They're making 4 lee's repros for summer 09. I just wanna know how the hell cheep got a pair......argh!!!

[CrashTestBrummie]

*Curious* Is that some sort of another sick pair of jeans like Cheep has?

I fucking wish lol, just a pair of Lot 2000 No.1 Specials that are coming my way.

Noticed when I was in London that there was a pair of No.1 jeans that were made in Macau. Lot 0004 (or 0005?), a kinda 'carpenter' cut of jeans with an extra panel of denim on the front, giving protection to the thigh/knees. Nice denim, but not quite the same as Japanese No.1 denim, can't quite explain why...

Some of the new designs were different, to say the least, with felt backpocket decorations.

This is the back of those Deluxe jeans now, the black paint doesn't show up too well but this should look better with time:

Left pocket says 'ichiban', right pocket 'ebisu'.

Very nice Cheep,

though I must say I'm a bit surprised at them putting the "Lazy S" on square pockets, but I'm also a big fan of the Lee backpocket shape.

How about other details? I see no tab on the right pocket, and what about and "unionmade" label on the inside of the left backpocket?

Finally, would you mind cross posting those in the Leepro thread?

If those were smaller i would love to of got them. I wish there was an easier way to buy off yahoo japan.

[cheep]

last pic of these jeans... i gave them to a friend of mine last night... he kept talking about how much he liked my new evisu, and i couldnt stand looking at his walmart levi strauss signature jeans anymore....

Awesome pair CTB. I am really impressed with your collection thus far, especially with all these customised katakana, kanji you've been gettin. I am green with envy!

[fatgecko]

oh so sexxxxxy:

Whoa! Anyone wants to proxy for me when this is released? Defintely on my "must buy" list for 09. Separately, I am curious if this is the same as the one found here, though the tag is different. http://tanakaya.pos.to/cgi-bin/eshop/evshopdat.cgi?SH=E&PT=b&CAT=JP2&ITM=!E22101

[cheep]

not the same one... these are brand new with new denim developed for them... no way to get them till 09 i think

Thanks cheep. Am really looking forward/keep an eye out for this one.

[cheep]

they are the nicest ones ive had so far:D

[heflys]

You washed them already? If your Waywt pic is any indication. They look blue, purplish.

[cheep]

no, i didnt wash them. i skated in them tho and they settled down a bit

[heflys]

LOL. That's crazy.

[cheep]

whats crazy?

[heflys]

whats crazy?

They look so different. Seems to be some unique denim, I'll definitely see about these come 09.

[cheep]

selvage

[heflys]

I wish I knew which lee's these are based off, if the description on the site is accurate, these are supposed to be accurate reproductions. Most folks are accustomed to rounded shield pocket, but I believe they made these type of pockets also.

[cheep]

not accurate repros... they are definatly evisu cut and details, its just the denim they used that is lee like... kinda like the brown box were nothing like wranglers except for the denim they used.

[ILHE1S]

Cheep,

Love that Selvage very unique (I think) Haven't seen another Brand that does that one line.

Do you have a Denim # for these. They look similar to D85. Also are they red cast?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Worn relatively hard for a month, non-office hours only...Sanded the gulls right down as they were rubbery (possibly printed, using a stencil based on a handpaint job), with the intention of having them repainted very soon.

Pictures taken inside, with plenty of natural light and no flash:

In direct sunlight, for contrast:

First proper attempt to break dry denim, comments would be appreciated!

[beatle]

Superlate..but still need to say it....love the fit after day one - baggy - but still with a shape.and the selvage line is really dope....

[benzak]

the ones with one lee pocket and one evisu pocket?

I was close with my guess..

the evisu blog is offline now somehow, but on it there is a video of the latest catwalk show (probably ss 09) where the ones I described in my previous post (see quote) can be seen. they carry the same leather label as cheeps leepro.

Getting good there. I like your fit pics. But 1 size smaller might be better maybe? what is your true waist size and that jeans waist size?

When you said repainted, does it mean you gonna send that pair all over to japan and have them repainted?

They're tagged 36x35, actual size 34x35.5, which is just right for me at the moment. They look at bit baggy in the arse and thigh because of the cut, Lot 2001.

The Evisu store in London offers the handpainting service; I'll be able to send or take them down there to be done.

envy you. Evisu is not that popular in australia. I only know 1 store selling evisus, and they place them in the corner. Hahaha. I also want to repaint my gulls logo

How many different cuts do evisus have btw?

[timburm]

do they sell no 1 jeans with handpainted gulls in the london store?? if so, damn it, didn't go last time I was in london

[Paulo]

Im sure they do but they cut the red tabs off plus No.2 hand painted cost £250. So you dont want to but them there.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Nah, the only No.1 jeans they had there were made in Macau and they were prepainted. They did have some Japan-made No.2 denim with handpainted gulls, but I didn't ask if they'd been painted over here or pre-shipping.

Also the price for the No.2 jeans was prohibitive; even with a hefty discount they came in at approximately the price of a pair of Japanese No.1s.

here it is...

2001 - evisu basic cut, button fly, hidden rivet, gull back pocket

2002 - same as 2001, but with zipper fly

2000 - a little more straight silhouette compared to 2001

2000Z - 2000 cut with zipper fly

2004 - buckleback, slightly looser than 2001

2005 - slim straight, even slimmer than 2000, zipper fly

2017 - boot-cut, zipper fly

2101 - lee styled back pocket, but with white paint mark. left hand twill (!)

yamane deluxe - wrangler styled back pocket, very slubby denim with lots of neps.

the paris line

epc1459 - the reversible one

epc1468 - snake and gull back pockets

es04ew - low rise, white gull back pocket, buckle

epc1535 - 3 or 4 kinds of denim materials in one pair of jeans

epc1458 - the so-called spiral cut

epc1544 - the classic pants

epc1461 - large daikoku (daicock?) paint at the back, side pockets on both knees

epc1460 - patched daikoku at the back

epc1457 - the 21 pockets (yucks)

epc1447 - plain back pockets, slight flared bootcut

epc1463 - crane and gull back pockets

hope that helps

And that's for you, Calvin...don't think that list's exhaustive though, as I saw a Lot 0455 when I was there...

[timburm]

i'll proxy me a pair then
