Using chain stitch, your train of jeans is fading wind.

according to that site though, the Raws are either not yet available or sold out

ddml: high post count, great reputation, quick with superinfo.

but kumas only come in one-washes, at least on their site. raw 811s do exist but are rare and sell out very quickly every time they receive the shipments. or, so they say.

right here "rare and sell out quickly". that's what I was referring to.

^ thanks, dude!

more!

if you ask, ye shall receive:

and this is where my cell phone antennae got pushed through my pocket when my charter bus flipped over the weekend:

[denimdestroyedmylife]

are you okay?

your jeans are starting to look pretty cool, if that is any consolation

[tweeds]

vertical falling kind of cool, to be precise.

ddml - how do yours look? (apart from detail shots)

[mizanation]

nice, watchman! aaah, jeans. they're great.

not much to report other than killer wallet atari and the start of some holy cows.

i haven't really devoted much time to my 811s, sadly. they are looking very shiny now, though. not much hairiness except below the knee. the patina is very waxy and shiny right now. and kinda blotchy blues everywhere. and of course the vertical fade just starting to pop out dramatically. not much in the way of honeycombing, higes, chevrons and whatnot.

this week has been all about 45rpm for me. my nuts!

[watchman]

nice, watchman! aaah, jeans. they're great.

i agree. I cried at that levis lawsuit thing. and thanks DDML, i'm fine, nothing broken just a dislocated shoulder and stitches. But it is definitely an interesting memory to associate with a pair of jeans

[synthi]

Does anyone know if the smallest size in 811's is indeed 28 as Bears and all the other Rakuten sites I've just browsed suggests? I coulda sworn I saw a size 27 somewhere but I think my memory's playing tricks on me.

[mikesduc]

FYI I talked to Gordon at BIG and he said they will be carrying Eternals in the future.

[watchman]

washing tomorrow! pics to follow

[Thorns]

HOLY CRAP!! You were in a charter bus that flipped over and all you got was some stitches. I'm glad you're alive!

[flex0r]

ok, i know this has been answered many times, and i apologize, but i'm still very confused by the sizing. the main thing i want to know is about how much will they stretch? will they be able to give about two inches, or just one?

[watchman]

at least one. I can't say two definitively. and keep in mind that a 28 will fit like a 26 or a tight 27

[flex0r]

in that case, since my waist is 34, am i gonna have to go with a 36? and thanks for replying.

Cross-posted from the Evolution thread:

5.5 Month update of Bears x Eternals (811 Denim). Soaked a couple of times, no hard washes.

so here are a few indoor, guy who does not know how to take pics, shots:

[sexualharrasmentpanda]

those look insane...

i think watchman's got it - if you size two up you definitely won't get a pair of jeans that are too small in the waist, but if you're looking for a just-right waist you might end up overcompensating. sizing one up should be enough, but there are a number of confusing instances where it wasn't.

i sized two up and if it's any worse a fit, i just wear the pants slightly lower (it has a pretty high rise) so it does okay.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

FWIW, my eternals are my true size, but the two previous owners stretched out the waist a bit.

watchman-------nice! love the fading at the hems----very contrasty; a nice preview of how the rest of the jeans will look

[watchman]

also a cross post from Evolution:

Almost 5 months, first hard wash.

sorry about the big pics! if it's a problem i'll try and resize.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

fucking cool, man!

weird that your whiskers are so low and so few.

the honeycombs/holy cows look great. traintracks coming through, too.

those jeans just look great. wearing mine now------still soooo dark in comparison.

can we get some detail shots of the hidden rivet atari? how's your macro???

if i may be so bold, i think you should keep on going with these; don't shelve em just yet. i have a feeling they are gonna develop quite a lot in the next couple months

[Guest jeffvyain]

i would really hope he wouldn't think twice about shelving them yet. they got atleast another 7 months before it should even be a thought...maybe another year or so (just my opinion, of course).

[watchman]

i'm planning on continuing with these for a few more months at least, they are just too perfect in terms of fit. thanks for the compliments, i'll post detail pics soon
