Did you get the Rice Paper note with them? I know one pair I got from DoM came with it and another pair didn't. All deluxe do by the way and most should come in a box. The kanbo's come in a wooden box. If you want one you can email Evisu and they will ship you one for like $50 USD.

[chambo2008]

no i didn't just the jeans they look reall nice but fit me fine on the waist but the look a bit mc hammer right now

also the label says 50% cotten 50% flax? so is that like suagr cane? no selvedge either..

i also want to shrink them so a 90oC wash? i have no dryer

pics later on....................

flax = linen

[chambo2008]

thanks, whats the pro's con's?

[blm14]

well, according to the old testament, the punishment for wearing clothes of blended flax and cotton is death.

That's certainly a downside.

[chambo2008]

lol wow can i expect any skrinking with a real hot wash?

Was that bit in Leviticus?

(Ba-doom-tish )

[chambo2008]

so what you think crash? real hot wash or soak?????

[CrashTestBrummie]

Your call, really.

But I'd probably give them a real hot soak first and see what that does to them. Take measurements before they go in, so you can keep an eye open for any inseam shrinkage and stretch it out if needs be.

If you end up washing them, I'd skip using powder unless you have some Ecover or similar. Avoid the fast spin cycle at all costs, unless you want to risk getting creases in places where you wouldn't normally want creases...

But I'm sure other people would have different ways of doing it...And I'd be surprised if you got more than an inch out of the waist, despite what you might think. Good luck!

[chambo2008]

cool, just want the mc hammer thighs to go away waist is cool so is leg opening.... will do it 2moz as wife is home and i ain't ment to have them...............

[heflys]

And you say you sized up on these, right?

[chambo2008]

yeah tag is 32, i got a pair of d67 and they don't fit like these deluxe.........

[heflys]

I'm glad I stayed away from those Kanbo's then.

Pics of the d67?

[chambo2008]

ok 5mins............

[ILHE1S]

Hef,

My Kanbo's didn't have the Hammer thigh's. They are super lovely. Even through they are not selvage, the denim comes from the Cone Mill's. Pocket lining is purple linen and the hardware is awesome. They have leather washer's on most rivet's especially the hidden pocket rivet's.

Chambo,

Post some pic's of what I have mentioned above please and thank you!

[chambo2008]

they are great just been wearing skull 5010 and they are painted on so thats why i proberly feel these are mc hammer i put them in a 90 hot wash see what happen..??

[chambo2008]

was just looking at the washing machine and the water is purple/ dark blue :( bit worried now...................

[heflys]

Why are you worried? The wife? I'm sure she won't......Hurt you too bad. I'd like to see d67, but meh.....

What's your opinion on the quality of the d67?

[chambo2008]

i like it more then d85 can't compare deluxe yet i think those kanbo's are d011 if any one wonderd,

d67 is ment to fade faster as from that start it has white speckles

can't give you pics as my wife took the camera also she will kill me like 20 times over ..

[heflys]

d67 is ment to fade faster as from that start it has white speckles

From my experience, the D85 fades much faster. Like I previously said, I've had a pair of d67 for a year, and they've been worn at least 5-6 months. However, they look barely worn.

I just wondered if the newer versions were different.

Also, the white speckles simply indicate the slubbiness of the denim, since d67 is heavier.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Well I picked up the Lot 1930 today, but they're not in the condition I was expecting so may be returning them...they'd been cuffed and a few small holes had worn through the legs...Nice jeans though, proper vintage Evis cut and the denim looked like D85 but made for the Japanese market, with a red tab that said 'evisu' in lower case. I'm trying to sort some pics out now...

And some of the new season stuff is coming into the shops now. Saw some Lot 0005 in deep indigo, as opposed to the greencaste brown box denim. Was difficult to tell for sure under the shop lights but it looked like the Nakame denim...stitched gulls, black and gold.

And I'll be picking up my Deluxe on Thursday from London...

[chambo2008]

tell more crash................. which deluxe? i thought you bought a house and had no money.........?

[CrashTestBrummie]

I'm looking to buy a house, but they way things are it might be an idea to hold onto my money and watch prices fall even more in 2009...

And I got those Deluxe for $128 from DoM, remember? Really want to see what the denim ages like on that pair with some proper hard wear...give the No.1s a rest for a bit, and wear the Deluxe and the Canes that I've been holding onto for a while...

[ILHE1S]

^ From the sounds of it, you guys put my Denim back log to shame!

[chambo2008]

good idea can't wait for my deluxe to dry............ i hope there ok......

passed my driving test today so not allowed nuffin in the next couple of months... 5 minors!

[chambo2008]

ILHE1S whats in your locker then..?

[ILHE1S]

ILHE1S whats in your locker then..?

I have 2 D67's. One is a Kamikaze and the other is Dow Luck. Then I have 3 D85's. The Red Box, Tamashi and The Blue Embroidered 1 that I am trying to sell. Last but not least my KM56 Hank Dyed Deluxe. I would like to venture outside of Evisu, but I can't find another brand that has a nice 55 cut.
