Why can’t you see yourself Wearing beautiful freak is the cut not right

@lee porter Simply too many jeans

[Graytrain]

Well hot dog! 

 

On this episode of weird Wednesday, I bring you something I have never seen (okay one other very small pair but it was pretty worn). If you have seen some of my posts recently, I have been on a hunt for some early examples from each of the osaka 5 in a new state that can serve as "my" examples of each brand. This has turned into a bit of a problem with me chasing the rabbit, so to speak, through several pairs trying to find "the one" that ticks all the boxes. Well this is an interesting edition and one that I don't think I can top (for Evis) that is new (never washed), early, seemingly rare, that also fits me in a way I like. Okay enough justification of my problem:

 

An exaggerated early Levi-esque sewn arc'd pair of water Buffalo 2501s: 

[Graytrain]

Another oddity I found on these was on the arc on one of the back pockets. It is double sewn in two spots, looking as if it was done maybe as a custom job and definitely by hand. 

[lee porter]

I love those arcs

[unders]

@Graytrain

Excellent stuff. What’s the deal with the line of stitching across the back pocket - are they partially lined? 

[Maynard Friedman]

It certainly looks like it @unders, although my SDA 101s also have that stitching but no pocket lining.

 

They look fantastic @Graytrain, I love seeing old deadstock jeans. I generally don’t have interest in stuff that is current and easily available!

@unders yeah, Evisu jeans are usually half-lined an I guess these are as well

[unders]

Thanks. Didn’t appreciate it was the norm. 

[Graytrain]

And fit!! Still a bit wrinkly from the wash but the fit is stellar. I've never been one to have a "rotation" but these will have to go alongside the Denime 66XX I am wearing now.

I still love my evisu

For a little over 2,5 years now my Evisu 2001 No.1’s have been a part of the denim lineup. Stubborn bastards but they’re shaping up nicely.

[EdwardBear]

Picked these up on eBay- little ‘e’ suggests 2001 anniversary, and the denim is similar/same to silk/denim indigo of little e with gold selvedge of the same year. As a 49 year old dad, not only am I loving the original Japanese Evis/Evisu I am embracing it as proper dad style! 

[lee porter]

Wow lovely find

Thanks mate,  the previous owner sadly had messed with tapering so purple selvedge is gone lower down, so I’m going to get them hemmed/cropped for a high water no cuff style

[EdwardBear]

Picked up some early EVIS 2513. The big paint is what I would avoid usually but denim in such good condition I’m going to see if I can rock them 

[EdwardBear]

And another couple to re-ignite this wonderful thread! 
I’ve been wearing Fullcount and Warehouse so much over the years that my Evis/Evisu were my ‘comfort’ choice after work, until I realised that the 2001 cut is absolutely perfect and in a snobbish way puts the dads at the school gates in their Edwin’s to shame! Gulls divide opinion but I’m embracing and being proud about it!

Any time you’d like to sell…

[chambo2008]

Wash day

Where is a good place to purchase Evisu?

[NilsLW]

https://shop.evisu.jp

Maybe you can order through Japan Rabbit for international shipping?

Thank you. Maybe I should just plan a trip to Japan and wait to buy any jeans until then.

[1fookntitefd]

Is the only way to buy Evisu through a proxy short of a Japan trip? I see that most sizes denimio stocks is sold out and they said that they don’t have plans to restock.

Too late now mate, I like them too much, haha! 

Got plenty of other jeans though that I could part with. 

[Ahlvahroe]

I don't know if this belongs here or in the obscure denim brands thread but it looks like Yamane is trying to start another line. If i'm not mistaken he doesn't own evisu anymore, right?

https://yamaneart.base.shop/

https://yamaneart.base.shop/items/71471328    these seems just ok, but nothing else is really catching my attention. 

oh wait? is evisu done? i just went on evisu.jp and it redirected me to the evisu US site.

Interesting! The official webshop of Evisu Japan was pretty low in stock for their standard jeans for quite some times. They also had these 30% off sales for quite a while. Seems they really struggled?

And yeah, Yamane's designs are too loud for me  

[rockon99]

Hold up. The end of Evisu?
