Steel Feather jeans - my first project!

Time to show some teaser pics of my very own Steel Feather brand jeans:

My New Evisu 2000s

It's been a while since I last updated the blog. I've been busy at work, and taking some well-earned time off; although I've not been able to fit in a trip to some exotic destination this time over.

Also, I have some hot news just waiting to be released in regards to a pet project of mine; alas, it is too early to share anything concrete. It's definitely denim related, and I'll leave it at that for now.

I did, however, have some time to shoot a small selection of pictures for your viewing pleasure. These are my newest addition to the collection, but I'm sad to say ended up a full inch too short for my taste. So, they are up for sale on SUFUs supermarket forum here!

Anyway, here come the pics:

WH700 pictures

These are the newest shots of my Warehouse Lot 700 in 1000XX denim. Awesome evo for only 4 months of regular wear. Safe to say I'm well ahead of the other participants of the Osaka Showdown on SUFU.

Enjoy!

Lot 1507, No.1 Special, by Evisu

Here I present my newest addition: the Evisu Lot 1507, No.1 Special (Made in Japan), with a black line selvage. The pictures have been shot pre-soak, in the denim's raw state. The size is 42 before washing, and came up a bit roomy and long. However, after hot soaking for one hour it has become a perfect fit; and much softer and hairier to boot; and it feels like it breathes more as well. The combs and creases started happening only after the soak. Given this, I suggest a preliminary soak, though I am aware many will prefer to start from raw and unwashed. Enjoy!

Before Evisu there was Evis

Here are some pictures of a deadstock pair of Evis jeans (pre-Evisu), using Scovill rivets and the old "EVIS" redtab; the cream of reproduction jeans:

Studio D'Artisan SP 013: Evening Outdoors shoot + Mascot shot

An update on the progress of my SDAs, now pushing on 5 months intensive wear. This time shot in the evening sun. However, before that here is a picture of my SDA Mascot, who keeps my SDAs company when they're hanging, Mr. Billy Jeans:

Now, on to the actual shots of my SDAs (notice that a coin-fade is appearing in the coinpocket, along with zippo-fade):

The model on the two lower photographs is my lovely assistant and girlfriend, Annette. Though usually behind the camera, I deemed that there was need for a change.

Evisu Lot #2000

This British summer has been very hot, and for this very reason I have done a drastic change in one of my favourite jeans. To give it more wear on these hot and sweltering days I decided to have a chainstitch hemming to the knee. So here it is, the Evisu No.1 Lot #2000 shorts:

Evisu Lot #2000 Photographs

Below are photographs of my Evisu Lot #2000 pair. Back-pockets painted by hand by two of my friends at the Evisu Saburo in Savile Row. The seagull is by Masumi, and the Japanese sign for Evisu is by Kanji Kohanda. As may be seen, they have seen some wear, and a bit of washing. The cracked patch is an effect I was very pleased with. The right back-pocket has an atari effect from keeping a small notebook in it.
