Old VS New : A tale of Left Hand Twill EVIS 2101's

Here we have a pair of DEADSTOCK EVIS Lot 2101 Made in Japan up against the exact same pair with hand painted red lazy S's and 10 months worth of wear.

EVIS Lot 2501 Made in Japan

EVIS Lot 2501 (2001) Made in Japan. Another DEADSTOCK pair of pre-Levi Strauss lawsuit EVIS jeans this time in their staple 2501 cut. Interesting to note the patch has no identification on the type of denim it is (Either No.1 or No.2, most probably the latter). Comes with all the standard EVIS trimmings including the older lot number (deemed too close to the famous 501), EVIS red tab (again deemed to similar to the LEVIS red tab) and the Ebisu fishing patch.

EVISU No.1 Lot 2000 and 2001 Made in Japan

No.1 SPECIAL (14.5 oz un-sanforized denim) in the 2000 and 2001 cut's. Hand painted black gulls, its is generally recommended going 2 sizes up from your natural waist size to accommodate the massive amount of shrinkage you get from No.1 denim. The 2 different selvage lines denote the different batch's of denim (black selvage was the former and red is the current).

EVISU Brown Box Lot 0005 Heritage and Lot 2008 raw

Did someone say GREEN-CAST? EVISU Brown Box Lot 0005 Heritage on the left, EVISU International Lot 2008 unwashed on the right. Both come in beautiful broken-twill GREEN-CAST (The cotton has been dyed green before being dipped in INDIGO) denim with the Brown Box being a throwback to the Wrangler jeans of old. The fading for GREEN-CAST denim is also quite special, producing a much lighter almost aqua colouring. Both tag sized 29. (Last picture illustrates just how different GREEN-CAST and RED-CAST denim actually is)

EVIS No.2 STANDARD Lot 2504 Made in Japan

EVIS No.2 Lot 2504XX Made in Japan

Here we have 2 DEADSTOCK No.2 STANDARD's (14.5 oz Sanforized denim) in the 2504 cut (made pre-Levi Strauss lawsuit). Notice how the red tabs are almost identical to LEVIS apart from the gap which is missing the L. These pre-EVISU jeans have a couple of interesting features including both the fishing (EVIS Genes Crafted With Pride in Osaka Japan) and the bull (Private Stock by StyleCraft All Hand Made in Japan) leather patches and also the cinch back buckle, unique to the 2504 cut which allows the wearer to tighten the waist area without the use of a belt (common among the pre WWII model jeans). Both of these have hand painted white gulls and 2 different selvage lines denoting the different batches (the indigo colour is also slightly different).
