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:

Warehouse & Co 1001XX Jeans

A new addition to the collection is the WH&CO 1001XX jeans. which I started wearing recently. These are spun 7x7, rather than the normal 7x6, which gives the denim an overall lighter shade. I believe this is because of the extra ecru weft yarn in the weaving, meaning there's an extra undyed and white thread being used; thus 7x7, and not the regular 7x6. The weight of the denim pre-wash is 13.5oz, making it slightly lighter and more suitable for a warmer climate. The cotton is 100 % sourced from Memphis USA, and the jean is 100 % cotton made; and it's all pure indigo, no underdyes used.

As if that's not enough, this pair of jeans has been through a specially developed oxidization process, which is intended to give the fabric the feel of an authentic vintage deadstock pair of jeans. Now for a look at this beauty:

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!

My Denim Cap

Here is the sanfordized slubby and hairy denim cap with all its beautiful imperfections such as the broken twill which may seen on the inside. Originally an Evisu cap, though I removed the seagull stitching because I felt it was placed awkwardly.

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:
