Eternal 811 - full length pics

Someone was asking for full-length pics of the Eternal 811s. I just gave them a wash, so here are the pics.


I only washed them a couple of times for the first two years, but now the washing is quite regular. No brushing technique. The contrast is pretty high, so washing will tone it down a bit. They just go in the LG front-loader with Omo.

I called BiG to ask about the Eternal 811's and some PBJ's. To my surprise, I was told that the 811's are a tight jean (surprised because I compared the actual measurements on my Levi's 505's with the measurements posted on BiG's website, and they weren't much different).

My question is: how tight are the 811's? I'm a pretty skinny guy (5'10", 135, size 30 Levi's 505's that have an actual waist of 32" and a 32" inseam), but I'm not interested in wearing either tight or baggy jeans. If I want to achieve a fit like I get with Levi's 501's or 505's what would you recommend? I've been thinking about the Eternal 811's, the PBJ XX003's (although I'd prefer a one-wash pair of jeans), PBJ XX005's, PBJ XX008's and Samurai S5000VX's. The problem with the PBJ 005's and 008's is that they seem to be low-rise, something I want to avoid (they're just not comfortable for me). Also, do any Fullcount or Sugar Cane models fit the bill of what I'm looking for? I'd like to avoid any pocket detailing if possible and just let the denim speak for itself. Are there any "regular fit" Japanese selvage jeans that would fit the bill? Thanks.

Hi Anonymous.
The Eternal 811s aren't a tight jean.
The only qualification here is that I'm normally a 33, and I couldn't fit into the 32, so I went with the 34.
If you don't size down you will be fine. They're a great jean.
