So, threads been poppin. On the jeans obviously. I also cut off the pointy part of the inside of the fly. The contest FC's had one just like it and it almost made a hole over time. The denim is darker irl.

So I finally hot soaked my pair bought from the first allotment - size 32 - and my suspicion that I shoulda sized up even more was confirmed. The waist is great narrow thigh just doesn't offer the fit I want. Unworn + just hot soaked now in the 'market,' for anyone still interested...

[Alex3000]

I'm glad this hell of a summer is winding down here in Texas, I can finally wear my Eternals again I think like mid march was the last time I wore em. They look so new still

[xchen]

Giving mine a hot wash/hot dry in hopes they shrink down some. If they don't I'm calling it quits on these.

That's no excuse =) Heavy denim all day here in San Antonio man.

[ah_long]

fuck, I've been dreading this forever.. my left knee is officially worn thru..

should I do an outside or inside patch?

[Solix]

Outside.

Been wearing my jawnz again. I'm officially promising an 11/11/11 update.

[ah_long]

i usually do outside patches, but I'm thinking about doing an inside for this pair.. but then.. it is a high wear area

[beatle]

u could leave it be for another month...

[xchen]

post wash - and they fit now. were way huge before.

[morse9443]

send em' to selfedge for a invisible darned job from Andrew.

^^ that would cut into my worn in time though

[Alex3000]

Well I just tried on my 811's wayyyyy to tight so I don't think I'll be wearing much any more. Should've sized up to a 34.

[cmo]

Thinking of selling my contest jeans... i just never wear them. Tagged w36 prob fit a w34 now. Very little wear. Any interest PM me and i'll put them in the market.
