my 2000 no.2 start to show some small evo after the first handwash

I am trying to buy a pair of the MIJ Evisu No.1 or No.2 jeans and came across this on Rakuten:

 

http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/frisbee/item/10001629/

 

Has anyone had experience with these guys and if so, are they reliable? I live in America and really want a pair of the MIJ denim but do not want to have to go to Japan to get them.

 

I got a pair of no1 2001s from them back in february. legit. probably the only store you can get them from on the net right now without a proxy.

Thanks.

 

Thinking about ordering from Rakuten. Which cut is a straight cut and which one is a slim straight? Also any sizing advice on No. 1 and No. 2 denim? My true waist size is about a 35...

[bod]

Use the size charts on evisu.jp to work out which size you would need in either cut. Roughly size up 2/3 sizes in no.1 depending on the cut and tts in No.2.

 

Lot 2005 is one of the slimmer cuts but there are some newer cuts like the #9000 and PMG105 maybe worth looking at too.

Thanks.

for no.1 size up two inches from whatever size jeans that fit you comfortably, and for no.2 go with the size jean you already wear. no.1 denim is unsanfordized and will shrink a significant amount when washed, and no.2 is sanfordized and will not shrink when washed. If you're buying your pair from that rakuten store I'd advise you to take their advice on sizing the jeans. I followed their advice (sizing up 2 inches) and my jeans fit perfect after one hot wash.

[dant87]

Yeh agreed.

no.1 lot 2000 w34 fit me nice.

No.2 lot 2005 w32 fit me nice.

Does anyone have any details on the 9000's that have been released? Its hard with google translate but Ive read that its very similar to lot 2000 ('66 cut) but the denim is really light weight, maybe even 12oz.

[bod]

Can't haven't anything in regards about the cheaper G01-66, worth a punt maybe at that price..

[devilva]

The thing is though, compared to the No.2's its only 3,000Yen difference. I have my cousin wanting some jeans and ive convinced him to go MiJ this time as he has a pair of brown box greencasts and No.3 Macau's. So for a nice solid pair of No.2's in 14.5oz at only $30 more than these new heirlooms sounds a better deal. I dont know if they are that light weight but pretty sure someone mentioned 12oz.

I mean I would be interested to see them and have a feel and get an idea of the fit etc, but for his first pair... i'd rather him go something tried and tru. Only problem is the website looks low on a lot of stock.

Ill have to post up some pictures of my NO1 Specials with the purple guls from the Osaka store in November. CTB hows things? Anything new special?

[bod]

Shot my 2000#1 through the kitchen window drying outside on the line, the texture slowly coming through with each wash is beautiful.

almost forgot I started this thread 8 years ago.. back then it was called 'Is Evisu still loved?'

[thixtienlam]

Evisu is always loved

[benzak]

yeah, it sure is! but back then the market was almost overflown with fakes and the 'wrong' people wearing them for the 'wrong' reasons.

 

I'd love to have a pair of JP daicocks again, as I sold mine because of the above reason. are they still available? can't seem to find them, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places

[Paulo]

Yeah you can still get them. Specially hand painted in Japan.

 

I have a hand painted jacket with the daicock. Lovely jacket but i cant bring my self to wear it!

[benzak]

online? proxy?

 

I believe you've shown that jacket once here, a long time ago

[Paulo]

Yeah did along time ago! Might be selling it as i am moving to Japan soon!

 

You might find some online or otherwise you will need a proxy.

[benzak]

any links?

[Paulo]

Nah sorry best bet is to go through rakuten or something.

[benzak]

k will check sometime, thanks tho

[leeroy]

anyone looking for lot 2000 #1 for cheap? pretty much brand new, size 31 (fits waist 29-30)

[Blacktocomm]

Here are some Evisu's that I have been wearing on and off for the past little while. They were tucked away in a closet for the past year or so and I just pulled them back out and started wearing them again last week.

 

This pair is still waiting on a crotch blowout repair. These are the baggiest of the Evisu I have and they are actually a weird special denim. I just found them at a store in Oregon and started wearing them. 

 

Here is the other pair of Evisu that I have been wearing recently. This is the No. 3 denim with the red and white selvage. These were right when Evisu started licensing them again with the red and white and were stuck on the shelf for a long while. I have always wanted Japanese Evisu, but have yet to be able to afford them, so maybe my next pair of jeans, but who are we kidding there is way to much denim in the world to plan for the next pair.

 

 

Also I am sorry that I am not too good at photography, but here are my 2 pair of Evisu and 2 pair of Levis together. I lost a pair of Kicking Mule Workshop off the roof of my car at 5 one morning on my way to a triathlon, so those are not pictured, but here is my past 4 and a half years in denim.

[benzak]

really good stuff

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Anybody has any news about the new Evisu No.1 denim? I see the price has been updated to the usual 30,400 Yen again but the stock remained the same. Can’t believe they are not re-stocking their premium product in a year’s time.

[Bill_e_jean]

is the evisu no. 1 the same as lot 01? I bought my first two pairs of evisu in 1999 and i think that these are from that collection,...not much worn because of the baggy cut that i didn't like.
