo I took of the store today.

Recommended by CTB.....

As CTB pointed out they know the value of what they sell and it is not cheap but if you've got some cash in your pocket and fancy something awesome get yourself down there.

What's Evisu's repro cut? Do they even make such a jean?

Yeah, Evisu Japan started off as a repro company and their classic models are still based on classic cuts. Back when they were called Evis they made repros to make a latter-day denimhead burn with jealousy...

Evisu International (different company who produces under licence) used to run the occasional loosely-labelled repro model in limited numbers but this was only really of interest to aficionados and died out some time ago. The link I posted a few posts above was to their Leepro from a few years ago.

The current 'vintage' repro model is the lot 2001 in either the No1 or No2 denim.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and the #2000 should be a '66 cut

[Sugar Mountain]

Was the red tab common on Evisu prior to the Levis' lawsuit? Saw an older fellow wearing a nicely washed-out pair of red-tab Evisu when I popped to the corner shop yesterday. Cool to see in my neighbourhood either way...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the MIJ Evisu still have the red tab. Dunno about the international line

[jstavrin]

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I was aware of Evisu's history but I wasn't sure if they still did that stuff. I'd love to find gull-less #1 denim in a 50s cut...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the 2001 would be the closest cut and well...you don't have to order them with gulls

[leeroy]

Anyone in Japan willing to proxy me some 2000 no.01? Everyone says go to evisu.jp but they've been sold out for months....

[dant87]

Someone take look at these....look a bit off to me dunno why, patch looks weird...

Gulls look international aswell yet rivets are right and underside of label appears right.

Not stamped 1 or 2 no3? Can't see a selvage/non selvage shot

Yeah looks like fake. Especially the inside label.

[XzuLLX]

is these for real? i thought inly no 3 have selvedge like this?

[XzuLLX]

no 4 waseda made in usa?

[coleslawyum]

Shit looks all confused… and fake as well. It's like they took labels from the International and MIJ and threw them on some No 3 denim. My head is spinning. Ive never know Evisu to be made in the USA. Its either China or Japan.

[Maynard Friedman]

I don't have a link but I believe that both Cultizm and Oki-Ni were selling an Evisu WW2/1944 special limited edition repro (200 pairs) that were Made in USA and came in a wooden box, etc........

This was about 2 years ago and they actually looked pretty good in the pictures. The price was high initially but they were soon heavily discounted.

[Warakia]

Those first 2 are fakes, just about everything is off about them. Third one might actually be legit, tag doesn't look bad really.

[XzuLLX]

For your consideration. No1

[coleslawyum]

Looks like early 2000's Evisu. I've seen that tab before but only in red. Gotta see the the selvedge.

Might be another fake…

Shit how did you get your hands on all these fakes?

Edited January 10, 2013 by coleslawyum

[XzuLLX]

this is the selvedge. these are not mine actually.

[Mr-Bielby]

No1 2000's. Nagoya brown gulls

Edited January 17, 2013 by Mr-Bielby

[beautiful_FrEaK]

never seen brown gulls on here before...looks cool

[Mr-Bielby]

^^ each city in Japan where evisu has a shop has a signature colour available in that store only.

[dant87]

Looks rad those
