Evisu is still loved!

Measurements in inches BIG style after an initial hot soak:

 

Waist: 36

Front Rise: 11

Thigh: 13.5

Knee: 10.25

hem: 9

Inseam: 32

Does anyone know what the max shrinkage is on the No.1 denim? I don't think that I got all of the shrinkage out so I threw them in the washer and they are hang drying now.

These are out of order but here are detail shots of the jeans when I first got them. I am normally a size 36 but i sized up 2 for the No. 1 denim...

Pics of the No.1 denim next to a pair of No.3's that I got from Evisu International a few years back (when I didn't know any better).

Looking forward to your fit pics!

If the current Tiger Selvedge is similar to the old No.1 denim I got, you can easily get another 1” of shrinkage in both waist and inseam with a machine wash.

Thanks BF...

They are hang drying right now so I should have measurements tomorrow night...I'm hoping to get more shrinkage in the thigh and knee area...

Post wash fit pics. The jeans are very roomy and comfy but I'm more used to slimmer fits. What do you guys think? 

[Broark]

Looks good to me.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That's how I expect a #2000 in size 38 to fit. The 2000 isn't a slim fit to begin with unless you size down. And I think the top block looks good.

Looks good mate. With a cleaner cuff and boots it will look even better. 

[1fookntitefd]

I'm surprised at how soft and stretchy the no. 1 fabric is. Curious if anyone has been able to get away with TTS sizing with the current tiger selvedge lots...

[Floorboards]

So

I picked these up at Placebo in Sofia, which is a really nice little 2nd hand shop. I can't find any online details. The denim is really lovely and heavy, yet soft. The tag is missing a "made in _ " label, but the quality is outstanding (cinch and watchpocket stitching lines up perfectly with the waist, tonal single needle work throughout, selvedge waistband, chainstitch hems, the works) whoever had them before me removed the suspender buttons and sewed on some belt loops, but they really didn't match so I took them off. 

Best fit I've ever had.

Any ID help would really be appreciated!

^nice find! These are Evisu International (Heritage), made in Macau to top spec, based on Levi's XX oldest oldest (Paul T's write up here: http://www.trynka.net/archive/501_Oldest_Oldest.html). The embroidered coins in the back pocket were a nod to the gold rush, and will fade through to show on the back pocket eventually (if you don't wear a wallet!)

5'10

I did not need to hem my pair after shrinkage and a cuff

[1fookntitefd]

I just hot washed my Evisu No. 1 2000 and threw it in the dryer in the hottest temparature setting. Why? Because NO FUCKS GIVEN! 

Here are the before and after measurements in case anyone is curious. Tag size 38. Previously hot washed and hang dried:

W: 35

FR 11.25

Thigh: 13.5

Knee: 10.25

Inseam: 31

 

After Dryer:

W: 34

FR 10.75

Thigh: 13.25

Knee: 9.8

Inseam 30.

how is that possible that being 5'10 you cuff them with inseam 30? something seems wrong..

[bod]

Some people do have short legs and a longer torso or just over-exagerate their height

Nice fit Ben, envious of your weather for once.

Thanks mate, I like the rain too so I'm generally happy no matter what weather we end up with here! 

Another nice day and some pics of my Evis Lot 2513 carpenter pants.

I think this is the first time I've seen a full-leg gull with some wear and...I...I like it a lot? Hm.

Yeah, I don't think they look as bad when worn as you might expect. I've got another pair with the big daicock on that I posted a few months ago but will get some fresh pics soon. 

Lot 2001 in No.1 denim below. Had them tapered on the selvage side as you can see, as I like the top block but the leg opening is too much for me at the moment. Can always get them put back to how they were before by doing it this way. 

 

[CrashTestBrummie]

On a bit of a roll at the moment... 

Evis Lot 1507 type 2 jacket in No.2 denim. Had this for maybe eight years now? Been wearing it a lot recently. 

 

[Geeman]

@CrashTestBrummie good to see you posting again Ben.

freshly washed after my trip to japan.

not sure why my white balance is blue but you get the idea
