Eternal Jeans

[retemeris]

yeah i asked and he said he'd try to do it. no guarentees that he will... but i heard those horror stories about the selvage being cut off by that ramon guy.. which is specifically why i asked him instead.

it might depend on how recent you got them. he seemed willing to try on mine. ill let you know how it goes.

[dino might]

shit, im bummed about the legs being the same as 811s though... i wasnt expecting that

BIG is tapering your jeans? I bought my 811's in the store and they wouldn't taper them for me. They sent me to Ramon who fucked them up instead,

that must be a recent thing. i bought my samauri black there and he said he'd give it a shot, never ended up doing it though. he is probably way too busy to do tapering to the level that's proper though. He has stacks of jeans not bought in the store that have to be chainstitched (this takes him like a half hour per jean) and feel bad everytime i go up there to ask to chainstitch a pair i got from him. I always even offer him some cash, but he always refuses. Any proper tailor can do a taper job though.

Eternal x Bear's at almost one year. Washed at least 5 times.

Denim is the same as the 811 denim. Still going strong and lots of wear left. Cotton thread is broken in some places, but nothing major yet.

AAAA thats rly nice I love the pattern on your seccond comb ^^

I think one of my favorite aspects of denim fading is when the knee crinkles wrap around into the honneycombs on both sides of the jean. Its such an interesting thing to watch take shape.

[headtowall]

Jooles wins.

[retemeris]

those are beautiful.

[beatle]

Evolution of Eternals is like watching porn....the denim sure does bless the owner and is worth the afford...Very crisp pair...especially the combs..tight !

[watchman]

wow jooles those look great. mine are at about a year now and still have a lot of wear in them too, its amazing how resilient these are.

My Bears thread is broken in the exact same place on the left pocket like yours Jooles.

I've been tempted to just rip the thread, but have so far left them as they are. I think they are under more stress because of hands in the pocket. The threads on my right pocket are even more frayed - it's a big loop now.

[ordo]

The right front pocket on my 811s is totally blown out. The thread all came out and the pocket lining is all frayed.

[watchman]

same. Most of my stitching has had some issues, i had to restitch part of my back pocket and lost my tab when the stitching came out!

[HEWSINATOR]

Ya, it is great denim but the stitching does seem to leave something to be desired.

Jooles, those are as close to perfection as I've ever seen. Perfect wear, perfect fit. What was your wear/wash process?

First wash after 3-4 months - hand wash, cold, not inside out. Hang dry.

Next few washes happened maybe 1-2 months after the first. Washed the same way. Basically just waited until they got a bit smelly.

Things weren't really happening so for the last few washes I just threw them in the washer when they were smelly. At 40 degrees C, inside out, a bit of detergent. Hang dry.

I use Ecover washing powder.

you refer to the holy cows? if so they are also my favourite part

Just a quick question...

Eternal 811's waist fits true to size? And post-wash length shrinks about 1.5 - 2, right?

[dino might]

its pretty capricious compared to most brands, with eternal i dont think you can ever be certain until you try on the pair, but those seems to be the averages

[retemeris]

uh ohhhh

i got my 864s hemmed to 32 b/c they are one wash... are they gonna be too short for me if i cold wash/soak them?.. now hot washing seems out of the question. eitehr way, ill be hang drying. is this going to be an issue?

still no news on the tapering, im gonna wait it out and see cause i personally have no rush.

[HEWSINATOR]

Do you need a 32 length or is this accounting for a touch more shrinkage. If you get them hemmed to 32 you get them hemmed to 32, so variability in waist size will not affect this (if this is what you uhh ohh was to).

But, O/W often have a touch of shrink left in them, for this reason, I get my jeans hemmed a touch longer than usual, so if they shrink, they are not too short.

[retemeris]

yeah my required length is actually really short, its about 30, but i like a little bit of stack. so hopefully it wont affect it too much? yeah, i got it hemmed to 32, and i like it at this length, but losing less than an inch? maybe, wont really bother me. I should have left them at 33 probably, but oh well.

thanks.

Aight, thanks. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to sizing. So a rough gauge would be enough.

theyll shrink a little more in a hot wash, i know this because ive hotwashed o/w 811s, but not too much, less than an inch for sure. post some fucking fit pictures already

Aight, thanks. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to sizing. So a rough gauge would be enough.

then yeah, youre golden

[retemeris]

haha as soon as they're back from tapering.. definitely will post pics ASAP!

[Ahlvahroe]

so from what im gathering is that the persimmon looking one is a 'sample' pair like a future release if im not mistaken. i saw these a while back, http://shop.yumetenpo.jp/goods/d/pants-shop-avenue.com/g/Et54727/index.shtml, and have really wanted to see more, cause they look really good.

[munkyballz]

Damn, eternals just fade and wear so well, I've yet to have seen a "bad" pair so far...need to get my hands on some in the future...gah, maybe late next year, lol. Wish the 811's were a bit more tapered though, just slightly.

[ordo]

Here is a shot of the front right pocket of my 811s. The pocket bag is completely detached on the inside due to the stiching coming out.
