Here's a quick pic of my brother in his 811BG size 32. He's had them about 3 months now?:

hey all..bought a pair of 811s from a member off here but haven't worn'em cuz don't like the fit..so if anyones interested i gotta sz31 for sale

[Mr HaGa]

^What's wrong with the fit? Pics?

Is the hipflare bothering you or something?

[ipkus.]

maybe just stocky legs?

Picked up a pair of 811's for my brother while I was in Japan. I would have preferred the raw version but could only find the one-wash version. I am a true 32, but my brother is slightly bigger, around a 33.

I tried on a 31 and a 32. For myself, I would have gone with a 31. I could barely button up to the top, and I'm sure if I wore them I would have had irregular bowel movement for a week, but they were a nice and fitted through the thighs (mine measure around 21" FYI).

The 32 fit decently on me as well, by no means baggy in the thigh and hip flare is barely noticeable. The waist is snug, but there's some bulging in the crotch due to the looser top block. The 32 basically fits my brother like the 31 fit on me. Oh, the 32 came with the red tag while the 31 came with the newer blue tag on the coin pocket. Sorry for the lack of fit pics. I didn't get a chance to take any before I gave them to my brother... If I get some later on I'll post them on here.

One thing that I noticed what that there was some serious leg twist going on from the one-wash. It appears as though the front of the jeans is cut narrower (or shrunk more) than the back (i.e. when folded at the outseam, they don't line up at the inseam). I found this a little annoying because the stitching at the inseam is less visible when viewed from the front, giving the illusion that the jeans are bootcut. I know leg twist is part of raw denim, but in this case it doesn't look so good. I guess I'm particular...

My brother tends to be more active in his jeans, perhaps even abusive at times, although this is his first pair of raw denim. These should look pretty interesting after 6 months. Don't worry, I've instructed him NOT to throw these in the wash any sooner than 3 months.

^^Thanks for the stream of consciousness Joyce. I will recommend your ramblings to my lit -nerd denimhead friends for rabid dissection. Or not.

Less talk, more pix. Or even just less talk.

Just threw my eternals in the wash for their first time (well, second if you count the factory wash). Should look good when they come out. I'll be sure to post pics.

@headtowall

i love the fit on you man...nice jeans

[jr.andre.k]

guys i have question.

i found some 811s in Rakuten.

but tabs on the models are various.

some has blue one, red, or even has nothing beside the back pocket. (instead there was one next to the coin pocket.

what i want to ask is,, is it fake? and what is the genuine form of 811 eternal?

good day

[M.O.A]

red tabs are older, blue tabs are the newer run w a longer inseem if om not mistaken (for BIG)

they moved the tab to the front coin poclet after the levis lawsuit

[sidneylo]

At the rate I am going, expect evolution photographs in 2012. (0)

[guywithpants]

they are called eternals for a reason

[technicolor]

These Eternal 872's have been my every day work jean for about 8 months now. Total wear is somewhere over 1 year. They have had numerous washes since I have had them. I sized up on them so I could wear long underwear with them in the Winter time. For the most part the color and contrast is pretty true (I didn't bother with editing the photographs), but I would say the lights are quite a bit lighter in person.

You can see how badly the pocket bags are torn up where they attach. I'll be repairing them soon (hopefully). I actually discovered I have some new holes in the bags themselves (I guess from keys) right before this photo shoot.

The first thing that got repaired only a few short months into them being a work pair of jeans is the button holes. They were pretty well torn through in a very short amount of time so I reinforced them thoroughly (Which can't really be seen all to well after all the washes they have been through).

Crotch is on the verge of a major failing.

The left knee is pretty shredded. I guess I kneel with my left knee a lot and move with my right leg when I'm working.

The back patch shriveled up long ago (Still remained soft). It recently started separating from the jeans.

I apologize for the messy fire pit area. Spring cleanly hasn't exactly happened in every part of my yard.

[amardeep]

damn, i've been wanting to see how that denim would turn out. good stuff.

if you and all the other guys could post your photos on http://denimwiki.net/wiki it'd be greatly appreciated!

technicolor those 872s are sublime! what line of work are you lucky enough to do that gives you the chance to fade your jeans so well?

edit: +rep if I could

[Turntabloid]

does anybody know if BIG is going to restock their 811s soon?

[mattcain]

Technicolor your jeans are very inspiring! They must look even better in person. Is the 827 the same denim as the 811 just a different cut?

[Alex3000]

Also wondering when the raws are being restocked I remember hearing 5ish months but that was a whille ago.

[poly800rock]

UGH. i want a pair of eternals so bad. but i'm broke. someone sponser me plz. kthx

[Raoul Duke]

I'm surprised they haven't been restocked yet. I was told in February by Gordon that they were reproducing the raw version in the spring.
