Evisu is still loved!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you can still pull on the inseam to stretch it out

[Max Power]

Have you considered the rise as well? A longer rise might add the 1-2 cm to the total length you need. I for example need a 35" inseam but can go down to 33" depending on the rise and waist measurements.

Is the likelihood that there is further shrinkage ahead in the inseam after only the first soak? I could just about get away with a 31'' inseam on a tapered jean if they stayed at that length.

[Blue Nemo]

i would expect some more shrinkage with another wash, at least at 60°C

 

i can easily say now "time will tell" as i have enough pairs to wear for now, but in another two years i get nervous again :-D

then, as bF said, you could stretch the inseam back out.

Here's a bad fit pic. Will post a better later this week. I like the fit, is a perfect pair for the summer!

[Sugar Mountain]

Very nice fit dude. Do these have white gulls?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They fit how a #2000 should fit!

[Blue Nemo]

excellent fit, yes!!

[Bobbo]

Great fit mate! That's exactly how I would like to kick a pair of 2000.

[blasterofair]

Perfect fit! No need for a hem either so that's nice. You save money and you get to keep the original chainstitch.

[tigerstrom]

Thank you guys! One thing I like is how soft the denim is. They are the most comfortable jeans I own.

@sugar mountain

The gulls are offwhite/yellowish. Really thin painted.

Fuckin pictures mate

[garden gnomes in space]

mine should be delivered to my desk this afternoon

[tigerstrom]

I will post more pictures in the weekend.

@garden gnomes looking forward to see your gatagatas!

[garden gnomes in space]

Heres a couple dirty pics and raw measurements.  Not sure when I will get a chance to wash and measure them to be honest.  Hopefully soon:::

Denim feels like Samurai 710xx but without the random slubs

BiG style, size 35

Waist: 34.5"

FR: 11.5"

BR:  15"

TH: 13.5"

Hem: Between 8.5" and 8.75"

Man, that denim looks nice.

One day I'll order a pair of Evisu jeans without the gulls, definitely need a pair in the collection.

[Max Power]

I would have ordered a pair with gulls many times if they didn't come with those short inseams. Would be great to see a collab with a western retailer that takes care of this.

[tigerstrom]

Wow, that gatagata fabric looks so nice! Is it that dark like in the pictures?

[j0emama]

Garden gnomes, that denim looks amazing!

Can't wait to see the post soak measurements and the measurements after they've stretched back out after a few wears.

I've always wanted some Evisu but wasn't sure about my sizing (between a 34w and 35w).

Tigerstrom, can we get some measurements of your 34's after a few wears too?

[tigerstrom]

Absolutely! I can measure them later or tomorrow!

Since they shrink from tag size I don't think Tigerstroms measurements will help you that much.

i hope the evisu no 1 is sold out at denimio now? (keeps fingers crossed)

i think it will be pretty hard to get a retailer do a collab with evisu japan as we westerners have to deal with evisu europe - they suck. i am not sure, but i think evisu japan isn't "allowed" to do business in europe...

they'd do a proxy for you

 

 

and gnomes, when i look at your pictures i want to get one myself right away... damn the denim looks nice!!!

yes, its nice and dark, with some vertical irregularities.  Its a rough hand, but its not slubby.   

[Jambon]

Do love Evisu and really tempted from these ones recently posted from Denimo.

Evisu was my first unknown venture into Japanese selveged denim after watching Louis Theroux wearing them years ago on the BBC.

These are my current pair, no1 special 2000.

But don't get much wear as a bit tight in the waist and baggy everywhere else for my liking. Another victim of the Evisu gamble.

Still loved none the less but avoid the Carnaby St store like the plague they really do not get what Evisu once was and why what they sell now no longer appeals.

Now I've been wearing my size 34 evisu 2000 no.1 special for almost 3 days and the waist has stretched out to 32.5 inches. The other measurements is about the same as post-wash. I expect some more stretching but all my other jeans is around 33.5 in the waist so that's fine!

I can already say that this is my favorite pair! I think I'm going to wash them pretty frequently to get a nice vintage fade on them!

Cold washed the Gatagata's last night.

W: 32

FR: 10.75

TH: 12.6

Inseam: 32.5

Hem: I cant remember, maybe 8 ish?  Ill double check tonight.  I just noticed the dual color chainstitch on the hem, which is really cool.  

 

Im guessing there is a bit more shrink to go.  

 

Love the denim.  has a nice course feel to it, but its not slubby.  I dont think the cut will work for me.  I was suspect of the rise from the get go and indeed its too low for my liking.  Dont have it in me to battle a fit anymore.  If it had an 11.5" rise this would be the money cut for me.  

 

Ill probably post these for sale at some point in the future.  

[Maynard Friedman]

Gnomes, don't give up yet homes!

I find the rise usually stretches back to the raw measurement. I think you should give them a whirl.

[tigerstrom]

Here are two more pics on my new evisus. Sorry for the bad quality. They are a little dark.
