Eternal Jeans

interesting point synthi.

yeah the carding step pre-spinning of yarns is designed to remove foreign matter and shorter fibres from the slivers before they are pressed (in the case of ring-spun) and spun.

but i assume therefore that there is an alternative carding process that allows the short fibres to remain while cleaning up all the foreign bodies present in the raw cotton?

[synthi]

I would love to know more about this process TIP. I actually know knothing, I was just speculating in a, urm, logical way! I think.

[tweeds]

my own knowledge is merely second/third-hand as well, unfortunately.

great link about the actual process: http://www.pcca.com/Denim/denimmanufacturing.asp

Ok just spent 20 minutes reading the thread and checking the link. Lots to learn, thanks TIP

Got my tagged size 36's in today- too small. I sold them to a friend 15 minutes after getting them, so I don't have to return them to BIG. I'm waiting to hear back if a tagged size 38 is available. I'm kinda bummed; I really wanted these to fit...

They felt a lot less likely to stratch than the Warehouse 1001XX I have, and the legs were a bit slimmer. I think if I can get a 38, they'll be perfect.

hey, what size do u normally wear?

[Ric]

I got a pair of these about a month ago. Size 33's, I was just able to button them up and now i need a belt. Normally wear sz32 in non LVC Levis 501's.

Is the Eternal 811 available in the U.S? I'd be interested in buying a pair. Thanks!

I just ordered a pair today - my true size 32. Thanks to everyone who weighed in on my sizing questions.

I'll have them tomorrow and will post results soon after.

Thanks! I'll probably order one myself but I"m still waiting for my 5 EP's that I ordered from their deadstock. Thanks again.

I always envy you guys who's managed to put some work on your 811s. It's an uphill climb just to make a significant fade. I wish I could get some on mine but it's easier said than done.

[watchman]

how long have you been wearing yours? after 4.5 months mine were definitely ready for a wash, and i didn't do anything excessive in them.

[john11f]

probably wore them for two months intermittently. actually, i did use them for two weeks on my bike and got some fading. i just have way too many projects.

[jooles]

The end of my belt has been rubbing against a belt loop. I think this is a sign that the denim will fade nicely.

[Chponglasia]

Beautiful. Here's my question, and sorry to harp on this stretching thing, but I got my true size as everyone suggested, and right now the fit is PERFECT. A bit snug in the waist, but not uncomfortable at all. Leg also fits snug but not tight.

Should I keep them or return for a smaller size that's brutal at first, but will stretch to fot well. I'm just worried about these bad boys getting too big...

Thanks in advance for the help!

[denimdestroyedmylife]

sounds like the pair fits properly

don't feel guilty because it doesn't hurt

It'll stretch out minimally - I'd say an inch maximum. Mine were tight at first, but after a few months were perfect. They haven't changed since.

[blm14]

if they arent tight, they wont stretch much.

Are they true to size or should I size down?

I suppose you're right. Thanks. I think I'll take the tags off now.

[Robert_Bennett]

My size 30 is a tad tight as well but I know they will stretch out perfectly. I'm really glad I did't size up.

[Chicken]

enjoy!

and welcome to the club.

[watchman]

it really is a club mentality. Maybe if a lot of people get them now that BiG has them it will become the "red tab on my eternals" club haha

[Robert_Bennett]

I got mine from Bears with the tab still on the pocket.

[watchman]

sweet! the nice thing about these is that the levis suit really doesn't effect them much at all.

Do you have the website for Bears? BIG is out of my size... thanks!

[Dick Danger]

Does Bears ship to the US now?

[watchman]

i don't believe so, you have to use a bid service

[Chponglasia]

How about here?
