ETERNAL 811 Contest 10/10/10 - 12/12/12

[joelz]

Thanks guys - the jacket is great and probably will be less than useful in the coming months so I (clearly) need to wear it now... the jeans still rule!

[ThinFinn]

^imo everything rules in this pic...

well done!

[rOeLez]

superb fit and outfit !

[joelz]

damn all - thanks for rep/compliments. Fall is here - that's for sure

[Alex3000]

Holy balls I soaked my eternals again and they shrunk like a mother the thighs are pretty slim now, I'm going to have to hop off my bulking diet In order to fit into these. Everything fits fine but the damn thighs.

[-Z-]

here's the top block at least...i'll get some proper pics after their scheduled month 1 soak in a week or so...

[rOeLez]

3 weeks ...

lots of stiching peels off..

[beatle]

judging by ur 07's these will be extremely worn in by xmas..

[JayFourEyes]

I'm actually refraining from wearing these everyday since they seem to fade so fast. Would like them to stay dark a bit longer. Call me crazy.

[chambo2008]

crazy, might put some everyday wear on these, then wear my momotaro's for weekends and eternal's for weekdays

[blakey]

Damn you guys are smashing them already, I'm still waiting for second preorder (6-8 weeks?). I wish I could wear jeans every day, bloody work!

[ThinFinn]

@roelez:

nice progress for only 3weeks...

it must be the weather which makes your jeans always fade so fast...?!

[morse9443]

That's a scary amount of fading for 3 weeks

[ranonranonarat]

and the stitching is already starting to fall apart?! sounds like we got a fast fader on our hands gentleman and ladies.

[rOeLez]

@tf

well maybe thats the humidity effect ,

i'm not really sure when the stiching peel off but the front pocket stiching is gone at the second week , is it just me or anyone else have experience the same stiching problem with me ?

[Piddan]

^im not in the contest, but ive been wearing a pair of regular 811's for like 8 months now and i havent had a single thread popping loose. or thats a lie, i had to repair a button hole once. ive also repaired the crotch and cuffs, but no yellow stitching has come undone. your jeans look great btw, fading fuckin fast!

[not too tight]

These are definitely the fastest fading pair I've had compared to my 660s or 005s. The stitching on my left pocket has come a little undone but nothing that requires repairing yet. The same thing happened on my other pairs but I never put anything in my front pockets. I had lots of loose warp threads all very the place when I first got them but cut em off after the first soak. The crotch area is what I'm most afraid about, and also the most pain in the ass to repair for me.

[Solix]

I have had experience with both of those jeans before and can say the only reason the Eternal pairs seemingly "fade" faster is because they start off so much darker. The electric blue poking through these is definitely a much starker difference than that of the 005s or 660s because they start off lighter/bluer.

[Jestre]

Whats up electric blues?

[servealoha]

And I thought APCs were fast faders. Love the electric blue guys!

[Alex3000]

God dammit I wish I could wear my Eternals!!!!!

[ah_long]

so much for the pocket silk screen imprint or whatever.. can't even see that anymore... thts the only part of the jeans i'm disappointed about

[rOeLez]

hairy blue..

that sucks. i liked that detail about the pair

[josh mullen]

having seen some pretty funky 811 fits in the past, i've really enjoyed how spot-on everyone's are. definitely makes me miss the pair i sold a little while ago. maybe i'll pick up some new 811s when i get a little extra scratch.

morse & joelz -- perfect.

[Alex3000]

Well its good to say my Eternals fit again, hopping off my bulking diet really helped me get back into these.

[alimenator]

Just finished reading the whole thread, and I really can't wait to get mine after seeing all of your fit pics. hopefully I can start wearing these before 2011 which I doubt will happen as I ordered them today...
