Hey sid, how are your 811's doing actually?

[sidneylo]

They make me feel like I'm wearing pants for preggers lady…aka I love them. I've gone easy on them but I'm wearing them more now that I have a good set of boots.

@ dino how long have you had those 811's (i'm assuming)

[dino might]

^for a while, prolly about 2 mon wear if i were to take a stab at it, maybe 3

[daftendirekt]

does anyone here know if eternal has done/ does black?

i'd love to see some of that...

[destructodisk]

811's came today. They fit perfectly. Tight in the waist still but I know they'll stretch. I'll post pics in a few days.

I am pretty sure eternal has made black denim before, but it is def. discontinued. You'll have to wait for another member to tell you the model number because I forgot it.

[thaiison]

update! I might give these a wash soon, what do you think?

[dino might]

^starting to look really beautiful. every time i see shit like this it makes me feel remiss for not wearing mine as much as i could, i love these jeans

[ipkus.]

dam thaiison killin it.

ill post an update on mine.

[ipkus.]

811 about 3 months

lets put some talk into this thread

[thaiison]

looking good , you're gonna get some epic whiskers on those

[destructodisk]

I say hold out on the wash as long as possible, thaiison. I think patience pays out in dividends with eternals.

I will post some fit pics of mine when I get around to it, but for now it will suffice to say I love these jeans. I wear them every day!

[salaami]

ipkus and thaiison are gonna have proven why slow-fading denim is best over time. i would boiling hot soak if they stink, or red shit on the fly is that annoying. a wash wouldn't kill em or anything, its just a boiling soak will re-fit the jean, kill germs, brighten the areas you already have faded, yet keep the dark dark.

[headtowall]

Salaami's not wrong. These seem to take forever to fade, but when they do there's a lot of depth. I need to wear my 872s more often.

[sidneylo]

I'm hoping to get a 5 year (or more) lifespan on these jeans…at the rate I'm going these will be a slow and beautiful process.

[M.O.A]

My Eternals are getting epic fades because of all the crazy weather we are having in the NW

gotta snap pics once the sun comes out.

i havent seen a lot of label owners personal jeans, but from what i hear that kaihara san has worn his jeans over 700 wears, and miki tsujita has worn his fullcounts over 5 years. i man i consider knowledgable told me that all denim worth a shit should be worn for at least 4-5 years.

[bahnahnahs]

Been more than a year with light wear, rotated with other jeans too.

no wash yet..

Just curious, how do you guys take so nice pictures out in the sun of ur jeans? What kind of settings do u use? Im just using a normal Nikon coolpix digicam, is that why my pictures dont really turn out good?

Yes, I can completely agree with that. Since I've taken a break from my 3001's, I've been dying to get back in 'em…they still have so much life in them that I could wear them for another year straight if I had the patience to.

Instead of doing everything in one year spurts though, I'm letting myself off easy…perhaps with more time given, the overall shift and change of denim will reflect more deeply with the things that have changed in my life.

Also, I think it becomes boring after you've done the "one year" thing with a jean, and then it becomes more about living with the fabric than seeing what you can accomplish with nonstop wear…
