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

[beatle]

Thanks ! and glad that timing worked out perfect for you...

[reallypeacedoff]

^ Yeah thanks beats!

Contestants are coming along nicely. Keep it coming.

Link to contestants list.

[chambo2008]

you haven't got beatle's name down......

[reallypeacedoff]

She told me she was getting a 32 SUO but I'm not sure if that is still the plan?

[-Z-]

Really jacked for this to start! but bummed that it starts 4 months from today. Not enjoying the wait!

I was thinking It would be sweet if Eternal took photos of the production of the special contest pair...I know id love to see them in action. Then we could put together a lifelong documentary of the jeans. Kindof like, this jean started here (factory) in the summer of '10, then a montage of evo pics, videos, wayjdt, etc...and ended up like this (insert winning / completed pairs) in winter '12. I know id invest some time in this, it would be world tour-ish but might be cool for a contest too.

Thoughts? May be impossible, but personally I think it would be sweet.

[thedoad]

It sounds like a good idea for sure. At the very least, who would not want to see pictures of them getting made?

[beatle]

I'll forward the request to Gordon..would be great to see some production pics.

Yeah, sou - sized one up for me , 32

[TallyHo]

many thanks to beatle! for not running polls. for handling all the legwork. for making everything very simple for the rest of us. forget about all the squabbling and criticisms - this will be the best contest since the samurai 0500!

i just pre-ordered my pair - 36 TTS. my first contest.

realized the other day that i'll be 27 when this starts and 30 when it ends! really puts things in perspective... i hope i have the resolve for this.

[beatle]

Thanks for ur kind words..really appreciated...

Yap, 2 years is a long time. Fades should be really really great.

[pragmatics]

Another great thing about a contest for two years is, if you just bought a pair you really want to break in first or you're a 9 to 5 kinda guy, you can still get in on it. Even if you can only get started 6, 8, 12 months in, you can end up with a great pair.

[Oldswag]

TTS here, looking forward to participate

Will be wearing these RJB's in the meantime

[reallypeacedoff]

This thread hasn't even been open for 2 weeks and already it feels like months...

/ sigh

[beatle]

LOL...that's how this goes..once October and the jeans are rolling in you will get a whole new thread for pics only....time is gonna fly by, no worries

[ThinFinn]

so guys. here are some eternal811...thx to aztec for sending me these in case of sizing obscurities!

my normal waist-size in nudies and lvc1944 is a w34. these are w33.

how do they fit?

should i go tts or sdo (like in the pics below!)?

how is the "stretch-factor" on the contest-pair?

eternal w33 (sized down one!):

top block+thighs is a tiny bit too tight atm. last button was a bit hard to close but that's it. crotchrip could happen...

cheers!

(plz NO REPS! for this post weither plus- nore neg.-reps!), just asking for help!...

[DoitsuJin]

I say 34 - your big thighs are usually capitalized in most of your fits and it seems no different in this one

[Raoul Duke]

Size up at least one. Maybe go to the 36, which is really like a 35.

Will there be extra stock for those who want to make a game time decision in October? I have absolutely no need for a new pair of jeans, but I always love the spirit of a contest.

[Mr HaGa]

Yeah that fit don't look good. Size up. That's what I'm doing.

Thanks for posting though, good frame of reference for whoever needed one.

[beatle]

Mr HaGa - nice to know ur on board****

[pragmatics]

There have been for both other BiG contests. But, be warned, there is a markup over preordering.

[rOeLez]

just make an order for 36 TTS this morning

[beatle]

Congrats..judging by ur IH ur in it for the win...

[rOeLez]

hahaha no there's must be lots of fun compete with other people around the world

[brahgg]

Oh damn, Mr. HaGa and TF are in? There goes the neighborhood. This contest is blowing up in the best way possible.

[morse9443]

I'm going to BIG next weekend to re-confirm my size and pulling the trigger right before the cutoff date:). The extra details + the great price point are too good to say no, contest aside...

[efujobu1]

Just ordered my pair. Weekend warrior steez for me..hoping to get good enough results in 2 years. =)

[stabliu]

are these denim being numbered or is the numbering in the list purely for the contest?

[chantheman]

contest purpose

[stabliu]

just put my preorder in 34w tts

im also a desk jockey. i can wear denim at work, but im mostly at a desk still. hopefully i'll be running around the plant more to get better fades come competition time.

[ThinFinn]

@brahgg: i don't really know a 100% cuz i have to see if I'm going to have the money after a one week trip to tunesia...

[rOeLez]

come on Raf just like last time haha
