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

[Alex3000]

Good to see more people getting their jeans, mine should be back from Gordon next week glad to give my Black Knights a break.

[Farhad]

Wuzzup

1st off thanks for all the kind words. I couldn't be happier with the fit of these jeans. I can see myself wearing them a lot for the next 2 years fo sho.

Beatle gets props for helping me size these

Post Soak Fit

[ranonranonarat]

im actually really glad with this competition even though i havent worn mine yet. to date, i havent seen a bad fit yet and i hardly doubt i will, unless somebody decides to sag theirs like mad. like 1 fist below butt cheek kinda mad. i think this was a great excuse for everyone who wanted a pair of 811s to get a pair and i should like to think that nobody has been disappointed thus far.

for me, these are a big change for me since i've always gone for something with a little more taper from knee down. but looking at these again, they add a little variety to the denim i wear. thanks beatle for organising and of course big big big props to gordon and everyone at BiG. hope hes doing great now after the number of hems hes done for everyone. smaller thanks to eternal for the lack of the missing lemon yellow stitching around the pockets and poorly printed pocketbags.

[beatle]

Farhad - glad the size worked out - judging by your fit pics - perfectly

TVshooter - fit looks really great on you

[stabliu]

yea thanks again for organizing this contest beat, sucks that you'll probably get your pair last

[beatle]

I'm okay with that...2 years...

[crosswound]

wish i gotten in one this when i had the chance maybe the next contest.

[ranonranonarat]

i wonder who are the ones from this board who bought off the extra pairs that gordon had...

[mr.invincible]

so all the extra pairs are sold out?

[shekki]

i called on monday and they said they were still sorting things out.

they have the list of people who purchased and the jeans. i dont get how they dont know how many extra pairs they have by now

[-Z-]

COME ON! I want more fit pics! just to tide me over until tomorrow night when i get to finally take my pair out of the box and soak 'em

[PWNED]

If someone is desperate, I have a pair 29 hemmed to a 34. Since I'm not that satisfied with my fit. Pm me if your interested.

Got some of that electric blue starting to peek. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.

I'm guessing they're sorting out who's already inquired about extra pairs and who gets them first.

[PAUATK]

I really love these.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

Haha, every time I shower and scrub my legs a wave of blue just pours off. Forgot what it was like to have tight, new blue jeans.

[all.gravity]

anyone out there with a 31 willing to trade for a 32?

[morse9443]

What happens to this thread now, revive it in two years?

After pre post soak/initial fit pics, I doubt we'll want to use it as another WAYWT just for contest Eternals... Thoughts?

[joelz]

the LVC contest expects bimonthly (or so) updates .. it could also be a WAYJDT type situation ...

[cord13]

yeah, I figured most poeple would be giving updates and such. progress pics, waywt pics, wayjdt pics etc.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

gotta be honest, kinda pissed about the 811s.

i can't demonstrate muay thai knee blocks or flying knees to save my life. got kicked in the side just because of the stupid tight top block

hello bruised ribs

[tvshooter]

really? i sized up one and my balls are thankin me for it. Denime 66xx are hella tight on the top block. these things are refreshin'.

[aho]

^Was gonna say, SUO and you'd be fine! I personally can't handle tight ass denim anymore...If I can't wear it comfortably all day for any/all activities then I'd rather get another pair to be honest...Hope they end up working out for you though!

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

they look good i gotta say.

but for doin' muay thai at the bar, not so much, haha. Definitely enjoying this new pair w/o a doubt!

[morse9443]

What are you saying, you lost a bar fight because the 811's restricted your movement?

[-Z-]

Well here you go children of earth. #31 officially checking in. Went TTS 34 which might be close to size down 1/2 due to a bit of a weight gain in the past few months...Post soak pictures taken after a 40min. warm soak, spin out the water in the wash. then wear damp to stretch the waist back out some. The fit on these is exactly what I wanted. Slim, but enough room in the top block to move freely without looking baggy at all. a decent sized leg opening with very little taper, and they look great cuffed once or double. The fit is gold, and should soften and stretch to a great comfortable slim fit.

I went unhemmed at 39" on these bad boys, and I'm pretty sure I didn't get the full 3" shrink in the inseam after the short soak. got some leg twist on both legs after they were completely dry, but i see them shrinking quite a bit more over the next 2 years. at this length, they look great with a pretty big cuff and a bit of stacking, or the double cuff which i like to rock with boots...definitely too long to go with no cuff. I might do another soak to get more shrinkage out, but i figure i'll just save that for the first wash since i'm happy with the fit as is.

didn't meter correctly, jeans are correct but everything else is blown way out.

and some of my favorite details...

does everybody else's pair have this much fold over on the coin pocket? because that looks real nice and it will give a great fade line on the selvage.

gotta love the numbers, though the pocket screen print was a bit of a joke.

my first actual RED selvage jean. great stuff!
