Is this site legit?

http://www.evisu.uk.com/

my son wants some jeans from this site but although at first it looks like the uk site for the Evisu brand, I cant find a address, return address and it only has a yahoo email address.
Has anyone used it before or can someone have a look and tell me what they think?
If it paid for my credit card would we be covered?

    Well at first glance it looks ok but the 1 thing that puts me off is how they spelt shipping on the bottom, they have spelt it "free shiping".

    And the yahoo email address is anothre no go, well it is for me, surely a website owner can have an email address eg @EVISU.co.uk. Maybe see if theres another site to buy from or maybe ebay but use a reputable seller.

    Read the website introduction and enjoy the mangled English. No way is that a legitimate site.

    i believe legit sites have to have a form of contact but im not sure whether a phone number is a definite must, you usually tell fro the badly worded english, you might get an odd mistake on a legit site but not numerous one

    the intro as Niall says is full of garbled english

    I think you're wrong there NiallB, I don't think it's sushi, more like a prawn chow mein. :)

    I agree it's fake, but well done for being sensible and thinking to check first.
