Eternal Jeans

[norbertr]

had my eternal 811's for about a year and 3 months and im a little apprehensive about my first wash (my first wash of any jeans at that), they've had 2 soaks one pre-soak and one hot. will post up pics in the morning but this is gonna be my first time washing them any suggestions? i got a couple of packets of samurai soap 'cause they're organic and was apprehensive about woolite or any liquid detergents. pointers? should i wash em in the tub or stick em in the machine. effects of both? thanks

They're just pants, indigo-dyed pants, so I'll make this easy for you.

1. Turn them inside out.

2. Put them in washing machine.

3. Add some simple vegetable soap*

4. Turn washing machine on.

5. Hang out to dry.

*This is the only valid point of concern about the whole process. Basically, any simple vegetable soap will do: castille, Dr Bronners, Samurai Thunder Soap, Sugar Cane soap... etc. You can even use regular washing detergent but this is frowned upon due to the softeners/brightners/whiteners that are typically present in modern commercial detergents.

eternal 883

[bulldogskoleff]

^ those are a great fit, I wish they started carrying 883's at BiG

[BubbleTeaJelly]

teaser phone pic for now =)

[itschad]

probably about 5 months of actual wear on these

[l1mab3an]

So I went into big and asked for the eternal 811's. I got all fitted and left with a pair of one wash size 32's. I now look at the tag and it says No. 883. Did I leave with a pair of 883's or 811's!

Great fit Joddicted

I think the answer is in the question. Are you happy with the fit?

[l1mab3an]

Yes, I am I was just wondering what the exact differences between the 2 cuts was.

[chambo2008]

taper from the knee down, i own a pair very nice slim cut

[matta823]

is the thigh a lot smaller on the 883? i have a pair of sz31 811 and the thigh is perfect how would the thigh/knee/leg opening differ on a sz32 883?

[Guest nooblet333]

Nice itschad fades coming in pretty nicely.

not sure would have to check, i have 811 in a 28 and 883 in a 29 will do fit pics etc in a few days!

883's are slimmer in the leg; a "Tight-Straight" cut, if you will. 811's are a "Regular Straight" cut, similar to a 501 fit. When I bought my 883's in Tokyo, thats how it was explained to me. My copy of the Lightning Denim Buyer's guide explains it the same.

When I tried them on, I found the thigh was relatively the same in 811's and 883's...It's down at the knee and below where the 883's taper. (Also, the One-Wash Eternals will still slim up on you if you give them a hot soak/wash. Not a tonne, but it'll happen. Keep that in mind if you stick with the 883's.)

Hope this helps.

[l1mab3an]

The denim is the same as the 811's though correct?

[chambo2008]

yup correct (10char)

[l1mab3an]

What do you guys think about the fit, good or should I size down one more? 883's size 32 o/w

[not too tight]

I think that fit looks pretty good. The denim is definitely going to shrink a bit more after another wash/soak.

[l1mab3an]

I am hoping, although the blue in green employee said they had already been industrial washed and that I should not expect much more shrinkage.

they'll definitely shrink after a wash. ive got the 811 ow and especially the inseam shrunk substantially after a couple of washes.

[aaronxxx]

i wish they sold those on the website. that fit is dope.

[bulldogskoleff]

Wait, BiG has the 883 in-store? Sorry if this has been answered already.

[matta823]

limabean if those 883s don't work out for you and you can't exchange them hit me up. but honestly the fit looks alright but the angle isn't that great

[CJsmalls]

shameless plug

pair of new sz 33 883 o/w for sale $230 shipped worldwide, check sig if interested

[l1mab3an]

Yes apparently big does have the 883. I was trying on 811's when one of the assistants brought up the 883 and neither of us realized it I don't think. But the fit ended up being much more to my liking and I noticed on the way home that the tag said 883 lol.
