Hoggy, not trying to teach you to suck eggs here but perhaps you may get some more shrink with a hot wash - are you sure you're not being a little hasty?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

IIRC the previous owner already tried everything to shrink them down.

But you could keep them for Winter, when you get fatter again

I think Bod/Freezie is selling a pair of Evisu (from a few pages back) that may fit your new svelte physique.

Hogg gutted for you mate, imo those are sized a tad big for a 34 in no.2 at almost 18" across, I think you got unlucky. Mine are 32 and measure 16.5 after 18 months.

I would happily have bought them if they were my size as I love those rear pockets and a nice sneaky jap tab there too I see.

Good luck with the sale I don't think the price is too bad they should go fairly quickly I'd have thought.

Already gone.

 

....Just waiting for a shipping quote and payment address.

[dant87]

Fair play dude, bagged yourself a great pair of denims there for sure.

[cheapmuthafukr]

My evisu saved my ass yesterday... Literally. Layed my motorcycle down going around 45 and slid on my jeans. Only a small hole, and I had no road rash.

[colincarnival]

^^^ good denim saved my ass as well, 21oz and not only did i walk away I can still wear them.

off topic but 12.5oz denim does nothing in these situations haha

[cheapmuthafukr]

didn't think that 15oz (or whatever the no1 denim is) would be much of a help either, but it held up fine, even after many years of wear. maybe there is something special about japanese selvage denim after all

FINALLY got my hands on a pair of No.13 lazy S's. Will post pics when they arrive

[devilva]

 

Have wanted these for a long time now, side by side with ctb's old brown boxes. Need the Levi's pair and have the set

 

I'll be wearing them in a few months, so glad to finally get a pair after the countless hours searching..

[CrashTestBrummie]

Nice pair of pairs, mate!

By Levi's model, do you mean the ones with the red splash of paint in a 0001 cut? If so, I'm sure there used to be a German business seller on eBay who had a few pairs in stock a few months ago.

Can't remember more than that though...

[devilva]

Hey mate.. yeah those were the ones. I dont really want them but I mean since ive got 2 of the 3... lol

[devilva]

This guy's already got the set..

 

[Warakia]

Man.. That lazy S, would kill for a pair. I owned the red box one, liked the little splash of paint detail but couldn't get on with the 0001 fit so sadly had to sell it. 

[devilva]

If Evisu International was still bringing out models like this I would still be buying Evisu. Doesnt have to be exact reproductions, just some of the little quirkiness of Evisu thrown in with some vintage inspiration. I just cant understand why they are doing stuff like Year of the Dragon designs and all the other stuff they've released. Maybe that kind of shit is selling but its gone a totally different path and I have no interest in any of those newer designs. Its a shame really, but at least we have MiJ.

[EdwardBear]

Completely agree, and as for their Private Stock range- £550 is simply ridiculous, especially when they have cheap looking handpainted gulls that look nothing like the MiJ handpainted gulls. Got my old Tokyo blue gulled 2000s on today and had forgotten how great they are- been in Denime for past few months.

Hello all.

 

Considering using sutocorp as a proxy to purchase a pair of No 1 Special 2000s and have a few questions: 

 

- Has anyone ever purchased from evisu.jp using the proxy service 

- Are there variations on the size of the gulls?

- Is it possible to have the kanji painted when ordering online like in the attached quote?

 

Thank You

 

 

Retrieved this item from me Mom's place last weekend. Actual arrived nearly a month ago...its a #2000 No.1 with specified left pocket kanji. As for fit pic, maybe will post it in couple of weeks time.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

No one never bought a pair via proxy from Evisu.jp

Ok seriously, it's the ONLY way to get a pair from evisu.jp if you are not living in Japan or have a Japanese friend who buys it for you. I used SutoCorp for that deal and all went smooth.

 

The size and style of the arcs changes every few years and as they are handpainted, they will slightly differ from pair to pair...but if you only buy one pair, you will never notice that

 

It should be possible to get the Kanji...ask the proxy to inquire about that.

Thanks man I really appreciate your reply. I am looking at the sizing on the No 1 Lot 2ooo's and I notice that the inseams come at 83 cm which is 32.7 inches. I am aware of the shrinkage in the No 1 denim. That will be too small for me as I am a 34 inch inseam. How can I purchase at the proper inseam if 32.7 inches is the longest they come, ideally I'd like to purchase them at a 38 inseam to work out the shrinkage and then hem after if necessary.

 

 

Also beautiful_FrEaK would you mind posting some of the most recent evolution of your No 1 and No 2 denim. I would love to see how they look now.

 

Thank you again (I love this thread btw).

[bod]

The only way you'll get a pair of No.1's in a longer inseam length is if you hit lucky on an older deadstock pair in your size for sale on ebay/yahoo auctions/supermarket/physically instore or wait it out and see if they eventually start producing them in longer inseams again.

 

These are mine taken back in May this year, they're just starting to bust stitches after nearly 2 years wear

 

[Maynard Friedman]

Bod, they look great, you've washed them quite often haven't you?

[bod]

Thanks Maynard, yep I wore them for a month before their first wash and after that its been every 1 or 2 weeks, they're my only pair of jeans so they get worn every day.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@malox: yeah Evisu did a new run with such a short inseam. there is not much youc an about it other than wait for a new run with longer inseam or look for old pairs (just like bod already wrote)

there is not much evo on my No.1

and I don't own a pair of No.2, sorry
