APC New Standard : New VS Old

A.P.C. New Standards Size 28. Even though they are a very minimalist jean, I have been impressed with how they have held up over the years. My pair are probably due for a few repairs, their actual wear time is approximately 2 years give or take with half a dozen soaks/washes in between.

EVISU International No.13 LEFT Lot 0200 and Brown Box Lot 0005

Not an exact reproduction of any specific vintage Lee cowboy model, these lazy S's (Lot 0200) are more of a homage piece by EVISU International. Released 2008, both size 29. Pictured next to EVISU International's Wrangler (Lot 0005) tribute jeans. In my opinion the 2 best models the International label has ever produced.

EVISU No.2 Lot 2000 Repaired! *Updated at 4 years of wear

After spilling battery acid on my No.2's (derp), I had them patched up by the guys at UpThereStore in South Melbourne and am extremely happy with the work that was done to them. Hard to say exactly how many wears Ive given them as Ive had them for a few years but I would say its probably about 1 full year of solid wear and I think 3 washes in total. Still plenty of life in the old boy yet though.

*Updated at 4 years and still going strong...

EVIS 2101's @ 1.5 years of wear

EVIS 2101 Lee Cowboy model

Another update on my Lazy S LHT Leepro's coming in at 1.5 years of wear with a handful of washes in between. Recently had the crotch repaired due to a blowout.

EVISU Heritage

EVISU HERITAGE vintage Levi Strauss reproduction in the staple d85 denim. Key features are the plain pockets and the rising sun selvage line. A very basic pair of  EVISU but not without its charm. Size 30 Leg 34.

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).
