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

[ThinFinn]

man those fitpics letting my thoughts (join or not!) almost disappear...thx beats

[beatle]

no probs..If I remember correctly - lilldavid had a pair that was a really nice fit..David - if you read this , can we get ur sizing - advice ? That would be great *

[indigofade]

Nice links. I was going to spend the night clicking through the 'Eternal Jeans' thread to check out some fits pics but the first set of pics from the SF link did it for me. Think I'm going TTS.

[PeterParker]

Fit pics for y'all trying to figure out sizing

Size 32, one-wash (TTS)

Size 31, one-wash (SDO) (already stretched out)

From my experience with these, the fit can vary depending on how you soak/wash them. For TTS, If you hang dry them they should be pretty comfortable in the waist and thighs. If you throw them in the dryer, TTS can fit like my SDO fit above.

For SDO, I think a gentle soak and air dry will yield a fit like the SDO fit above. If thrown in the dryer, they would be very painful.

(My recommendation: go TTS)

My true waist is 32".

FYI, other jeans that fit me:

3sixteen SL-100x, ST-100x (Lot 001), size 30

Iron Heart 9301, size 31

Self Edge x Sugar Cane (SExSC06), size 32

Flat Head 1001, size 31

Naked and Famous Weird Guy Deep Indigo, size 31

Good luck with the contest, everyone!

[reallypeacedoff]

how many has bought and joined so far?

Check the second post of the thread. People "should" PM me when they have ordered and let me know the size you bought and whether you went TTS or SDO etc.

[ranonranonarat]

come on ed, you know you want to buy this.

[not too tight]

thanks for adding those fit pictures beatle! i'm hoping to achieve a super tight fit like the one posted. i've spent my last two nights before bed going through the pages of the eternal thread in anticipation. october can't come soon enough.

[beatle]

lol..not too tight goes for super tight***

[not too tight]

haha yeah well before December when i bought my PBJs i was wearing Levi's 510s for almost 2 years and those things can get tight like i've never felt before. i have a pair of 2005 LVC 1947s which i had to stretch out in the waist but now fit perfectly like a glove, from my experience trying on the 811s at BiG i am aiming to do the same with the contest jeans.

also i have never been good at creating usernames :confused:

I bet Ed is secretly buying 6 pairs, one for him, one for his doggy, one for his collection, one for his backup collection, one for sizing down incase he plans to loose a few kgs, one for sizing up incase he gains a few kgs.

[cord13]

so are these unsanforized or half-sanforized or what? BiG is always kind of foggy about that.

[DoitsuJin]

they come unsanforized

[beatle]

as raw as it gets

[rOeLez]

is this contest pair available on 26 ?

[commodorewheeler]

is this contest pair available on 26 ?

It looks like the smallest size available will be a 28, but if you are genuinely interested in these jeans, I would email Gordon and ask if a 26 is possible.

[rOeLez]

yeah sure i'm thinking for grabbing this pair for my girl

Thanks in advance

[commodorewheeler]

Sorry I wasn't more clear. What I meant to say was, if you are interested, I would advise you to email Gordon to ask him if it is possible.

[beatle]

Seconded..just email gordon and find out..

[Dr_Funke]

Planning on joining this contest since I was already looking into picking up a pair of 811s anyway. I need to find some free time soon to swing by the store and try on some non-contest 811s to be sure of my size. Then I'll be placing my pre-order.

[rOeLez]

yeah just mail him yesterday and the smallest size available is only 28

[beatle]

what size in other jeans does your girlfriend usually wear ?

[rOeLez]

she use 26 skull linda and fit her perfect

[beatle]

oh no - she would need a 27 at least...

[dawei69]

yea, seconded, size up one (at least) from your skulls is the way to go... I sized down to a 30 for skulls, but for eternals i'm getting 32!

[rOeLez]

oow okay , anyway which size should i pick if im using 34 in iron heart and nudie should i pick 36 ?

[reallypeacedoff]

oow okay , anyway which size should i pick if im using 34 in iron heart and nudie should i pick 36 ?

Yes. Go up one from your IH size if you want a "TTS" fit.

[rOeLez]

^

ok , Thanks for your advice ! i'm goin to make an order from big soon

[beatle]

nice ******

[brahgg]

I gotta rep beats for helping get a contest together with the exact pair of denim I wanted and when I had the money. Officially ordered my size 32!
