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

[nycsurfer530]

still on the fence about doing the contest, never worn eternals before some sic pics of them though and that price on them is inviting.

[PWNED]

Just paid! Size wise, I went TTS, now it is just a 3 month wait!

[commodorewheeler]

really for 2)? i didnt know that the size could be changed since they were made to measure.

Yes, since any change he is going to make is only one day after preorders close, he should be early enough so that it wouldn't be a problem.

Plus, Gordon told me that there was a good chance that some additional pieces will be made beyond strictly what is preordered.

[daynym]

I think I will order a 33, since this is my skull size. Or do you think I can size down one for a slimmer fit? I fit into a sammie 5000bk 31 if that helps...

[beatle]

nah, 33 sounds about right. If you don't plan on washing a lot, you might get away with a 32. But it will be painful...

[beatle]

btw - fit pic of a pair that's not super tight..just to give you an idea that this works well

[reallypeacedoff]

^ They look punk! Will be longest 4 months ever...

[daynym]

lvc 1947 501 sz 28/29

[chantheman]

get a 28 .

[cmo]

Apologies in advance for the annoying size question..... I wear w34 in Sams and got a w33 in the Warehouse 660. Would a w34 be what I need in these?

[chantheman]

yes 34 will work. 660s run bigger so go with the samurai size

[mr.invincible]

my mistake

i wear my evisu size 29, but i guess it doesnt matter. im a 28

[DoitsuJin]

my mistake

i wear my evisu size 29, but i guess it doesnt matter. im a 28

depends on how you're sizing them, but i would say if 29 evisu is your TTS eternal 28 should be TTS or maybe even a size bigger... i've never tried on eternals before but i have tried the no.1 denim on before and they run a size smaller than tagged post-soak. just going with the eternal measurements on the BiG website i think 28 would be just right for you!

[amardeep]

love u beatle

might have to half-ditch the denime contest to get another pair of 811s here

my old pair worn for a year: http://denimwiki.net/wiki/index.php/811#amardeep

most people are better off sizing tts. e.g., if your waist measures 30in, get a size 30.

[Mr HaGa]

Apologies in advance for the annoying size question..... I wear w34 in Sams and got a w33 in the Warehouse 660. Would a w34 be what I need in these?

I wear 33 in WH660, 35 in s710bk, guess I'd be a 34 in other samurai cuts, I'm leaning towards a 36 in Eternal rather than a 34. My WH660 and samurai are pretty slimfitting though.......

[beatle]

I wear a 30 in the WH660 - and will be getting the Eternals in a 32...my WH are super loose..so I vote 36 as well

[-Z-]

So I went with my skull 5010xx size, 34. Will the top block (other than the waist) be roomier? Looks like it will by the measurements. But I'm debating changing to a 36 for more room, I'm kinda sick of slim / skinny denim.

[Raoul Duke]

is 39 inseam really necessary?!

seems like a bit of a waste to me tbh....

I'm going to hem mine to 36.... 37 is probably sufficient for the majority of short people like me (6 feet)...lol

pretty sure 80% of us will need a hem

It shrinks to around 36" though. I'm 6'3" and I didn't hem.

[chantheman]

Is the Eternal denim still as good as the 10th Anniversary series??

THIS is some really interesting denim. I haven't physically handled any Eternal denim other than these. Will it be like this?

never handled the 10th anniversay denim but the 811 denim isnt streaky like that. im thinking they are completely different denims

[kit99bar]

what does your waist measure where the 710s sit?

I wear 33 in WH660, 35 in s710bk, guess I'd be a 34 in other samurai cuts, I'm leaning towards a 36 in Eternal rather than a 34. My WH660 and samurai are pretty slimfitting though.......

[beatle]

LeicaLad - ur post was confusing..the denim and jeans are posted in the first post = no streaky denim

-Z- 34 will be perfect

[ThinFinn]

so I'm actually thinking of joining this one but not a 100% sure yet...

anyways...I'm wearing a 34 waist in my lvc1944 and in all of my nudies. ain't got other denim to compare to so how should i size these?

looking at the BiG-measurements (after wash!) for these i wanna know how BiG's washing their denim? At what temperature?...

[Scaught]

I'm rocking 710s in size 29 and they fit just the way 710s were supposed to. If I want a bit of a slimmer fit on these would sizing down to a 28 be doable or would I just bust them right open?

[chambo2008]

its not big but eternal washing them ....

[chambo2008]

Scaught, i wear sams ( s0500, s5000bk in a 28) true waist of 30 and getting these in a 29 if thats any help

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I wouldn't care how they washed them. You can just assume that all the shrinkage is taken out. Something you would also achieve after 3 wahses

[beatle]

You will be washing or for that matter soaking them..they come raw. Not one wash. Not by BIG, not by Eternal.

I would recommend a 29..will be a lot tighter than ur sam's
