try giving your jeans a wash if you want more shrinkage

[beatle]

Gordon is in Japan - and he forgot to shut the pre order site down...so if you still want in....

[Oldswag]

waist shrank to 14.8, good stuff

What's your secret? two machine washes and ended up with 15 inches

Is Gordon over there overseeing the creation process, and ensuring my jeans won't arrive too big?

[beatle]

possibly......I think he just had a ticket that he needed to use before the end of the year

[kit99bar]

lol

The tiny .2 inches could be slight variance from Jean to Jean or even you and beets measuring differently.

Tagged 32 - after hot soak and 60C hot wash

Waist 15

Thigh 10.8

In other words - they pretty much shrank down to a tagged 30....

Great fit!

I really dig the fit of the top block!

lower half will just get better when the denim softens up

[joelz]

^ seconded - that's a crazy amount of shrinkage! Looks good tho

[beatle]

Thanks, I am pretty happy I was able to shrink them down this much...

[aho]

beets, you planning on cuffing? I remember you saying you like stacks but those would look spectacular with cuffs!

[cmo]

Have they been hemmed??

[GupNasty]

Those fit pics give me so much reassurance in picking the larger size of the two I'm in between. Glad to know they can shrink THAT much.

sure if you wash them in 60C water

i'm a little tempted to do the same

[ranonranonarat]

glad they shrunk up enough for you beat! you were literally drowning in those pre-wash!

[kino]

yeah glad that it worked out for you beats! nice relaxed fit i agree with aho that you should try cuffing

[arcanum]

i didnt know eternal 811 shrink this much, even more than evisu no1 !!

[Farhad]

beatle- looks way better I'm glad I picked 32 as well. mine definitely has room to shrink.

[not too tight]

Beatle is right about these being fast faders, I compared the cut off hems today to the leg and it is already a bit lighter only after a bit more than 2 weeks of wear. I'm glad you got your pair Beats before November, even if it is only by a few days.

[beatle]

Thanks for ur kind words...I am not sure if I will wear them cuffed - gonna decide once I really start wearing them. Black year till 12/18 - which I washed at 60 last night as well..

[ipkus.]

my 811's finally over the 2 year mark....posting pics sooon

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

^^^ wait what we just started man, way to jump the gun!

[Farhad]

call me crazy, but the only person that needs to see a shot of your crotch is your significant other;) I woke up with a hangover this morning and that didn't help

[stabliu]

My 811s cimbed to the top of montserrat yesterday, pics to come.when I get back to the states.

[shekki]

how do these stretch after soaking and wearing? is there much give or do they pretty much shrink and stay

[Solix]

They have just enough for the dudes who want to size down be able to fit in them. Waist is cut pretty tight though so there's gonna be some pain.
