The Worst of Raw Denim

[beautiful_FrEaK]

But one should always differ between Evisu Japan and Evisu International.
That said, Evisu had "always" very questionable designs in their offerings, not only in the last decade. They are around for 24 years I think. Enough time for crazy stuff

Yep there is some sort of a backstory behind this. There is / was Evisu J, Evisu International and Evisu EU. And the later two went very different paths design and…. wise to the JP one...

Hope all those backpockets has hidden rivets!!! The pair looks pretty useful IMO.

with a bit of searching you might still can find a pair @JCMx800

Lee 101 going Evisu

not really, these are classic advertising pants used by rodeo clowns / riders to promote the brand(s) (Wrangler / Blue Bell did that too) in the 50s / 60s…

The historical aspect is there, no doubt, but I still think wearing one of these as a pair for your leisure time looks silly. If one's not a rodeo-clown of course.

^I was about to say the same thing.  When someone asks you about your jeans do you say, "it's a tribute to 50's rodeo clowns, which are my style inspiration."

[rocket]

yep, don't see there a problem, but that's me 

was just showing the historical reference, not that I would jump on em…

I don't know if these are 'raw' denim…

But at this point do you really care…? hahaha

My favorite was that same pair of Evis but with a brown arc.

Also these!

Gotta say that Evisu was my first dip into Japanese raw denim a few years ago. Was amazed by their denim (No. 3?), the quality and that the seagull arcs were painted on by hand on the backpockets. Nowadays I wouldn't wear them though. Too flashy.

And we have a new contender by Kura:

Got the email on these earlier, first though was to check it wasn't April fools day. They are truly haunting….

I dunno, those extra pockets are probably super helpful.

And…someone put a lot of time into sanding the thighs.
