Eternal Jeans

[arem]

I've given up on my 811's. I'm tired of the dumpy diaper ass and high rise.

I'm starting to feel the same way about mine. Especially since I bought mine a little big to begin with. I still wear mine 2-3 times a week and I love the denim but everytime I wear them I'm unhappy with how they fit. I think when my 710BK's come in I may put the 811 away for a while.

[jooles]

yea, those fit much better than my 811's. Isn't the bear's model slightly slimmer?

I've given up on my 811's. I'm tired of the dumpy diaper ass and high rise.

The Bear's model is slimmer than the 811. I had them altered though and they're much slimmer than they came originally. They still have the 'diaper ass' effect, but after much stretching the effect is much less than it used to be. I still don't really like the way they hang though, and the fit certainly isn't modern.

I don't wear them that much for that reason, and I tend to pick up my Raf and Julian Red jeans more often than the Eternals. I even wear my old APCs more often than these.

In fact, my next pair might be APC again (!)... still haven't found a pair that fits me perfectly with fantastic denim. I also really love the Sugarcane Okinawa

haha, it's so funny how we have preceptions that others cant see.

To me jooles, your eternals fit you perfectly.

findmybetterhalf, i'd be interested in a seattle contest. Sent you a pm.

agree with braidkid... kinda why I was thinking about picking up the 864's I believe, the lower rise model. hopefully that might elliminate the diaper ass effect.

[Tiro]

I would def. like a pair of 874's but the length seems to be an issue, I really need a 34" inseam (one wash) and it seems most eternals only go up to a 33"-33.5"...

I just had a look at the 864 model on the Bear's website:

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bears/eternal-864/

It looks like it won't have the diaper ass effect as much as the legs are fairly straight without any hip flare. However, it is ridiculously low-rise - 2 buttons?!?!

[rollups]

Thats crazy!

[rome1]

something like 8.75in on a size 32. yeah it is really loooow.

[gramps]

I just got in a pair of 864s in, though I've yet to pick them up. I too am worried about the low low rise. But we shall have to see. I'll try my best to rustle up a camera so I can take some pictures. You guys may see my dangle.

[monook]

gogo, lets see it.

[jselvedge]

sz 30 normal waist 31. worn for about 15 days.

[kenpark]

^..a lil baggy compare to my 30 o/w...very strange...but i prefer a lil bit loose cause the rise is high....T_T

[ctazza]

The legs look a realy good fit J but I think you should pull them up at the back/wear a belt to get rid of the diaper ass. Other than that looking really good.

[jselvedge]

i didn't measure the waist after the hot soak, but it measured 30" pre soak. they were really tight post soak and 've stretched them back out to about 30.5" now.

yeah, i've come to accept that the diaper ass comes with wearing this cut

[braid]

Those are some nice birthing hips you got there jselvedge :eek:

[ctazza]

My 811's have just gone in for their 11 month wash.... :eek: Will post pics asap

[kjell.wick]

[ctazza]

Ctazza, asap has passed. Post the pics.

Haha..! Sorry its taking a while - a combination of being horribly busy and not having any sun to do some decent pics. I managed to do an ok taster this am just to keep you going...

This is 11 months with 3 machine washes and 1 hot soak. I need to do some more serious repair work on the crotch...

Kjell - those are looking amazing! How long have you been wearing them and number of washes please

[beatle]

Mr. Wick - these look wicked !!

[ctazza]

Finally got round to doing some post-wash photos of my 811's. They have been worn pretty much 6 days a week for the last 11months - 3 machine washes and 1 hot soak.

Enjoy...

I don't know why everyone has a diaper ass problem with the 811. They're classed as 'slim straight.' I had to size up one from 33 so that I could fit the thigh. These aren't cut like Sugarcanes. I think you shouldn't get a diaper ass with this jean if you size down properly. My size 34 o/w.

[braid]

Awesome fit indigo_junkie....you should wear those into the ground.

For me, it wasn't so much about anti-fit as it was the higher rise and hip flare.

[arem]

Those look great now, let's see how they fit once the denim has stretched and settled in though.

[headtowall]

Good fit, indigo_junkie

Opted against a wash, as per everyone's advice. Did however hot soak with a little soap and minimal agitation, then air dried out in the sun. Not much change, creases came back in all the right places.

I think these would look even better after they've settled down. The seat in all jeans sag a little after post wear stretch. I'm expecting it. But if you've major diaper ass off the post soak, fuggheddaboutit. (sorry, Jselvedge, but I think your pair is too big. Try to shrink it further with a proper hot wash. I'm not too familiar with the sizing for the raw version) People might remember my Sam 710s and the journey they went through.
