Evisu No 1 Lot 2000

My favourite spectacles 泰八郎
講到手造眼鏡，又怎能不提泰八郎先生這個眼鏡職人呢？十年前，聽到手造架三個字，就只會想起泰八郎，因當時只有「尊貴視力」一間眼鏡店首度引入「山本泰八郎」售賣。這時我亦開始留意究竟什麼是手造眼鏡?
泰八郎出生於1942年，故鄉福井縣鯖江市，該處最著名就是眼鏡工業，現時差不多所有出名眼鏡職人都在此設立自家工房，泰八郎19歲開始學習人 手造框，1964年正式自立門戶，一做就四十多年。1986年獲「金子眼鏡株式會社」（Kaneko Optical）主腦金子真也賞識，邀請他加盟，並正式推出「泰八郎謹製」。「泰八郎謹製」堅持製框採用賽璐珞（celluloid）每個細節都會親手製 造，所以月產300副已經是泰八郎老人家極限，更加上不想授徒，他的工房就只有泰八郎和他太太兩人一起工作，若他一但決定退休，「泰八郎謹製」便成絕唱。 所以大多數擁有「泰八郎謹製」的人都會比他的故事，執著和堅持的性格，深深吸引著。
泰 八郎一向甚少推出聯名作品，多年來只與宮下裕貴的Number (N)ine有聯系。Number (N)ine x泰八郎謹製系列，一直都不限定推出。在過去幾年曾推出過三至四款合作版本，宮下貴裕只會選用「黑色」及「玳瑁色」兩種為主色。合作版本主力以大隻方形 框，配合鍋釘位一些點綴為主。早在首次推出單品時，將Number (N)ine的銀製「十字架」放上鏡框兩邊代替鍋釘位置，感覺非常特別，另外早前一款黑方框鏡，只在鏡框橋位（即鼻樑位）加上銀製骷髏頭，當時一出，真叫 大家贊嘆不絕，另外還有一款屬於早期的中古款「橫放式菱型鍋釘」，簡單的設計另人一眼不能看得出就是Number (N)ine x泰八郎的出品。到了現在Number (N)ine x泰八郎謹製就回歸平實，特別的地方只是在正面鍋釘位裝上宮下貴裕手上的 「淚眼心」紋身圖案作賣點，簡單及低調的作品，直至現時還可以在一些潮店內找到。

Vintage 1970s Levis belt
Timberland Boat shoe
Boat shoes have accompanied most of my school days. I have wore 5th Avenue, Sperry Top sider, and Timeberland and my favourite is the Timberland.This must be my 4th pair of Timberland. With each lasting an average of 3-4-5 years...these boat shoes are really buillt to last. the only limitation is in its design, which tended to be conservative and has remained the same for along time.on the other hand, its timeless...
Evisu No 1
After two washed, my Evisu No 1 has finally managed to shrink and fit well. The No 1 has a slight rough feel versus the No2. With the relaxed fit, even with the 14.5oz weigh, the wear has been a pleasant one despite the high temperature.

Evisu No 1 Lot 2001
Today is Friday, casual wear day and I have just started wearing my Evisu No 1, Lot 2001. The lot 2001 is a loose cut version which is a comfortable and easy to wear denim. With the summer heat and the humidity, the loose fit Evisu (even with its 14.5 oz) is a comfort to wear. Even though it is 14.5 oz, one will not feel it heavy. The Evisu No1 is different from the No2 as the texture of the fabric for Evisu No1 is more undulating. Perhaps its die to the first time wearing after the first wash, the fabric seemed slightly "harder" then the No 2 but I guess it will soften up after a couple wear and it shall also shrink a bit more after another wash..
It took me many months of searching in Hong Kong,internet, Taiwan and Japan and I have finally found it~
Even though its is the Lot 2001,the lose fit version this is the original version which Yamane sanstarted in 1991.
Great Jean I must say! I am currently hunting for the Evisu Lot 2000 No 1.. : )

Evisu Lot 2000 No 1 (Before wash)
Evisu jeans style is one that’s not too skinny or slim and is the regular fit is for you. This style has a straight leg and can be worn turned-up to show the selvedge hem.
Many will these jeans are dry and starchy, and this is exactly how raw denim comes, well raw/unwashed so it’s a labor of love to soften and make these your own. Once you have worn them in they will become your best pair, comfortable, clean and dark and often with personalized stretch mark.

