  1. Buy a size 36 raw, and then soak them based on how they fit. If they're tight right away, just do a cold soak. 811s do stretch a fair amount with time.

    There can be quite a variation in size in the one-wash 811s so you could go through a few pairs before you find one that fits, which is why it's better to get the raw.

  2. looking fantastic miz, and our entire dd+1 team. i'm really proud of how our jeans are looking.

    onto our final leg:

    1. chicken - nyc (8/13-9/9)

    2. almond crush - new jersey (9/10-10/7)

    3. ddml - philly (10/11-11/5)

    4. headtowall - texas, etc (11/8-12/5)

    5. cheep - jacksonvillle (12/10-1/6)

    6. beatle - germany (1/15-2/11)

    7. tg76 - new zealand (2/28-3/26)

    8. tweeds - singapore (4/2-4/29)

    9. ryu - japan (4/30-5/27)

    11. digital denim - san fransisco (6/6-7/3)

    10. red - new jersey/philly/virginia (7/6-8/3)

    12. roflcopterpwnsyou - philly (8/14-9/10)

    13. miz - okinawa (9/22-10/19)

    What's going to happen once Miz is done? Are the jeans going to be displayed at BiG, or are you guys doing another round?

  3. kmw x context any one got update pics of those?

    From the Context thread:

    Here are long awaited images of my pair of the Context Exclusive KMW 1980 Black Selvage. I've received hella questions about fade, stretch, sheen, shine, and color change on these. Pics provide answers. The when new the denim is THE MOST RIGID FABRIC you will find anywhere. Some soak theirs, I did not. I would recommend not soaking. They are sanforized (and thus will shirk almost zero with a soak). The folds and creases will be more pronounced without a soak= better fades.

    2.5 months daily wear. No Wash No Soak. They have stretched one inch in the waist.

    You can see a shine developing. They feel waxy.

  4. I just thinned out my collection to three pairs:

    Samurai s5000vx

    45rpm Sorahiko

    SD-103

    Now I will be able to wear my jeans instead of them sitting in the closet.

    I might pick up a another pair of Eternal 811s in the correct size at some point (I've owned two ill-fitting pairs), but I'm in no hurry.

  5. Cross-posted from the Evo thread:

    I've owned these for 11 months, and they have been worn for perhaps 7 months.

    5 hot washes.

    Pics were taken in indirect natural light with no flash, and the color is pretty accurate.
