Evisu Int. Lot.0002 (20 months)

This was the first pair of premium denim that I ever purchased. I had been with friends, looking at these crazy jeans in Sydney's Swellstore and Superposition. Afterwards I did some research on the web, reading reports about Evisu's founder "Yamane" buying Levi's old antique shuttle looms to make denim the old school way, and the indigo dipping 16 times instead of the normal 8... it kinda flipped me out at the time. After reading this guff... I had to have a pair.

My mind was suddenly opened to traditional denim and shrink-to-fit concepts. However, it also became clear that the Evisu denim available in Australia was not Japanese made, and that there are quite a number of other brands making comparable or better denim.
