Evisu is still loved!

[Sugar Mountain]

The Evisu website says that No1 denim shrinks 9cm in the inseam length (from around 83cm raw). That's why most of us are shit out of luck with that denim!

[Mr-Bielby]

I think 2001 for you. I do love my 2000's but I find them I little restricting on the man parts to be an everyday jean.

hope theres not 9cm of shrinkage in the inseam or i didnt need to get my hemmed last month. guess well find out of my jeans are going to be too short after I wash them again (wash #4). figured they were done shrinking by now.

The red-line No.1 shrinks 3.5" in length, Tigerstrom said he got 8cm from his tiger selvage, if the gatagata No.1 is the same used on the Lot 2011 I had then that lost 2.5" which Gnomes pair of 2000 seems to back up.

[tigerstrom]

Yes 8cm is what I got on my tiger selvage on the first wash (60 degrees celsius). Maybe a little bit more on the second wash but barely noticeable.

^What the good man said.

 

The 2000 cut is a classic cut, but not the classic Evisu cut. Lot 2001 was originally Lot 2501 (see what Yamane did there) and was the standard Evis cut, with the silhouette being used for the 2504 buckleback model too. Pretty certain that the 2000 cut was a later addition, don't think I've seen any Evis 2000s or even early Evisu 2000s.

[Broark]

There's the info I was looking for!

Good to know, I had no idea about the Lot 2501 (I did see what Yamane did there!).

I guess my only concern with the 2001 is it looks a bit baggy in some of the fits I've seen, and the hem looks a bit wide.

But then again I don't really want a fit that's restricting around the man parts either!

[Mr-Bielby]

Hem on the 2001 is no different than the 2000 in my opinion, admittedly I don't look at the numbers.

[Broark]

Hmm, also good to know. The measurements on the Evisu store don't seem too much bigger now that you mention it.

Just so I've got this right: 2000 is closer to a 60's slim-straight cut, while the 2001 is more of a true straight leg?

[edmond]

2001 is a 50's cut

[JdcINK]

is No.0 very rare in Japan store??

[edmond]

Impossible to buy one

[rodeo bill]

These are Evis 'overpants' with no marked Lot number, bought in Daikanyama 2008 I think. I didn't wear them much for a long time, but I've had them on a lot this summer, total probably 6 months. They're tagged 34" but measure more like 40 so I've had to wash them quite frequently to shrink them back so they don't fall off. Hemmed pretty short which I'm enjoying a lot. They're also nice turned up as shorts:

Bet you the baggy fits you've seen are No.2 denim and without (much) shrinkage then...

That's possible, I did a bit more digging through the thread and found some really nice 2001 fits.

Sadly a lot of the photos are gone, but the ones I did find were pretty sweet. Nice straight leg cut.

[Mr-Bielby]

Here's mine from a while back.

[Broark]

Definitely not baggy! Nice fit.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Got me wanting a fresh pair of No1 2001s now...anyone know where's good for them that possibly isn't made from a super shrinking batch of denim?

[chantheman]

i didnt realize that evisu no.1 denim has changed to where it shrinks more now than before. do they still make a silver selvage no.1 denim or is that the old stock?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

(toy my knowledge) the No.1 denim changes from year to year (or season to season).

Different selvedge lines, different cast, different percentage in shrinkage

 

@CTB: when you can make a inseam of 83-86 cm work...pre-wash, well then you can buy from the usual proxies or from denimio.com

I'd have to lose a bit of leg to make that length work...cheers for the mention of Denimio though, had forgotten the site name. Looking at Fullcounts on there and Evisu on Rakuten, but just accidentally ordered a few Reigning Champ pieces I saw at a very sweet discount on a different site altogether

 

[Flash]

took a few comparison pics of the no.1 and no.2 tiger selvedge 

 

no.2 on the left        no.1 on the right 

 

 

 

 

both denims are similar but the no.1 shows a little more slub , the colour of the no.2 is a little more green caste ( dont think i could capture it on camera )but both are very rich 

 

and a bonus pic of the tiger selvedge

Great photos Flash, making me want a pair of Evisu jeans even more.

Might reach out to Denimio at some point and see if they can special order me a pair, might be cheaper than proxying.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Anyone here with a pair of 2001s with about a 33-34 waist who would be good enough to let me know what the thigh, knee and leg opening measurement is?

 

Cheers in advance!

[Sugar Mountain]

Thanks for the comparison photos Flash. I'm surprised how hairy the No2 denim is - I'd always thought it would be pretty flat after sanforization (or whatever process is being used here). Would definitely consider copping now...

[Flash]

the no.2 is a really nice denim mate and looking at both denims side by side they are not that far apart 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I am also surprised to see the No.2 denim so rough and hairy.

Very nice one mate!

 

Edit: yours are the Warehosue made Evisu No.2 Flash?! Since they are sanforized they might work inseam-wise

Edited August 11, 2015 by beautiful_FrEaK

[Mr-Bielby]

My tagged 35's are 8 1/4" if it helps

[Flash]

No mate my no.2's are from a few years ago but the measurements of my brother in laws pair I sent you are from the current ( red selvedge ) run

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Just heard back from Peter from Denimio that Evisu has zero plans to make the No.1 denim in a longer inseam again.

Seems like we tall guys are out of luck
