imperial duke

schmoove

I NEVER thought i'd live to see this day... haha... anyhow, nice dukes dude.

anyone owns a pair of PBJ xx-005 blacks and a pair of IMPERIAL dukes?

i need some comparison on the fit, so i can get the sizing right.

the size 32 PBJ xx-005 blacks are def bigger than the size 32 dukes in the waist.... if i could do it over again... i might get size 31 PBJ blacks instead.

denim free day of studying today...

vans chukka

trovata twill pants

generic black t

ubiquitous flathead houndstooth shirt

sidney - great fit

Just wondering, what size is your Flat Head shirt?

I'm not sure the sizing on these is consistent between runs, or something. I had a sz 31 in indigo, my true size. Pretty happy with the fit but thought I might be able to go down one. So I bought a 30 in the black when they first dropped at BiG. I found that even post-soak, they fit looser in the thighs than the indigo pair. Not problematic, but not exactly what I was going for. I'm still quite happy with them though. My only real disappointment is that the buttons are painted black, which seems to wear off pretty easily.

I had the same experience. I based on everyone's experiences and got myself a size 32. (i wear 32 for canes one-wash). But even after one cold and one warm soak. They still seem pretty loose compared to what the PBJ 005 threads seem to suggest for this model (be it indigo or black).

pm me and let's discuss there... thanks!

come on guys... the jeans are still available!

pics are up!

still for sale... sorry no camera now... pics can be seen at www.imperial.st till i get a camera. I guarantee the condition and size.

with a little stretch, i actually think it's possible... what size are you for other brands?

i'll try to get a camera. but i am sure you can find some pics of the dukes on superdenim in the meantime. rest assured mine are almost brand new...

jeans are still up for sale... do pm me if interested

Hey everyone, I have a pair of raw Imperial Dukes size 34 for sale. They've only been lightly worn twice hence the creases have not set in yet. They are as good as new.

I live in Singapore, so any Singaporeans over here who are interested please sms me at 94237080. Else, please reply here.

I'm selling for $250 SGD, which is about $210AUD.

Hey guys,

I'll be in Sydney and Melbourne at the end of the month, could you guys recommend shops that you feel are worth checking out?

So far in Sydney, I've only been to Supply 2 years ago. I know they moved, but am not too sure of the new location. Any other places?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I will be in sydney on the 21st of june, in melbourne from 24 to 27, and then back to Sydney till the 10th of July. Good time to be there?

any other interesting shops in melbourne/sydney to recommend?

Also, has anyone seen the range of imperial jeans in Another in Sydney? I wonder if they'll have stuff left when I get there...

thanks for the replies!! any more suggestions?

thanks dude... so this place stocks imperial? anyone know if they have alot of stocks left? thanks for the help once again

Hey guys, wondering if I can get some help here.

I'll be going to Sydney & Melbourne in June/July. Does anyone know where I can get Imperial denim in Sydney? (i know you can't get them in Melbourne).

Also, any other good places to get denim over in these 2 cities? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I really wonder abt PRPS... are they really... errm... authentic as they seem? or is it sort of a "constructed authenticity"?

ok i know most brands have a sorta fabricated image... but if i am not wrong, PRPS is owned by the same ppl who own some hip hop clothing label right? that really doesn't have much to do with this whole denim suff...

just me thinking aloud... if anyone has information to set the record straight... tt's be cool...

on a related note, what about alternatives to febreeze? i reckon i need some sort of spray like that and i'm not sure febreeze is available here.

nice visvims man Minya. I'm sure you'll absolutely love them. The newtons are one of my fave visim shoes. and they'll possibly last you pretty long. I've had my unrivaled newtons for about a year already and have been wearing the shit out of them and they still are holding up pretty well.

I'm new to SF and dry denim and stuff, but I've been a supporter of Visvim from day 1. It's one of the few jap labels I am still a fan of. Anyhow, just to share what my newtons look like.

They're a mix of canvas and elk skin, not suede like what the ones minya just got:

hey guffer, you have a pair of raw dukes as well right? wondering if you've soaked them before. did u experience any shrinkage? how did the denim turn out? thanks in advance

he told me otherwise too. he said they're out of black denim for now. which is why I ordered a pair of raw dukes. Just got them just yesterday. Pretty impressed. They're not as slim as NS or slim jims tho
