Eternal Jeans

[robinbenito]

Here goes my Eternal 811 who served me good for two years and seven months!!!

It was practically my only Jeans throughout all this time, except for the days when i washed it.

I had various repairs made by random tailors... in the crotch twice and three times in the pockets, they´re really worn out now.

PBJ XX-05 now drying for the first wear.

^ohhh yes.

[sea bass]

check out my FS thread for a pair of BiG 811's, sz 33, for $125

[Oldswag]

I felt like these should be posted again for this page. Amazing.

[ah_long]

I'm probably the only one here that has these.. along with the other guy who bought my other pair..

Eternal 851, Deadstock black denim (half selvage), Sz 32.. I'm wearing a Sz 31 in the Eternal 811 BG Contest jeans..

Loving the Denim of these.. 14oz, RHT, slimmer cut than the 811

Nice ah_long. Whereabouts did you pick those up? They look to have a similar cut to the 883s.

[alimenator]

hope that when I get my eternals that they will look as good as robinbenito's...

[bulldogskoleff]

They're like 811's without the hip flare. Those are amazing, not loving the half selvage though, but nevertheless a great fit

[ah_long]

picked'em up @ the Inazuma Festival Eternal booth.. they had two pairs of these lying there.. I knew these are not easy to come by anymore so I had to buy them

[futura.selvage]

long those look great! if im not mistaken they only costed about 150USD? awesome price

[deleted20333]

how much do eternals shrink with a pre hot wash?

[deleted20333]

i sized down on my 660's and i like the fit, but i could go slimmer. (30 -> 29) how would I size on these?

[chambo2008]

i washed mine 3 times and air dried or you could just machine waash and tumble dry... what size where your 660's

[deleted20333]

29's sized down 1

Sneaky peak of my 811 that I just started wearing again

Recent fit of my Eternals

[blackmaged]

Not sure if anyone has the real answer to this, but are the Eternal 872 sanforized or not?

The Rakuten page on them kind of implies that they'll shrink somewhat but doesn't really say whether it's sanforized or not. There are also a few instances where people got MASSIVE shrinkage post-soak (edmonds i think) so I'm not really sure. I was always under the impression that Eternal denim is sanforized?

Also anyone have information on how they stretch too? I'd think that stretching 18oz would be a pain...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they are unsanforized as most Japanese denim. Hence Edmon's shrinkage on his pair.

I haven't handled the 872 18oz denim but I don't think it's a pain to wear it. People wear 24oz/27oz denim and survive

HOW TO FIX BUTTON HOLE LOOPS????

halp me

IF YOU CAN'T TELL FROM THE PICTURE, THEY ARE DESTROYED.

So I can't wear my eternals any longer unless they are fixed.

help help

Using a thread and needle by hand, sew together the ripped parts, cinching them back together like you were stitching a wound shut. Reinforce them while making sure that the buttons will fit back into the holes. Not too tough a job..

Sellin' my minty 864's in my Super Denim Sale. Check the siggy.

That's how I did my 874s which had the same issue.

My girlfriend attempted this, DID NOT WORK, as the reason for their collapse in the first place was due to stress being applied making the denim rip apart where the buttons were.

in other words I GOT FATTER.

NEED BETTER SOLUTIONS!

[-Z-]

Id just take them to a tailor, just make sure you ask them to use strong thread. They should be able to fix it no problemo..

[blm14]

huh, my eternals had the same problem....

[wahwho11]

my eternals are starting to have the same problem.

[mcflip]

button hole failure happened on my SD103s and is now happening on my 811s. It's definitely a result of my weight fluctuating and trying to put 10lbs of ass in a 5lb pair of pants. I've since learned and got a pair of "stop kidding yourself" jeans for the periods where my favorites become unreasonably tight.

With the SD103s, I wrapped a piece of denim around where the button holes were, sewed them as if I was stitching the thread reinforcement for the edge of the buttonhole and used an x-acto to carefully cut through where the buttonhole was supposed to be. It's held up great. The outside flap more or less covers up all the surgery, and hey... a bit of padded crotch isn't the worst thing.

I think the key to these things is to reinforce these things BEFORE they bust.

my eternal 883 4month-ish

[tsunamiboy85]

My Eternal 811s were sitting, all folded up, in the closet for a few months and I recently broke them out for a wear. Forgotten how great the denim and fit is! More than 2 years of actual wear methinks. 8 washes. iPhone pics.
