I'm the same boat as fookums. Nudies were my first raw jean. I like them and still wear them a fair bit, but SF has introduced me and opened my eyes to all the other (way better) raw jeans out there. In fact, I just picked up a pair of skulls and imperials from SelfEdge which I am very excited about. So yeah, as said, nudies open the door for a lot of people to find a whole world of denim that they probably never would have found without nudies.

what sort of fit are the even steven....?

The Even Steven have a 10" rise. A thigh fit similar, though slightly trimmer, to the Regular Alfs, and then they taper down 1" from the knee to a 16" bottom. Also have very cool low dropped pockets and an extended yoke.

They're a really nice fitter for dudes who like the look on the super skinny jeans but still like to have a bit of room in the thigh. Nudiejeans.com has some good pics in their fit gallery.

Those look fantastic. Nice work. I've had those same jeans for about 1 month... I hope they look half as good as those in 4 months.

hmmm, maybe i like my jeans a little looser than the SF fit but before sizing down, do bare in mind that Imperial's sizing is a little on the snug size anyway.

I normally buy a 34 and my 34 Dukes are still very snug in comparison to pretty much all my other denim...

Would you say the imperial dukes fit similar to the nudie slim jims? I tried a 31 in the slim jims and I couldn't get them on. 32 was fine though (but still tight).

so the indigos have a fair bit more give/stretch then the blacks?

Looking for a pair of jeans or pants that are slightly loose in the thigh, yet fitted in the calf/hem to create a drapey/creasy sort of look... or something. I'm currently wearing New Cures so I'm looking for something different. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I'm with zaha on the nudie even stevens. I have the ES Dry Organic and I love them. They're a nice rise, not too low. Roomy in the thigh, but not loose or baggy and they taper in about 1/2" to the hem. Very nice fitting jean and the wear beautifully.

Hey cameland, do you know where your friend got the Nudie wallet? Are they available somewhere online?

great thanks for the info. I wear a 32 in just about everything, so I guess a 31 is the one to get. Man, I'm definately not lasting until July...

First post...

I love the look of the Imperial Dukes - seriously one of the nicest looking jeans I've ever seen. I'm going to be coming down to San Francisco in July so I'm definately going to stop by and pick up a pair of the Dukes from the Self Edge shop.... as long as I can control myself until then...

If I can't (entirely possible), and have to order them online, do you still suggest you size up 2 sizes from normal? Napoleon said he actually sized down on his Dukes...