My Evisu Lot 2001 No 1 Special Jean
Information from the net, with thanks:
NO.1- 最大的特色就在於布料！採用14 1/2 oz以舊式力織機織成的布及頂級技術，NO.1的布料為了要作出40~50年代的感覺，使用現在稀少的古老力織機，而且沒有使用防縮加工，所以它的布料下水之後會產生很大的凹凸感，會使得你在穿著上更容易摩擦，所以在穿過之後會產生濃淡的色落，NO.1是現在EVISU技術集結的逸品。
NO.2 - 牛仔褲，是採用14.5 oz 的棉布料及頂級技術，以力織機織布及使用特殊染料，在洗滌褲子時跟其它品牌的牛仔褲比較起來較不容易掉色！因此在穿著NO.2時會產生獨特的色落！，有防縮加工，及其它細節的作工的部分也都十分的講究及耐用
NO.3 - 則跟一般牛仔布布料是差不多的! 所以價格也是最低的!
Evisu Lot 2000 No 1
For the real Jean connoisseur, the MAde in Japan No 1 & 2 is a must.
No.0 - I'ts like a evisu prototype denim, seems very rare/limited and is meant to be more irregular and textured than the no1. Really no one knows much about it.
No.1 - 14.5oz. selvedge and made in japan. high quality and is not pre-shrunk (unsanforised), is slightly darker than no.2.
No.2 -14.5oz selvedge and made in japan. high quality but may be not as dark or seen as good quality as No.1 and is preshrunk (sanforised)

操牛: How to season your jeans
)何謂操牛?
操牛就係指將一條未洗水牛仔褲,日積月累地著出洗水紋,但唔係人工洗出0黎,著出一條真屬於自己0既洗水牛
2)係咪咩牛都操得?
基本上任何UNWASH/ONE WASH 牛都可以操得,問題係你本身有無恆心,誠意,時間去操,正所謂"操牛無分國界,貴賤",但如果有心操牛,而又負擔到特定0既價錢,本人首選Levi's 501,因為一切從501開始,試0下自己適唔適合操牛,而又算見得0下人...操得靚又有滿足感,就算效果唔好,總算有條501旁0下身,叫做真正著過Levi's
當然,如果有心玩牛,可以試0下日牛啦~
3)unwash新牛買返0黎點處理呀?
首先,扣好鈕,反轉條褲(目的:令條褲定形),放落盤,用30度以下0既水浸3個鐘,再換一次水,再浸3個鐘,然後掛起,風乾,乾0左就完成(呢個係我0既做法)
而呢個程序亦即係"退漿",而同時亦令牛仔褲腰圍,長度縮水
4)有D人話浸褲落鹽可以鎖色喎!!
既然要著到有層次感,鎖色來幹麼?操牛就係為0左要色落0既效果,更何況無實驗去証明落鹽浸褲可以鎖色,更無人知究竟要幾多水,落幾多鹽,點配合???
我完全唔建議!!!!落鹽,想煮0黎食??
5)甚麼叫shrink to fit??
shrink to fit 即係著住條褲落水浸,條褲會根據使用者身型去縮水,一條屬於自己身型0既牛仔褲就此誕生~
how to do????詳情可以參照esin兄0既精華帖~
如果想睇0下D Sample,可參照各大版友無私0既牛牛snapshot,各師各法!!!
同時記住,係人操牛,唔係牛操人,唔好改窄條褲!!!
祝~操好牛牛

Red Wing boot
从2008年起,为方便记录和统一编号,REDWING经典款RW-8875正式更名为RW-8131,除了鞋舌上的标签,整体做工和所有细节不变!
