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

[inquire]

got a new number...no longer 9, but..

[tvshooter]

what the fuck happened to the pocket silkscreening? denim soaked it up? shit looks white on the sample pair. looks horrible IMO. . .

[brahgg]

10-4. Unfortunately, I doubt I will be getting these babies until after the contest starts. Oh well, looks like I'll be adding a month after the 12122012?

Looks like I'll be right there with you Cents. I feel bad for Gordon and the mountains of emails he's inevitably getting about these not being in yet.

[kayla.]

^first or second batch? You in NYC, you go pick them up?

im actually in chengdu right now, family shipped it to me.

i think it's first batch.

[reallypeacedoff]

I think sidneylo sized down 2, and my balls hurt just looking at the pictures:

Did he ever post post soak pictures? I went through like 10 pages after that post and couldn't find anything. Wondering if he quietly sold them due to loss of testicles...

That's why I asked here. Don't want to be THAT person. Got my answer. An unfortunate answer but out of every bodies control as of now except those damn Custom dogs:

Hurry the fuck up puppies!

[cord13]

no wonder we can't get our fucking jeans

plagiarizer!

[not too tight]

^^maybe he is paying homage to a good thought/idea/picture?

I still have worn mine yet, just tried on after soaking. I will start though on 10/08 cause I am traveling and don't really want to fold them up in a book bag while they are so crisp. Sucks about the wait for the jeans but good thing this is a 2 year contest.

Maybe they changed the bag material too. On my buddy's pair the pocket bags don't appear that dark at all.

Duh!

10 char

[beatle]

the wait is killing me...I might not get these before November...grhhh

[thedoad]

yeah the initial wait was no big deal but now its a bummer. No harsh feelings to BIG Nothing they can do. Plus My 5000vx are starting to break really well and Its going to be a shame that they are too big and need to be put away when the 811's come in.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

Hm, in respect to those who haven't received theirs yet, I decided to repair my Sugarcane Okinawas and will be wearing those until the last person receives their 811s.

Repair pics to follow.

[beatle]

so you will wait for me....good to know...

[reallypeacedoff]

^^ Awesome!

[Alex3000]

Well my Black Knights could always use some more wear, look like we're shooting for November-ish start date?

[mikecch]

I love the denim fabric they used for the pockets, it's very soft..

does anyone know if Eternal makes a T-shirt or anything with that denim material?

I have something from Eternal's 'Kura' line which I think is similar, but I've never actually seen those pocket bags in person.

[ThrusH]

After watching this thread for a while, and seeing the measurements for the jeans this morning, I regret not having entered myself. Oh well. I'll be rooting everyone on from the sidelines.

[ah_long]

It's a different material, the pocket bag us actually a very very soft denim

[reallypeacedoff]

^ That shirt almost looks like corduroy.

I really hope Customs actually allows these into the country. I missed the first batch of SEXIH07BK, but managed to snag a pair 3 months later as unbeknownst to everyone apart from Kiya, Customs had held part of the batch up, and if i remember correctly, sent them back to Japan to get "fixed up" (whatever that means). I hope this doesn't happen with our Eternals.

[morse9443]

I just called BIG and politely inquired, second shipment should be released this week. Fingers crossed..

[reallypeacedoff]

*applause (10)

[JayFourEyes]

Then maybe the wait will soon be over. I've got a huge urge for new jeans now, sitting here with a now not so comfortable waist of my FCs. If had gotten an early pair I wouldnt have waited for anyone. I just wanna get them, double soak them and wear them.

The built up need for something new made me order a new pair of sneakers the other night. When I did it I thought I would wear them for the first time with the Eternals.

how mayn soaks?

[DoitsuJin]

one one hour soak in hot water. not sure if i should do another :x

[chambo2008]

yeah maybe.. gonna do anouther hot soak on mine then hem to about 34/35 so i'll have some denim left over for repairs

[kino]

got mine last friday, did 2 hot soaks but didnt really shrink much so i chucked it in the washing machine with cold water. shrunk a little bit more, will throw fit pics later today i am number 12 now

[Oldswag]

Went backpacking for two days, just got back.

Not sure what to think on the fit, wished they were a more fitted in the thighs and booty (2 washes and dries), but I trust the cut.

Some P&S pics from the trip

Edit: just realized that none of these pics really show the fit on me...

[joelz]

One cold soak and one hot soak

[-Z-]

fuck yea. getting really excited for these now that i'm seeing real life fits...
