So the inseam is pretty short on these, right? Only 34"

yeah, 34"

I don't think there's a variable inseam.

34" isn't that short

[eastcoastrider27]

I'm 6'2" with long legs compared to my upper body.

I like to wear my jeans high on my waist and cuff them. Plus when the jeans crinkle up they get a little shorter.

They look really sick though. They look amazing in this picture...

You might be fine without a cuff. Although that'd be pushing it..

I'm 6' and with a 1.5" cuff they're a perfect length.

still trying to work up the nerve to order my pair from djrajio....

minya whats your thoughts on hemming them? i have too many pairs of "bunched" up jeans, and i want to get a good solid "normal" pair of jeans that I can really dive into as a project.

no cuffs, no bagginess, no tightness, just a really nice fitting pair of jeans.

think i ought to cold soak and them take them to get hemmed?

actually most rakuten stores will hem them form you when you order, plus they chainstitch, so have them hemmed at the same time as your order them.

you dont need to soak them at all since they're already washed in 40C and probably dried with heat.

yep, they come washed once, with about a 33" or a 34" inseam.

[coolhunter]

the famous eternal recipe....ppppffftttt.....no such thing! urban legend

[john11f]

bump. I'm getting my pair soon courtesy of someone from supertalk. Anyone has any updates/pics on their pair?

[wreck]

Where are you guys buying these from?

[2000dB]

I've been wearing my pair for 5 months now. I've machine washed them once and soaked them once too.

They're starting to look very good in my opinion, getting some cool fade. I'll try to post pics soon.

[cleanlines]

Are these small fitting ? Should i go up a size or ge my normal levi / nudie size ?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

measure your other jeans like this

http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/rebirth/size_1.html

size down 1-1.5" if you want to.

shrink to tagged size

våran panel tycker att man ska koka pastan i två år

[denimdestroyedmylife]

From what I understand, size up two b/c they run small: Tagged 32 measures 30".

I thought they were all one-wash???

I am KING MISINFORMATION, so adjust accordingly. I don't have these jeans, but often pretend that I do.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

I dont have a pair either but the measurements at bears and bazoo suggest they shrink to tagged size.

I submit Exhibit B for our consideration: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=15548

(Bears and Bazoo being Exhibit A)

I think he measured the back of the waistband. If he measured the circumference, he would get 32".

Oh, just saw that they offer one-wash AND raw on Rakuten-----I think that RAW is a *new* option, as the site says, FINALLY, WE HAVE RAW, or some such.

We both win!!! *hug*

i got a one-wash version from someone off of styleforum in size 30. i generally wear a size 31 or so, and tried to figure in stretching. at first they were killing me in the hip area because they were tight, although the jeans did measure 30", they have become more comfortable. they legs on the jeans are quite slim, so you may want to get your usual size.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

nice buy. i was so tempted by that pair-----had to steady my wallet-hand.

[minya]

[xcoldricex]

yes, that is my experience also- had to try on a 34, i'm a 32.

need goods from japan? email me. getting goods to you before your rice gets cold.

[drunkmunky_23]

i own a pair of them and they run small...better size up...i wear a 33 got a 35

[2000dB]

I bought my normal size (32) and they were a bit tight at first. Now I need a belt.

[tweeds]

is this range of sizing responses because some guys bought the one-wash, and others the raw?

[john11f]

i have the one wash and it fits me true to size

[2000dB]

I have the one wash too.

[beefcake]

Tweedles,

I don't think so because even if they did buy raw, they would have soaked them and ended up with the same results as the one-wash. Kinda. I think it has more to do with where you wear them, on the hips or "as it's supposed" (highish rise), etc.

But just like DDML and HJJ, I don't have these jeans and I'm QUEEN of misinterpreprperp-thatsahardword-tation.

I've ordered the Eternal 846's in my usual size 30, I hope they'll be ok (and that coldrice can actually find them, to begin with. Apparently they're sold out alot).
