Eternal Jeans

[Chicken]

yeah, wearing the 811s i feel like i'm really starting to understand why that holy grail guy went with these. (it seems like he always spends a long time contemplating on which pair to wear, and he sure has a lot to choose from.) these are one of teh finest denim around.

[aubrgene]

Does anybody know if Eternal 811 are sold in any L.A. store? Thanks!!

[denimdestroyedmylife]

at the moment, eternal 811s are not available in the US

rumor has it, BiG will be stocking 811s soon

there's a pair in supermarket right now for cheap

[desertfox]

Here are my Eternal x Bears after 6 months of regular wear with one light wash.

[khaltire]

Man I love the patch so much on these jeans.. so nice and golden and shiny haha

too bad they dont come in smaller sizes cause Id get a pair... pretty cheap too (relatively)

I guess I could wear them at my hips at 28 inches, I wonder how that would look

TIP -can you post a pic of the jeans worn at the hips like you said?

Also, from what I can deduce, raw pairs come as tagged size, one wash come 2 inches too small?

Finally, whats the diff of 811s compared to the bears x eternals? fit look similar to me?

hidden rivet atari for DDML. the back pocket that i keep my wallet in is like coming off.

and the lack of lap fade is probably attributable to my complete lack of ass. I'm kind of a skinny dude.

[khaltire]

Aw, I guess that means I have no chance of wearing them without superdiaperass... I got excited when I read that a size 28 actually measured 26 after a soak (my waist is around 26.5)... so I guess it would only be recommended to do so if I was actually a 28? to get the 28, shrink it to 26 and then restretch it to around 27.5-28?]

watchman - nice wallet, has it changed at all since you got it in terms of color? Im waiting for a workin mans wallet currently in the mail from LGC

[watchman]

yeah the color has changed quite a bit, but there has been a shitload of indigo staining that i have no idea what to do about.

[tweeds]

to reiterate an earlier question...do eternals ever stop staining, or do they have this secret stash of endless indigo dye?

[Chicken]

yeah the color has changed quite a bit, but there has been a shitload of indigo staining that i have no idea what to do about.

yes, this thing is a monster. my hand towel has changed its color because i keep washing then wiping my indigo-stained hands on them. my couch is turning blue. my shirts. my wallet, belt. everything. my hands and nails are constantly blue when i'm wearing them.

the only items hanging tough and not changing into blue are my alden indys.

to reiterate an earlier question...do eternals ever stop staining, or do they have this secret stash of endless indigo dye?

i'm asking myself the same question. it's got to stop at some point. i just don't know when yet.

Same for me. I came home drunk one night and my girlfriend looked at my blue hands, had a look of concern on her face, and asked if I needed to go to the hospital. These things are a never-ending well of indigo.

[Chicken]

perhaps we're all part of the "blue hands club."

[vincent]

wow, eternals are nice, but that sort of inconvenience will probably stop me from ever getting a pair

[synthi]

Wow, whole new meaning to the term 'secret handshake' And Khaltire, I share your pain cos I'm a 27 - 28. You should check out The Flathead 3008's that start at size W25 and also Skulls that start at W26 and are true to tag. Here's a tip I intend to take heed of when I buy pairs to suit my new smaller waist - wear a belt with them immediately after shrinkage to limit stretch.

[tweeds]

black shoes can't ever be turned indigo, so my clarks are happy campers.

[beefcake]

hm, my tigers smurfed a bit in the beginning but they're fine now. nothing extreme about them imo. maybe you guys just sweat too much

[jooles]

My Bear's Tora at about 5 months, worn every other day or so. These things take forever to fade, but they're coming along nicely I think.

Will wash them soon, as they're very creased behind the knees - I don't want them to crack.

[PG2G]

Looking good, those are gonna turn out great.

[rocker4life]

yes..they still look dark after 5mos. but they are coming pretty good

[Chicken]

i think it´s the lighting. i bet you these are good and are going to get better.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

46 washes?? http://blog.goo.ne.jp/-ahawk-/c/3a9d902234708daf3cd58cd32a695507

[denimdestroyedmylife]

^ that's an interesting blog; i just tore through it

that guy washed those eternals every other day! crazy

nice redmoon aging report, too

[PG2G]

Can't say I'm liking how those turned out.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i agree with you

but an interesting experiment

[tweeds]

this will henceforth be our banner for the eternals thread...

interesting result, doesn't ryu wash his jeans very often as well? he must really put it through obscene amounts of wear.

[PG2G]

Yeah, but Ryu does monthly. This guy does like every other day, hehe.

[watchman]

that seems like it wouldn't produce anything interesting. I haven't noticed nearly as much indigo loss onto my hands and stuff as you guys, maybe a little blue on a towel and stuff or in the rain, but not just smurfing up everything i touch

[eastcoastrider27]

Jooles I really love the whiskers and honeycombs on your jeans, very natural. That's how it should look.

[tweeds]

Yeah, but Ryu does monthly. This guy does like every other day, hehe.

yeah...i think as far as washing processes go, the japanese denimheads have covered every base. long break between washes, monthly washes, daily washes, different types of washing solutions, etc.
