[laxlife1234]

That is an insane pair of jeans. Hands down one of my favorite pairs on SuFu.

[pepper davies]

So today is the half way point! Keep it going everyone!

I heard eternal will be looking for a vintage, low contrast fade. ah-long better start washing frequently.

I'm with morse - vintage fade is def what the Japanese go for. Just look at the winner of the warehouse contest. A sleeper is gonna win this.

[tvshooter]

my personal preference is something in the middle ground. with that said, i'd love to see some over the top Eternal fades! btw, i'm out. if anyone wants a pair sz 34, pm. will be on the market later this week.

[morse9443]

Sucks to see all these construction issue's with the BiG 811... my 883's are a tighter fit then most of the 883 fits here but have only needed very minor at home crotch repair.

[BrownMetallic]

pure cotton thread construction__ it's the nature of the beast , its weakness is also its beauty... embrace the flaw.... or do preventive reinforcement/maintenance.

btw, with regards to construction, i think, Momotaros are up there with SDAs & the likes. my 701s gave the least maintenance due to thread breakage, imo, they're using one of the toughest, if not the toughest, pure cotton thread around.

[JacoBlue]

These are a few months back

Here they are compared to my ooe & yofukuten

Some awsome chambrey crouch repair!

Maxima!

And this is what they look like today.

i'll get some photos up in a week or two. gave my pair a warm machine wash and took some measurements. thought i'd share just for reference. they've had 2 initial soaks, 1 soak after 4.5 months, 2 hand washes, one cold machine wash, and one warm machine wash.

measurements are - raw / post 1 soak / post 2 soaks / post 4th wash (current):

waist: 18.75 / 18.125 / 17.875 / 18

Frise: 12.5 / 11.875 / 11.5 / 11.25

Brise: 16.5 / 16 / 16 / 16

Inseam: 35 / 33.5 / 32.75 / 32.75

Thigh: 13.5 / 13.25 / 13 / 12.75

Knee: 9.75 / 9.5 / 9.5 / 9.375

Hem: 9.25 / 9 / 8.75 / 8.625

front rise and legs have have continued to slim down slightly. they feel a lot tighter across the hips, and hip flare has gone way down, but i never measured across the lap. surprised the inseam hasn't shrunken more. the waist too, but that stretches and shrinks back and forth more than anything else.

New Update with a better camera, Pics are moore true to color

What do you think? Will they look better in one more year?
