Evisu is still loved!

I'd take the 14,5oz denim. It is heavy enough IMO and "the real" No.1 denim

[tigerstrom]

Thanks! Yeah I think I go for that then! If I follow the sizechart on evisu I'm thinking of sizing up 2. I want them to be around 32 in waist post soak/wash. I think that's sounds good right?

Nice one! I never did follow up on my earlier post... assume you went though Denimio, in which case did you rely on the chart or ask for more specific measurements?

 

There's not really much that's interesting me at the moment, but both the fabric on these combined with the annyoance of my old lot 2000 being too big .. well, you get the idea.

yea went through Denimio.  The size chart for the gatagata isnt even there anymore so I went off Evisu jp's measurements.  We'll see how it works out, Im kind of flying blind this time around.   Only kind of concerned about the post wash rise to be honest.  Its at 11.5" raw so if I loose an inch Im not sure how I will feel about it to be honest.

but i will say that I'm happy to announce that Denimio is just as efficient and on the ball as they were when they were and-japan.  

[tigerstrom]

i just copped a pair of gatagata.  im a sucker for rough denim with texture.  hopefully I got the right size!!

 

How did you size them? Size up 1? 2?

I will let you guys know with detailed measurements pre and post wash.  I will most likely get them on Monday or Tuesday

How did you size them? Size up 1? 2? 

well thats a bit tricky.  Im generally a size 33 in most jeans that shrink to tagged size.  Jeans that shrink from tagged size, while I have less experience with them, I usually require a size 35.  With the Evisu's Im kind of flying blind as there seems to be minimal (less than other brands at least) sizing info out there.   Denimio and Evisu Japan have conflicting measurements that seemed to have been corrected or straight up deleted.  Denimio, while very nice to do business with has fucked up measurements across the board.  A prime example is the Full Count 0105xx measurements.  They say the thigh is like 12" on a size 32, which is not the case, unless they are measuring 3 inches from crotch seam.

 

So, these Evisu's may or may not work for me.  I went based on Evisu JPN's measurements.    We will see

Will be good to see what they are like gnome. I await with with eager eyes. Looks like they will be nice and rough from what I can tell.

And I'm long over due some more evis

I've actually ordered the 14.5 tiger selvage last week. Got them today and think they might be too big. Just put them through a 60 degree wash and they have shrunk quite a bit. Going to be interesting to measure them when they are dry! I really hope they fit haha.

[edmond]

What size?

[tigerstrom]

I've ordered 34. So I hope they end up a bit under 32!

[edmond]

They will be a 32

[tigerstrom]

Just measured the waist and it measures 79-80cm (87cm raw) They are still damp so I will post more measurements when they are completely dry. The fabric is really soft so I expect that they stretch a lot. But I think they will work out!

How much did the inseam shrink?

[tigerstrom]

The inseam is now 78cm so about 8-9cm.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^ what a pity 

[tigerstrom]

Yeah for me it's ok! But I really don't see the reason for the short inseam.

[edmond]

are you sure? did you measure your pair correctly? mine is at 88cm after 3 hot soaks.

[tigerstrom]

Yes I'm sure. They were 86-87cm pre-soak. I'll post all post-soak measurement later when they are completely dry.

[Bobbo]

Too bad that the info on inseam shrinkage is correct, haha. Great that they work for you though. Keep us updated.

The inseam is now 78cm so about 8-9cm.

2001 #1 denim? fuck man so ill be needing a 38 on these shit?

[tigerstrom]

Sorry forgot to say. It's 2000 no.1 denim. Tiger selvage 14.5 oz. When I first got them I thought they were way to big but I gave it a shot and washed them. When I took them out from the washingmachine they looked small haha. It's the most shrinkage I've ever got from any denim. Will post pics later today or tomorrow.

[Graytrain]

Ok,here is the post-wash measurements of my size 34....

Waist 78cm/31.2 inches

 

No way!

 

Inseam 79cm/31.6

 

 

The fuck??

 

Jesus. That is a ton of shrinkage. 

[tigerstrom]

Yeah but the waist has already stretched out to a comfortable fit. They were hard to button up at first.

[Blue Nemo]

great it worked out for you!

 

and the inseam is about 1 or 2 cm too short for me...........
