Eternal 868 10th Anniversary - Arrived!

[khaltire]

will these have a hip flare if I buy them?

anyone pick up a 28 in the 872s? just wondering what the measurements pre and post soak were, and also the leg opening

[ROYLE]

Just picked up a pair of the 872 .. they are pretty amazing .. pics will follow

[ROYLE]

Just curious what is the feeling on the jeans for those that own a pair ?

[mizanation]

Well, after feeling elated that I had scored one of the last known pair of the 868 10th Anniversary Edition Eternals..., well, it seems they've been stolen from the post.

EMS had a tracking number that showed them shipped out super fast, and showed them getting through US Customs and into the black hole known as US APO.

I've had a pair of 5EP stolen, as well as a fine pair of Alden shoes. Added to these, and a few other items, the value I have handed over to postal thieves is really adding up.

I am so thoroughly bummed. Not like it's nice living out here on the Pak-Afghan border, but ordering in cool stuff was a key coping strategy.

I'm sufficiently pissed about such bullsh*t, and a certain amount of other, very real bullsh*t that I have to put up with, that I've decided to leave this black hole of Talistan.

Grrrr. Oh, well. Someone has some fine new Eternal jeans. It just ain't me.

damn, LL. i feel for you, brother.

is it possible to use military shipping for next time?

[Chicken]

that ain't right, leica.

some truly f*cked up sh*t. it's obviously done by people who don't even understand the emotional values to these items. because if they did, they couldn't do this to someone living far away from home.

[Mike...]

those are so beautiful

Thanks, guys.

Actually, APO IS the bl**dy military shipping. The pilferage rate is apparently very high. I've just been ordering the stuff that is among the easiest to flip for real $$ on the black market.

Oh, well. The Eternals were just an impulse buy. Zipanga treasures was fresh and hot and he had great prices. AND, he had what seemed to be the very last pair of the 10th Anniversary pair in my size. No bad rep to him, tho. The EMS tracking saw it out his door by the next day.

I can tell I was really pissed. Usually I write Talibanistan, and I cut it to Talistan. Ha.

Anyway, thanks for all the grins guys. Back to the thread(s)

[k3mistry]

Thats crappy dude... so sorry abt it..

Quick question for owners of the 868 or 872: After the soak do you have any leg twist going on?

[john11f]

just in case anyone's interested, found this on ebay:

gah. my size. why does thou tempt me so!

[headtowall]

gah. my size. why does thou tempt me so!

My size as well, and on the same day my 872s arrive. I'm happy with what I've got though.

[headtowall]

I hot soaked these for 2 hours then let them dry outside, then put them on when they were still a little damp and have basically lived in them since.

I'm happy with the fit, and I think it will get better as the denim softens up with wear and eventual washes.

[edmond]

those are so beautiful man.. nice choice!!! i want one!!

[emaze]

These and those Oni's natural indigos are the two pair I wish I had.

[justinbaily21]

headtowall- the fit on those is perfect. Just spot on. The denim is beautiful.> I hope I see you somewhere around DC or VA. You would be hard to miss!

[viv1984viv]

They look really really good man, super nice drape on em. You must be happy, I havent worn mine much but when I do, I really start loving them, they have a great fit. Very ergonomic fit ( i know this sounds dumb, but in contrast to the pbjs they are ergonomic! ). I think they are quick faders too.

John - 330usd - shit, i wonder how much they will fetch...

Kahltire - Yup these have a touch of hip flare, I wear em high at the same spot as I wear my sc40500's, but they look great, as headtowalls pics have shown, they dont look oldman like. On my 30s the hem is a touch over 8" about 20.5 cm...... rep me if this helps! Ha.

[headtowall]

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys.

Definitely agree with you on the comparison to PBJs, Viv. After those, I needed to get something with a more generous fit, and these definitely fit the bill.

As for quick fading, we'll see. XX-005s are on hiatus until I get around to doing some repairs, so there's nothing to stop me from trashing these, except maybe the heat.

[beatle]

And agreed ..nice fit ...congrats on a beautiful piece of denim...

[Guest jeffvyain]

awesome fit, beautiful denim. kinda trippy looking at those.

[40ozprophet]

Well, its been said many times, but they are just fucking amazing. the streakiness is out of this world. congrats!

[beatle]

Bored..felt like posting some..

[giantreptile]

these look like the oni 19 oz shoai

[bonanz]

has anyone made any 'progress' on these yet? I'm really torn between getting these or some fullcount 1108's...These are so new though there's no wash results or fades...AHHH I can't buy both...that will put me in the "too many jeans, too little time" category...

[beatle]

You might want to throw a quarter...

2 jeans that are completely different.

Regular smooth verses crazy streaky,,,,

Also fit wise...

I just have the feeling that you might have a chance to snatch a Fullcount anytime - like say 3 years from now..

Which is what I'd doubt about the 872...

[Sais]

Yeah those joints are nice

Thanks beatle, I think I'd like the 'variety' of the streakiness...but the fullcounts are nice and lighterweight for summer possibly and I've seen some fantastic fades on them.

hmmm. what's the consensus on these? buy your normal waist size? or size down a little?

[beninparis]

regarding the FC 1108, size down one size and you'll be delighted with the fit (it's a solid 66 cut i.e straight on the slim side)

check this thread for more feedbacks:

personally, i think these are a really nice fucking paair of jeans that you wont regret (as long as they're not tight you'll be fine with them this summer... )

btw 872's are desirable; probably my next catch for winter 08

Yeah I searched that 1108 thread, and I probably wouldn't size down as ayn's fit is more slim than I'd like.

back to eternals, has anyone with some wear on them have any input on how they stretch?

Co-sign. The denim is beautiful!
