Eternal Jeans

[beatle]

the one thing I would´nt consider is changing the cut. One of Eternals finest. We´re still juggling some stuff around....

[evilgeniusdan]

What about trying to reduce hip flare? My only complaint about the 811 cut..

[chris_n]

you shut your mouth

[beatle]

Gordon is working his magic...if things work out - the contest thread and details will be available in a couple of days..sorry for the delay - but this way u´ll hear it once it´s confirmed and won´t have to deal with - oh , sorry , but it looks like this or that ain´t gonna happen...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thank you for working it out with Gordon!

[rome1]

good to hear Beat's!!!!

[aho]

+rep to beats for having a clear vision for a contest and knowing how to organize! My biggest regret from the failed Samurai LHT contest was that I opened things up too much to discussion on all ends...Look how that turned out! Anyways I'll be joining the Eternal contest so hopefully we can all enjoy this together...

+ rep as well. I was in, or rather going to be in the Samurai LHT, but as Aho pointed out....

Well, best thing is now I get to be in this contest. Thanks to beatle for working hard on this. Can't wait to see what turns out.

[ranonranonarat]

oooops my apologies to beatle, haven't been on the forum long enough.

[beatle]

Thanks, guys - I really appreciate ur patience....

[Baeyer-Drewson]

I'm in the exact same position. Get some 811s now, or wait till the contest...such a hard choice.

Kopped 811s from Bears in Shimo-kita a few weeks back. No doubt in my mind that I will be kopping contest Eternals too...

Damn...I'm not going to lie, I'm more than a little jealous right now.

[beatle]

I think the Bears edition has been sold out for more that a year. I think he means that he bought his pair at that particular store.

[chantheman]

yea i figured as much i was just hoping and praying for the other

[Baeyer-Drewson]

^Yeah, sorry to disappoint. I just bought the regular 811s at Bears because it's one of the few shops in Tokyo that stocks them... And Shimo-kitazawa is a pretty cool little area to hang out in...

Bears had quite a few diff Eternal models but I was really just looking to size down some 811s I used to own that were too big.

[aho]

b-d did you happen to see the 883 model?

[Baeyer-Drewson]

883 is the slimmer-than-811 cut, right? I can't really remember to be honest. They did have a good 4 or 5 models other than the 811s. I only really remember the 872 or 877, something with the really streaky denim. You could always send them an email, just keep the English simple and add a Google-translated version of your question.

Just wondering if you'd seen them in person and got more of a feel of the cut since measurements aren't always the most accurate...They are indeed slimmer than the 811 btw, a "tight straight"...

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Nah, I didn't even try on any other jeans at Bears. Just walked in, grabbed 811s in sz 30, tried them on and got them hemmed. I think VARI has measurements on the 811s that are quite accurate, so their measurements on the 883s should be pretty reasonable.

yo Aho, i got the 883 a few weeks ago.

what i can say for the fit is they are slim cut , something similar to FH5001 im having with more moderate taper down the knee compared to 5001.

the top block is boxy, rise is low but not super low i can wear them around 1' down my naval.

Leg opening is small..i got size 29 the hem is around 18cm.

Pocket is smaller than 811 which i love so much.

diaper ass flare is not noticable yet but they still have tiny droopy ass due to the long backrise. looks good to sag a little i guess

all in all, i love this cut.sex worthy

Thanks for that review LC. I'm seriously considering the 883 in size 30. Can you give us a dimension for the rises on yours? Fit pics are also welcome if you can post them.

[chris_n]

LC Miley,

Excited to see fit pics if you have them! what's your normal waist with other jeans? have you had 811s before? (size on those?)

what is the FH5001?

[LC_Miey]

I'll try to post fit pics soon.

I wear size 29 in 811 and size 29 for 883.

For 883, when i first got them i can only button up until top 2 buttons. i wore them around the house for a few hours, then i soaked the waistband and stretched the waist wearing them while it is wet.

I did the same thing to my 811. and it worked...

Edit: FH5001 = Flathead 5001...which has the same fit as Flathead 1001,3001

[LC_Miey]

okay here we go some quick fit pics 883 size 29 size down 1, true waist 30-30.5" ...

I'll try to post the measurement tonight...gotta rush to work now...

[aho]

Thanks for the pics! Could you also do 811 pics for comparison?
