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!
