Eternal Jeans

[>++fishb0neR]

864s (x-post from Evo thread)

These were O/W

wrinkles and creasing were visible when purchased, but in no way has affected the wear on these...

especially after months of wear/a few soaks/washes

People tend to make bigger deals out of things...considering how the denims end up long-term

These are ~2 years old (on/off wear for most...daily recently) and are still tough as nails..I do hang dry, and I think I will keep doing so.

edit: I did a lot of machine washing/drying with my warehouse 660's and the wear/color loss is considerable after a long period of time.

I reckon if you want to keep more indigo, hang drying isn't a bad way to go (I'm no expert though)

No. Never. Under no circumstances may you modify the jeans you purchased. You will be extradited to Japan and forcibly compelled to commit harakiri.

with all due respect.... I dont see any light in this "special technique"... by all means i do pretty much the same thing (without trying or boasting about it)....what's the big deal? I have very wrinked versions one washed fob factory, 45rpm, Sams and i dont see how it makes them so "insane" just because they are hanged dry...

I cant believe you a Hyping over hanged dried crinkles....

I get ya. Totally. I mean, we could both really do this at home too, just with a soak and a hang-dry in our own backyards.

Not saying it makes them more 'special', or anything. Just that if anyone gets them in this o/w state, they should expect an uncomfortable first few days. They're really crinkled and crunchy as hell.

My 883s came o/w.

After about a week still quite rough! Wish the rise was a bit higher (coin pocket way too close to waistband and pocket bags tiny compared to 811)

but I'm liking the cut more and more every day

^ fit pics plz!

[>++fishb0neR]

fit pic.

i've lost some weight (as you can see by the belt,) and they've started stretching, so they are a nice low, baggy fit now

[LC_Miey]

^^ fuck yes. Thanks for the fit pics.

[arcanum]

hey guys, how is the stretching of eternal 872 streaky denim ? should i downsize or stay true to size (cuz they only come in even sizes =/)

[DrMoBueno]

only a couple more days for details and thread...

cocktease.

They don't stretch much if at all. I would really go true to size. I had to size up on mine (Really wanted a 33 and was scared of a 32 so I ended up with a 34). After really being worn in and washed they actually ended up shrinking quite a bit so it really didn't matter that I had sized up. The denim is very heavy and coarse. I would not recommend going for a slim fit with them. I used mine as pure work-wear.

Would rep but can't again. Awesome fit, FishboneR. That's my goal...

Just a little iPhone update. Had these since Christmas, so we're lookin a little over 3 months. Slow and steady.

looks good. that crotch looks to be a problem in the future, though

[Quinnskimo]

stop looking at my crotch! I think they'll be fine for a good long while. Probably a deceiving photo, but yea, that's where to greatest amount of wear is so far. I will be sure to reinforce it when necessary.

[chris_n]

quinn: which cut are these? they're going to turn out great!

[tigerformula]

I've got a pair of some eternal chinos if anyone's interested check my sig.

[Quinnskimo]

they're 811s. can't see the hip flare when i'm sitting down

[aho]

beatle, the wait is killing me!

[beatle]

sorry**********but until Gordongives green light for the thread the wait continues

[chris_n]

ffffff, saw a post by beatle and got excited for no reason. (i won't be participating, but i love watching eternal evo)

[mlyngard]

Why not, Mister Moneybags?

[chris_n]

haha! u got jokes!

[salaami]

it's common knowledge that machine-drying will make for softer denim. i've machine dried my contest joints like 10 times and they most def are softer after a hot dry usually between 60-90 minutes. i just steam iron them if they crease weird(blasphemy i know sue me. ''oh no he didn't''). eternal's one-wash is just a hang dry in the sun, but it IS different from denimes one wash. i don't really prefer one or the other. whether i machine dry or hang dry depends on how much time i have that day.

as for the eternal BiG contest i'm really thinking about joining up. the price should be lower than the $255 gordon charges for the eternals he has now(i guess), and i've always wanted a pair of 811s. i know i'm in the denime contest but no arrogance intended i fade denim rather fast, plus i'm in it out of respect for hayashi-san, not really for the win despite some cats considering me a shoo-in. so if i get enough tax $$$ im in. you heard it here first. beatle is part of this, that's enough for me...i love jersey girls

[pragmatics]

Speak for yourself. I'm getting antsy over here.

[mlyngard]

New 811s and I went to the Philly/Japan Society annual Cherry Blossom festival today. Beautiful girls, flowers and spring sun.

Thought you guys could use some springtime fun. Some fit pics included to justify this silly post...(no denim sightings worth noting...)

[chris_n]

good pick on the sizing matt, curiosity, what length did you hem them to? 31?
