Evisu Japan 2000 No.2 (1 month)

At the Evisu Tailor store in Daikanyama the staff are incredibly helpful. They have shelves full of blank jeans. You select the style (2000, 2001 etc.), the size (32, 33 etc), the denim grade (No.1, No.2, No.3 etc), and then you can select what colour and which pockets you want the Evisu seagull painted.

You can even select no gulls. After 2 days you can pick up your jeans with the gulls painted. The denim is nice, and features "Tiger Selvedge" - a yellow line and a black line.

In Japan, you can get denim jeans with red tabs made by companies other than Levis. So, these have an awesome Evisu red tab. These jeans have had less than one month's wear.

Impressions

The Japanese Evisu jeans are much nicer than the China made Evisu that was originally available outside of Japan. I suspect that China has improved their denim techniques in more recent years, the more recent Evisu jeans that I have seen are quite different to previous years.
