Eternal Jeans

[louisbosco]

just got back from tokyo and copped the eternals 883 from americaya in ueno.

alongside my mates pbj 24oz 005.

fit pics of the eternals 883. trying a lesser weight denim in a long time.

from the photos i find the hips looking weird. but the fit much better compared in real life. but anyway love this new pair.

^Are they one-wash? If so, they look about 2 full sizes too big.

they are one wash though. but still my first time on eternals after looking at them for awhile.

^ kinda weird that your 883 fits this way. gotta agree with BD.

yeah. feel that way after seeing the back fit pics. mind sharing some 883 fit pics anyone? i'd probable give it some wear and see how it settles.

how much does the inseam shrink on 811s?

[shinobi2000]

those are 811s chambo? wow, how did you get away with not having to deal with the infamous hip flare? Those look perfectly snug.

[chambo2008]

nah, i was throwing up fit pic's of the 883, my 811 fit a little bit loser

[ThinFinn]

fit looks spot on though!

back in the fall, i posted a comparison of my LVC 47s and 710s at 200 days. after those photos were taken, both pairs went into the wash and the eternal contest started. i decided to treat my 811s the same way to see how they compared. the 47s and 710s got a few wears here and there over the past 8 months, and now all 3 pairs have lined up: initial soaks, second soak at 133 days wear, washed at 200 days, worn 10 days after. 210 days / 7 months on each pair.

these photos, like the last set, were taken midday under overcast sky (no adjustments):

(LVC top, 710 left, 811 right)

(L to R: 811, 710, LVC)

(best depiction of color / texture)

(L to R: LVC, 710, 811)

aside from possible differences in activity levels (may have hiked / biked / skated a little more in some pairs than others), the only difference is the 811s were hand washed with bronners and the other two were washed together in a machine with detergent.

you can clearly see in the photos that the LVC are lightest and 811s darkest, which seems contrary to popular opinions on here. granted, the LVCs were probably lighter when raw than the 811s, but it's still plain to see they are not particularly "slow faders" as people call them. in the eternal contest thread, a lot of people have been saying that these are fading fast... i think that is deceptive because they have faded quite a bit and signs of fading started early, but the denim is dyed so deeply that they are still far darker than the other pairs.

hope you all enjoyed this little study. i'll see if i can get some fit pics...

[shinobi2000]

beautiful, I am indeed surprised that the Eternals are darker than the 710s

x post from evolution thread:

Ok so this may not be the most dramatic of evo pics but they do show progress in the true sense of "evo" posts. Thought I'd share because Eternals were the first brand that got me into denim and I always thought they had the most beautiful fades. I finally own a pair now and I"m thrilled at their progress

from May:

and now from today with a bit more committed wear:

electric blue coming out at unexpected wrinkles here and there, these scratch mark-like wrinkles (on the right below the beginnings of the honeycombs) appeared on my calves somehow

hard to capture the actual blue but this is the most accurate far:

what is the most popular type from eternal guys?

and what is their official website?

Thank You

Awesome! Had no idea they opened a boutique in Taipei. I wonder if that means Summit no longer has the rights to carry Eternal.

Anyway, just looked it up. For those of you who read Chinese:

Flynn's -- the Eternal website is http://www.maeno.co.jp/eternal/. A quick look on this thread will tell you that the 811 is by far the most popular model.

Accidentally took a picture of my thigh at a party the other day, so... here's a rather worthless shot of my 872s

[technique]

I guess you can call this a teaser since they developed my film in b&w for some reason...will eventually take color photo's once I develop the next roll of film
