EVISU No. 2 Selvedge Jeans, Hand-Painted Cream Daicock Seagull, Rope-Dyed Indigo, Made in Japan, W33

Authentic EVISU No. 2 jeans in Japanese selvedge denim, carrying the oversized Daicock gull in cream paint that has cracked and faded through years of wear. Every arc now has its own character, the patina collectors seek, set against rope-dyed indigo beginning to fade.

The Piece

A cornerstone of Japanese denim history: EVISU No. 2 jeans with the legendary oversized Daicock (seagull) print that helped define one of the most influential denim brands in the world. Made in Japan from premium selvedge denim, the pair shows cream-colored hand-painted gulls that have weathered naturally, the paint developing authentic cracking and fading so that each arc is unique while the EVISU identity remains unmistakable.

Understated from the front, the jeans reveal their personality from behind, where the cream Daicock stretches across both rear pockets and descends onto the seat and thighs. The rich indigo has begun to fade attractively around the pockets and whisker areas while keeping deep color through the legs, an excellent base for continued aging. The distressed gulls embody the Japanese view that true beauty develops through use and time.

Founded in Osaka in the early 1990s, EVISU revived traditional Japanese shuttle-loom denim production when much of the world had moved to mass manufacturing. Each seagull mark was originally painted by hand, making every early pair slightly different and highly collectible today, and the Daicock has become one of the most recognizable motifs in global denim culture. Among enthusiasts, naturally aged EVISU jeans are often preferred to unworn examples, because every fade, crease and worn brushstroke records genuine wear.
