Evisu is still loved!

[tigerstrom]

^After wash they shrink down to around 32-32.5 and after a couple of days they stretch to 33.5 (size 34). They have had 4 washes in 7 months of daily wear.

I just came across an old pair of no.1 2001 in my closet and damn! I miss the quality of those jeans. It's a shame they are too large for me. I would like to order a pair of no.1 2000 but they have an inseam of 34-35 inches before washing and I need at least 34 after washing. Evisu if you are reading this stop discriminating against tall folk!

[Broark]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to order a pair of Evisu jeans this year, just not sure on what pair yet.

I can manage the shorter inseam since my legs are fairly short for how tall I am.

Thinking 2000 or 2001, no. 1 denim and either either tiger or red selvedge.

 Quite some stretch! didn't you say they went to 31.2" when you first washed them to shrink.  Hows the inseam and leg opening, any smaller?

[tigerstrom]

Yeah, after the first initial wash at 60°C they went down to 31.2. I haven't washed them in so hot water after that They stretch alot and really fast. I can measure the inseam and hem tomorrow!

[bod]

Cheers

[tigerstrom]

The inseam is 31" and hem 8"! The inseam after the first wash was 31.6!

Faded white gulls look so damn good.

 

I'm going to Tokyo/Osaka in April and am now thinking of swinging about either store and grabbing a pair and getting the gulls painted. Anyone know the general turn around time?

 

Also, it kind of sucks but the 2000 fit is scaled weirdly in bigger sizes. Like a sz 36 to 38 has the same rise (and even 40 is hardly bigger at all) but everything else is so much bigger. Can't figure out what size to get. Does the denim still shrink a lot even if cold washed and hang dried? 

[Planetarium]

^^ they can usually paint the gulls in an hour unless there's a big rush on the shop

Tokyo might be busy, Osaka less so but is still well-trafficked

Sapporo is nice and leisurely

 

Look for the door near the back that says Yamane in Japanese; that's where he sleeps when he goes to visit his stores.

Shout out to Flash for hooking it up with a pair of no.2 2000 in the tiger selvedge!

Thanks! I'll probably swing by the Osaka store and keep it simple and get white gulls. Now to figure out the sizing...

[Bobbo]

Keep in mind that the sizing differs between the runs. I think Planetarium recently wrote about how the current 2001 was sized.

[Planetarium]

^^ I did and it's totally wacky. Next time I'm gonna hit Evisu the Tokyo for the best chance at a good fit.

After comparing them in person I will say that if you can't get No. 1 denim, don't bother. The No. 2 isn't bad denim, but it's just not interesting by comparison.

Yeah, I was reading a bit back in the thread and saw a bit of the differences in runs. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, I am definitely aiming for no.1 denim. Nothing less! 

[Rightyow77]

Just opened and tried on my Evisu 2000 No.2 and I love them! Sending them to BIG tomorrow to get hemmed.

 

Been wanting these for a long time, thanks Ryan for hooking me up! Apologies for the piss quality pictures but here's how they look.

 

best,

 

[Flash]

No problem at all mate , perfect fit

[Flash]

Finally replacing the pair I sold years ago

Pics are from the auction on yahoo jp but I should have them in a week or soo .... fingers crossed

[Mr-Bielby]

Nice buy, I really should wear mine. Lovely denim, but quite a full cut

[Flash]

Looking forward to getting them and I think I'm really gonna like the cut , ironically the pair I sold was the same size but my tastes have changed and I prefer a slightly looser cut

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Usually we always annoucne when Denimio starts to offer a new brand.

I thought this time let's do it the other way around and annoucne when they stop carrying a brand

 

They stopped carrying Evisu (thanks to flash for pointing that out to me)

[Frost]

What the fuck? Does anyone know why? Especially considering that they had approximately five million Evisu models added over the last couple of months.

 

EDIT: I can still access the products over different tabs, it's just not listed under the brands anymore.

Maybe Evisu told them they can't sell to International customers and they did or something.

I suspect that something funny was going on there.

I also was told Iron Heart can't be sold internationally in Japan either.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I was surprised in the first place that they started carrying them. But they recently added some more models and now they are completely gone.

 

Usually Evisu Japan shouldn't be sold to the international market AFAIK

[Frost]

So weird. The didn't get Strike Gold, then there were rumors of Full Count leaving (which hasn't happened), I also heard that they considered stopping carrying TFH but then decided not to, and now Evisu gone. Would really love a look behind the scenes to know what's going on.

[Flash]

i think a lot of international retailers are not too happy that they are directed at the overseas market and they are letting there feelings be known to the brands 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Regarding Fullcount, Denimio increased the prices so they seem to be stil lallowed to carry them.

They haven't got Flat Head restocks for months (at least not the the 3009)

[Broark]

Strange development, I did send them an email awhile back asking if I could order a pair with no arcs and they said they couldn't.

I'm still planning on getting a pair of Evisu jeans at some point, I'll just proxy a pair.

Thinking No. 1 denim, tiger selvedge and undecided between the 2000/2001. 

[bod]

Yeah I noticed this a few weeks ago, changing the site language to japaneses unblocks them from the brand menu.

 

Don't Denimio prices track exchange rates? so prices are changing on the fly like cultizm for example

Yeah they do, I noticed a while ago because while I thought about getting the Samurai x Denimio 710 the price kept increasing by 2€ per day while I thought about pulling the trigger

I ordered a pair of 2000 No 1 recently without issue.  If you go to the search box and look for Evisu, all the products are still there.
