100% fake mate, red tab lettering and spacing gives it away by a mile. There should be room above the E that's left blank for a start. Lettering way too bold. The arcs stitched like that I've never seen before and that patch is diabolical.

definitely will be getting a pair of 9001

[borlack]

Thanks all. It was a $9.00 investment so I'm not at a big loss. Plus all the other authentic raw denim I've thrifted this month will more than make up for it. Thanks again!

The fact that they seem to have Levi Strauss & Co, San Francisco rivets kinda suggests a bit of a mismatch of details

Rare to see actual Evis jeans with a leather patch although not unknown at all.

I am JAPAN MADE DENIM mania!
I really like Evisu Genes ( Made In Japan products only)
This month, I showed the Right-on ×Evisu DENIM on web site.
These are a low　moderate　price.
Those to be further surprised is all made ​​in Japan .
Though cheaper price than buy abroad quality is high .

Evisu Sapporo try on report:

 

No. 1 denim 2001 fit measured below tag size before shrinking on all five pairs I examined. Had to size up three to get a pair where the waist would probably be okay but the leg size was not adjusted for so they were absolutely huge.

 

No. 2 denim 2001 fit measured above tag size and doesn't shrink at all even with hot drying (speaking from experience)

 

Best of luck to anybody trying to buy with the current batch. Nothing fit me properly

[tigerstrom]

How much under tag size were the no 1? They are shrink from tag size yes?

[Planetarium]

At least half an inch; I couldn't button up my true size at my natural waist. True size in the no. 2 denim measured an inch and half over, pretty decent waistband gap and that's before any potential for the seat to stretch.

 

Pretty bummed because I thought this was finally my chance to own some of the og painted jeans, but I wasn't gonna take the risk. Even at the current exchange rate and buying in person, a pair of no. 1 denim is around 300 bucks. You can get a lot of really great stuff for under 200 in Japan, usually one wash so there's no guesswork. I'm totally converted to one wash at this point unless I buy another pair of Samurai in the future since I know exactly how those shrink.

 

Also surprising: the selvage side seam was super tiny, around 1 cm, definitely different from what I've seen in the past.

Hi everyone! I just got some one-washed no1 2000s off yahoo jp a few days back. Took a couple of pics while splitting wood this afternoon:

Size 31x34, yellow* selvedge and normal no.1 patch in some sorta pebbley leather. Anyone have an idea about when these were released? Thinking about switching them in as my DWC pair..

[Sugar Mountain]

Haha, bit of an eerie vibe to that photo! You've nailed the fit though. Were the jeans new or with some previous wear on them?

[chicote]

Well, the listing was a bit ambiguous. The person selling them told me that they washed and dried them right side out and ended up with some vertical creasing that they didn't like, then let them sit for a few years without much wear at all. I have no experience with no. 1 denim, but it feels more or less about how, say, my stevensons felt after the first wash and week of wear. What throws me off is that the patch is faded, and the paint is quite worn as well, but there are not really any wear marks of any sort save the creases and a bit of roping. Maybe I'm underestimating the stubbornness of this denim and they do have more wear than it appears.. Ah who knows with these things!

2000 no.1s just about starting to fade ....... a little

[tigerstrom]

I gave my evisu a wash yesterday. 7 months, 4 washes. They are hard faders but amazing!

the rear beltloop stitching loooks funny & cool at the same time!! *geek out*

Edited November 10, 2015 by Blue Nemo

[Sugar Mountain]

That Evisu offset belt loop is one of my favourite details. More importantly, that friggin' marbling... Just beautiful. If HK wasn't full of people wearing shockingly ugly Evisu International, I would likely swoop on a pair of these.

[Flash]

go for some plain pockets mate 

[Sugar Mountain]

Nah, I've gotta have the handpainted gulls. Black would work though.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

There is your answer

[Sugar Mountain]

Next time I visit friends in Osaka then... 

[Blue Nemo]

The white arcs are already perfect for me! But I am pretty sure the 2001 will not work out for me...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Too wide? Or what is your gripe with them?

 

I'm also all in for the classic white gulls

[Blue Nemo]

wide is a-okay

 

the hem is too small, leg too tapered.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

On the 2001? Shouldn't they be wider than your Denime 66?

What size are you looking at?

[Blue Nemo]

Ow you're right. 2001 should be fine. I messed up with the 2000......

[Bobbo]

Guys, have you ever come across 2001 No.1's with grey selvedge? 

 

 

[Maynard Friedman]

Yes, I think they're from a few years back.

b_F may even have that selvedge on his pair.

[Bobbo]

Thanks Maynard! 

[bod]

I had those ^ , they're from 2010.

[Bobbo]

Thanks a lot Bod. Will see if I get on the Evisu bandwagon then!
