Cerita LRG

Lifted Research Group, commonly known as LRG, is an Orange County, California based clothing brand headed by Jonas Bevacqua and Robert Wright. LRG produces clothing and accessories, and also has been known to develop a broad range of products consisting of electronic accessories, extreme vehicles, and outdoor equipment including sporting goods and more. The company is also involved in the promotion of underground recording artists and sponsors a skateboarding team. Entrepreneur magazine ranked the company at #5 on its 2007 Hot 500 list of fastest-growing companies.

Nak senangkan cerita, jenama ni memang dah bertapak lama bersaing bersama-sama jenama cam Quicksilver, Billabong, Stussy dan jenama-jenama skateboard yang lain. Kat Malaysia nih tak berapa terkenal pasal kurang pendedahan dan kita kat sini tak ramai yang pandai main luncur ssalji dan wind surfing he he he. Untuk penyelam bundle cam Bozzo nih jenama LRG adalah salah satu item yang dicari pasal ianya sangat2 rare. Butik xde kat sini. Bundle pun tak berapa tau jenama ni so boleh dapat dengan harga yang sangat murah... Kalau dalam Ebay janama ni lagi mahal dari Adidas Originals...

FYI : jeans dijual dengan harga USD299 keatas dan baju dijual dengan harga paling murah USD59.90.

Evisu Jeans: Homage To Levi’s, Lee & Wrangler

Years ago the Japanese denim brand Evisu made a homage to the Big 3 denim brands: Levi’s, Lee and Wrangler. Each homage denim came with the typical details from the brand. Levi’s had the famous red tab and made from right hand fabric, Lee had the lazy S (bulls long horn) and made from left hand fabric and Wrangler had the leather backpocket patch and made from broken twill fabric. The typical signs were added with the legendary Evisu paint. All three are in deadstock unwashed/used condition. Great to see these three legends on this creative way.


Evisu Heritage pai kulit...salah satu dari evisu punya pecahan...
Sangat cantik...sangat rare...agak-agak caghu ada tak seluar-seluar nih dalam koleksi dia? Kompom takde punya pasal dia bangga ngan jenama AMAREKAA dia...


 Evisu: Homage to Levi’s

Trademark Levi's Red Tab...tapi evisu secara kretifnya pakai cat merah je...memang kretif dan klasik...
Selvedge/kepala kain Rising Sun...boleh kata semua Evicu Heritage line pakai kain jenis nih...bozzo tak pernah jumpa lagi yang redline atau greenline...kalau ada sesape pernah terjumpa silalah komen sket...sama-sama kita kumpul ilmu dan pengalaman...


 Evisu: Homage to Lee

Lazy S yang memang nampak sangat lazy dan pemalas...
Untuk seluar yang ini Evisu gunakan kain NO 13 left hand fabric...sama dengan kain yang digunakan oleh Lee untuk edisi Lee Riders dolu-dolu...tahniah Evisu kerana berjaya mengekalkan keaslian Lee...yang bozzo tak pasti cuma samada Evisu pakai buttonfly atau pakai zipperfly...kena beli dulu la kot baru bleh tau...hu hu hu...

Evisu: Homage to Wrangler 

Ha ha ha...Evisu pakai cat je untuk tiru lambang Wrangler...kalau diperati betul-betul kat poket tu bleh nampak kesan hidden rivet...memang cun sangat...
Untuk tribute Wrangler ini pun Evisu gunakan selvedge/kepala kain Rising sun...jahitan rantainya pun nampak nipis...tak macam jahitan rantai standard Evisu...

MATZU For Evisu Jeans – Limited Edition Box Set

In a well choreographed collaboration with New York-base Japanese artist Tomokazu Matsuyama, known simply as MATZU to his friends, the denim label Evisu finally released the MATZU For Evisu Jeans Limited Edition Box Set. In part to Evisu’s 20th anniversary, albeit a year later, the limited edition coincide with celebratory theme of “20 Years of Making Rules ; 20 Years of Premium Denim“. The slim 2010 fit, unwashed selvage denim feature vibrant yellow polka-dots and teardrop shaped paisley in tonal fashion. Each pair comes in a traditional Japanese packaging, an elaborate gift wrapping process with furoshiki cloth in various shades of blue along with a wooden box etched with Matsuyama’s famous motif of a Kirin. Said to be a Chimera-like creature that was half-dragon and half-giraffe, the Kirin played an auspicious part in Asian mythology and played an important role in Japanese culture. Accompany within edition is a special Japanese fan printed with Matsuyama’s elaborated Kirin graphic on the front, a detailed timeline of Evisu’s 20 years on the back. MATZU For Evisu Jeans – Limited Edition Box Set will be available soon at Evisu flagship stores around the globe.

Cerita Evisu - No13Left

No13Left is a close reproduction of the early denim used by Lee from the 1910s onwards. It is a left hand twill cloth, which is identifiable by the diagonal twill lines, which run from top-left to bottom-right. Unlike normal right hand twill denim, which is the opposite, left hand twill denim wears down even softer than its’ right hand equivalent. No13Left is green caste indigo, and has mismatched selvage: one side is plain white, and the other side has a single warp thread of indigo woven into it, staying true to the specifications of the original Lee version. Lastly, jeans cut from No13Left denim have the leather patch sewn on the left side of the waistband.



 Patch/pai selalunya terletak di sebelah kiri pinggang.



Cerita Evisu - No3

No3 is the original famous Evisu Heritage selvage denim, previously known as D85. No3 denim is woven from unbleached ‘mother cotton’, and the warp is rope dyed with indigo to an extremely deep blue, almost black tone. Rope dyeing is so-called because the cotton yarn is twisted into a ‘rope’ which is dipped into a vat of indigo before being brought up high to the roof of a dye-house, allowing the unstable indigo compounds to oxidise on the cotton, turning it from a murky brown-green color to the deep intense blue of fine selvage denim. No3 can be recognized by the unusual ‘rising’ sun red and white selvage.
