^^^ they're fine. unless you're 5'4 or something. higher than apc ns, lower than sugarcane okinawas, all around a good rise for a slim jawn.

[SwedeAlex]

-Z-: Great fit, LOVE the jeans but the shirt is insane! Dope dope dope fit! I hate myself for not entering the Eternal contest! The denim seems to be very very nice and already showing some good evo-signs as well!

Looking forward to your 2 month update...

[-Z-]

Lol, thanks! And I take it that's a, "holy shit that shirt is bright kind of insane?" Haha, its very warm...and bright. But its one of my favorites so it gets alot of wear.

[_Kai_]

Can any short people (<5'7") comment on the rise of these things? I know it's kinda high, but I decided to risk it anyways. It's the only thing I got qualms about tbh.

Great evo btw everyone!

im 5'4 and i dont have much of a problem with the rise, it is true what the poster above said about the rise being less than okinawas, and a little more than s5000bks.

heres a fit pic from first day if it helps.

...I am 5'4", haha. But judging from kai's fit pics, I feel a bit better about it. Kai, does the ass balloon out in the back though? Thanks for the fit pic btw. What size are you wearing? And what did you hem to?

[Farhad]

I haven't forgotten about the eternal contest

[ranonranonarat]

what a fantastic picture and location. it almost made me want to pretend that i dont know who you are and havent seen you in my entire life, so i can save it as a screensaver and put it in my phone.

i hope i win still though.

i went true to size. there is a little bit of ballooning but id say it gets better as you wear and the denim get less stiff, i dont pay it much mind in the end anyway. if your really that worried about it id say size down, i feel like i could have but i wanted a straight cut/loose. I hemmed to a 35 to get a 32 inch inseam, could have easily hemmed to a 33 or 32 to get a 30 or 29 in post soak hem.

[GupNasty]

totally. I actually want a straight cut and am super glad to see your fit pic. i ordered a size 29 too and am gonna hem to a 35 as well. good stuff. we'll practically have identical pairs, hah. thanks for the input man.

and farhad, everything about that picture is awesome.

[beatle]

badass farhad - love it

[laxlife1234]

Farhad- that is one hell of a picture!

[Farhad]

Thanks guys. Here's the real one which I shot yesterday. I guess I can post it here since I was wearing my eternals when I shot it.

[You Ren]

Farhad - your photos are amazing! That rock formation is amazing. Where was the shoot location?

I'm starting my own tea website soon. My search for the best tea in China required me make a trip to Wuyishan, in Fujian province - home of the famous rock oolongs or "yan cha"

Took my BR MA-1 & my contest eternals with me.

The winding forest path takes you through steep rock canyons and valleys with the occasional tomb raider relic

Here we are at the base of the "heavenly path peak"

Climbing the stairway to heaven. Despite the cold, the steep stairs had me sweating. Stripped down to my shirt by the time I got to the top.

View from the top. Sunnies are AO, a present from Shangers wedding

This is what I came for... those bright green leaves in the foreground are camellia sinensis, otherwise known as tea! With landscape this beautiful, it's no wonder the oolong from this part of China is the best! This particular varietal is "rou gui" 肉桂

Me pretending to be farmer. Actually my ancestors worked the land in Fujian, so it's probably in the genes haha

Noticed a nice little leg burn on my Eternals when I got back to the bottom. Thank you Wuyishan!

(X-posted from the WAYJDT thread)

By the way, I hand washed my 811's today so expect some post-wash pics soon!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

what a great update YouRen! Fascinating landscape and great pictures

[SwedeAlex]

@YouRen: Vey nice pics, beautiful landscape and the sunnies come in handy I can see!

[Farhad]

You ren- thanks that was in Vasquez rocks just outside of LA.

I Love tea and enjoyed your post. Cheers!!!

[tvshooter]

You Ren! wow! massive pic's! can i come to visit??? where to kop tea?

on another note- i can see the indigo jumping off of these jeans! my hands turn blue everytime i wear these. my fades, seriously, gonna be insane, and i'm not even tryin to get fades.

[-Z-]

look at all that blue coming through...having never actually worn a pair everyday, from when I wake up to when I go to bed, these are fading so damn fast. they're where my skulls were at after 4 or 5 months of on and off wear...two years is a long, long time. but I'm glad these impress on the short term as well. can't wait to see how they change as they get washed and worn for another 22.5 months
