Evisu is still loved!

[CrashTestBrummie]

Sweet...

All that talk of new denim meant that I ended up going out last night in those No.2 2000s that I've had stored away for months...

I've only really been wearing the No.1 2000s and green caste mizuhiki 0005s recently, so was nice to wear something a little looser on the thighs...

They looked good, too

[edmond]

pls post pictures buddy i wanna see i wanna see

[CrashTestBrummie]

Too dark outside at the moment to take new pics, but they looked like this before soaking:

They're a 34, and my waist is now a bit smaller so wore them loose. I'll see if I can get any more pics later on...

Damn comfortable when in sweaty bars though...

[edmond]

very nice my no 2's 2000

[CrashTestBrummie]

Did you ever get any wear on those Ed? You've had them for a while, remember seeing them on Mynudies when I read the Evisu thread from the start, just after joining...

[edmond]

yeah not so much bud cause been breaking the sam 710 and the 21oz-ers

but days that i wanna feel comfy and nice and loose jeans d wear these

[CrashTestBrummie]

I still got the 21oz Sams hanging up...and some Canes...

This is why I should only buy one more pair of jeans this year, and they will be Leepros...

[edmond]

nice but try evisu lee's or yeah get the yamane deluxe hayaoki i think... id love to get them as my next pair!

[CrashTestBrummie]

I've been trying to get the Evis Lot 2101 Leepros for a while, but nowhere seems to have them left...The Heritage ones would be nice though.

And I've got the old Yamane Deluxe Lot 00, with the Evis label inside. I think (but am not totally sure) that they're classed as the equivalent to No.0 denim...

[edmond]

thats the one with the ribbon? as back pocket design?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Yeah, these ones:

[edmond]

whered you get those? if ever you come across a size 34/35 on any jap rare evis hit me up alright?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Got them from eBay for £90...a real bargain, considering what they are and how they're classic 'old school' Evis/Yamane...

They're tagged 30, so I've got something to wear when I'm a little but slimmer on the waist than I am now.

And yeah Ed, I can do that...

[edmond]

cool thanks brum...

[CrashTestBrummie]

If it's rare Evisu jeans you're after though, you should get a pair of the green caste Heritage jeans...

Not many other brands have produced a broken twill selvage denim...

[edmond]

nah no non jap for me for evisu had a couple of heritage before gave them away

[CrashTestBrummie]

A lot of the Heritage denim is still made in Japan, especially the rarer sorts...and as Cheep would agree, the quality of some of the Heritage jeans is comparable to Japanese-made denim...

Plus the green caste are REAL hard faders...

[selaviso]

yeah and if you dont like em you can give them to me =]

[CrashTestBrummie]

yeah and if you dont like em you can give them to me =]

[edmond]

[CrashTestBrummie]

What, the green caste and stuff?

[edmond]

yeah those heritage

[CrashTestBrummie]

A quick search shows that there might only be larger sizes left.

Keep your eyes open for the Hotei jeans:

And the mizuhiki jeans:

They're broken twill green caste selvage denim, like the brown box Wrangler tribute jeans released a while ago...

The denim's proper soft, and even after some real hard wear I can only see slight fadings on mine...

[edmond]

most of them are sanforized eh?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Yeah, all Heritage jeans are sanforised apart from the occasional run of No.1 that they do...

[edmond]

ohh no 1's? with jap denim ?

[CrashTestBrummie]

ohh no 1's? with jap denim ?

I'm not entirely sure, although other forum members should be able to tell you that.

I think they're all constructed in China though, and the most recent ones have been pretty awful-looking to me...

[barty9]

have you been to the Evisu outlet shop in Swindon?

It's not bad.... they have some of the louder Evisu but some are really cool and go for the 60-70 pound mark.

Nah, it wasn't open last time I was down there, but I've seen people selling stuff that they bought from there...

It's in the Great Western shopping place, isn't it?
