Eternals run small...... i really hope they fit u.... i had to size up 1 and they fit really really snug... they dont stretch much at all

[givemefive]

I sized down 1 or tts depending on how you look at it My waist measures 33-34" but my jeans are 31 or 32. I call 32 my tts 160F soak, 95% machine dry

36" inseam after that.

Would highly recommend hemming.

dawei, givemefive:

I sized based on the sizing chart on BiG for the one wash 811's (i bought the unwash), hope they fit too! i did hem as well, can't pass up a free chainstitching service.... props to Gordon for having great customer service!

[M.O.A]

finally got to drop my eternals off at Big last week. Cannot wait for their eventual return... real chain-stitch, real threads, real repairs from Gordon.... I cant wait.

[mpcec]

I didnt think BiG did repairs, when I was there last year they referred me to a couple places but didn't do their own, you just getting a hem job or full repair? My 811's are in desperate need of repairs... got 3 crotch tears and a 4th one impending...

That reminds me I gotta get some pics up in this bitch.

[M.O.A]

i had spoken to gordon about it before hand. Im sure they are really busy this time of year.

Getting a proper fucking hem, repairs to the crotch and button fly holes.

[mpcec]

Next time I'm in to buy a new pair I'll see if I can work out a repair for the spring... my second button fly hole has also been blown and the third is on its way there.

[chris_n]

i got a pair for myself and a friend for christmas.

it's going to be harder than i thought to wait til christmas to start these.

gordon takes repair jobs on jeans bought from them when he can, but the guy is mad busy and sometimes just needs to chill some for a bit. the hemming and repairs service come and go when its feasible, aint no thang

[ipkus.]

my crotch is about to blow

[amardeep]

^lol this is what mine came to after a year

(rip&tear+putting a square of denim over the tear+ reallyshittystitching)

hello been looking at the measurements on big one wash 38 and raw 36 look pretty much the same prefect fit for me was thinking if i get the raws and just quick soaked them in cold water would they shrink much would i be able to get away with the 36 raw would prefer raw but dont think i could shrink 38 this much any advice please

[chris_n]

gordon said they won't shrink a full 3" on the inseam with just a soak. even hot soak.

hardcore hot wash + industrial dry is how they get them to shrink 3 inches.

i got raw 39" and had him hem to raw 34" i'm expecting hopefully 32ish post soak

if i cold soak them would they shrink much overall meaning the jean as a whole if that makes any sense thanks

[chris_n]

they won't shrink as much overall VS traditional hot wash/dry

wait is there an official contest yet? or is it still just an idea (sorry if this has been answered already, i looked back a few pages and couldn't find anything confirming this)

[givemefive]

I hot soak dried, hot soaked dried and they shrunk 3

still stiff too

good to know. how much did they shrink in the leg and waist?

[givemefive]

Leg = 3"

Waist = no idea.

I sized down so I had to keep stretching the waist at all times.

Woohoo, looking forward to it.

Any glimpse on the fit, denim?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the 811 cut as mentioned often enough and the standard denim they use. that's for now

[blm14]

people usually size up on 811s, just an FYI.

[Chipper]

Perfect, I'm ready to try Eternals. Cant wait.

great... thank god i didnt start my eternals yet, i'll definitely want in on this contest

[beatle]

we're working on some custom details ....no different cut, though...the 811 is pretty perfect as it is...

[aho]

^can't wait to hear more...but I guess that means a no-go for a Eternal x Bears type cut?

[beatle]

really - just size down one for that...
