Thoughts on jeans, denim, Japan, and everything Evisu
Looking good…
I’m not sure I can even articulate why, but the Dirty Dozen + 1 experiment just feels like the perfect denim project in every way.
Did someone happen to measure the waist pre and post soak? What kind of shrinkage did you get?
It’s a tag size 30, right? Is that about where you ended up after soaking?
Online there is a lot of debate and disagreement over whether one should size up, size down, or just order your true waist size when buying Evisu No. 1 denim.
Maybe you can settle the matter?
Thanks and good luck–I’ll be following your progress with great interest.
just get your size, and once youve washed them, they’ll be a bit tight but they will stretch out after an hour or two of wear!
