More Red wing 9001

My love for the Red wing boots continue with the 9001. Really like the cross over and the colour combination of red plus black.

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

After months of searching, I have finally found the Evisu Lot 2001, No 1 special !















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 2001 No 1

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)

No.3 - mass produced outside of Japan in CHINA. medium grade quality and not selvedge. (sanforised)

操牛: How to season your jeans

Source from the web page:


)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

Red Wing boot

1905年查而斯贝克与14位成员一起创立了Red Wing公司,当时的创立点是在美国明尼苏达洲的Red Wing镇是由印第安苏族部落酋长合名的,而查而斯便以Red Wing作为公司品牌名称确保了Red Wing靴子的品质,在机能性,款式实际很独到,经过103年的时间考验证明Red Wing 的靴子是绝对足以名列经典的好鞋。作为Hunting Boots的王者诞生以来,就受到了各界名人的追捧,贵到美国总统,吉他之神Eric Clapton,日剧天王木村拓哉,Puffy组合都是Red Wing的爱用者,Red Wing在日本的成功是爆发性的,这可能也跟日本牛仔裤文化有着极大的关系,Red Wing配复古牛仔裤那是绝配.Red Wing的穿着性也是极佳的.他让穿上他的人享受无与伦比的舒适性和美观性,它独创的goodyear制法的胶底,磨损后可以无数次的加以更换,因此有人是为了一生受用而买下它的。

Red Wing Shoe Company一个将近100年历史的美国耐用鞋制造商，所出产品一直以高质量与耐用性著称。

追溯......

明尼苏达州坐落于美国中西部蜿蜒流动的密西西比河旁，亦系RED WING公司总部所在。明尼苏达州，原为印第安族天下，由一名为WAKUTA RED WING的苏族大酋长所统治。在白种人来此开发后，印地安文化逐渐消失。后来的人们为了保持他们独有的文化而在当地设了一个名为RED WING的街道。1905年，RED WING公司的始创者harles Beckman率领着14个成员在这条叫RED WING的街道创建了第一家鞋工厂，并以街道来命名：Red Wing Shoe Company！创业当时仅系一个日产鞋量150对的小规模厂家。

1919年到1925年间，RED WING所陆续推出的几款长统靴以及可佩带小刀的小短靴，都十分受到消费大众的喜爱。从此RED WING在美国成为了家喻户晓的知名品牌。

经典......

1952年，知名的Irish Setter猎装鞋诞生了！由于这对鞋是以工作鞋样式底所改良而成的，因此结合了原有鞋款的优越活动性能优势及猎装靴独特的造型推出之后，马上成为了RED WING最有人气的鞋款，再加上兼具休闲味的外型设计，使其强大的人气优势至今都居高不下。一直到现在，这款猎装靴仍保有它独特的魅力，不仅为一般消费大众所喜爱，连美国历任总统也都是它的最佳拥护者！

升华......

1980年美国RED WING开始和日本合作，发展亚洲生活化系列，而日本与美国合作后，开始在日本引起注意甚至大红，并且红遍全国，更引来无数明星以至教父级人马追捧，更将其推至潮流巅峰，成为家喻户晓的超人气商品。

Uniqlo Made in Japan jeans

Uniqlo Made in Japan jeans

I went shopping at this evening and came across the Uniqlo  "ALL MADE IN JAPAN" selvaged jeans (regular straight fits, blue denim) for HK$399 only.

The selvedge denim line is for true denim aficionados. Typically only offered by premium denim brands, because of the unique and costly production of the fabric, which is woven from seam to seam resulting in the iconic red inseam.  

The denim was made by famous Kaihara Co. in Japan (広島県福山市, a 100-year-old mill in Hiroshima that makes denim for over a dozen retailers, including Levi’s, Gap, and J.Crew, as well as specialty brands like Citizens of Humanity and 7 for All Mankind, Edwin, Lee, Bobson, BigJohn, Moussy  J CREW, World, Renown, )and all production process have been done in Japan this time.

Sugar cane leather belt

Went to Take 5 to enquire about my Iron Heart 23oz jean..still need to wait..

Nevertheless, bought a Sugar cane leather belt to match with my jeans..  : )

Yamane Deluxe Hayaoki jean (Black label) 17oz

Yamane Deluxe Hayaoki jean (Black label) 17oz

The Yamane Deluxe Hayaoki jean is created by the creator of Evisu jeans. The style is more "formal" and loose like those formal pants. Its very comfortable to wear especially for those who needs to take long distance flights.

 

From the web, this 17oz jean has an excellent fabric..

Evisu Japanese version (2017)

Description from the net:

1. LOT 2000褲型為66 Model Straight Fit Length比較合身

2. LOT 2001褲型為XX Model Loose Fit Length 是原創直統！以前工作褲的版型！比較寬鬆！

3. LOT 2004褲型與LOT2001是一樣的！但是多了調節環喔！

4. LOT 2017褲型為BOOT CUT設計為靴型褲！


The 2017 cut was first designed in 1991. The main characteristic is its lighter fabric (perhaps 13 oz) versus the Lot 2001,2. In addition, instead of the button fly, its uses the traditional zipper. In addition, it has a cloth patch insteadof the leather patch. The colour of the denim is also lighter then the 2001, 2000 series. I have bought this pair fromthe Harbour City boutique which carry a small range of made in Japan Evisu denim.
