Washed my Imperials, details are inside

[kwiteaboy]

Imperial are all 36" inseam, except for the deadstock washed black Dukes.

[synthi]

Wowzers - stunning.

[Denim R]

unbelievable.

[Serge d Nimes]

I am not a big fan of wallet fades, so I don't usually wear my wallet. I used a different wallet the first couple of months and I kept it in my left front pocket. With the big back pockets a wallet is a little uncomfortable anyway.

These had a 36" inseam till I washed and hemmed them to 33". They did not shrink at all.

[cryptoclastic]

Wow, those things are amazing. I really want a pair of Imperials now. Beautiful jeans Serge.

[Yet Fung]

I agree, I really want a pair too. It's too bad that this summer's been so busy with weddings that I had to buy a suit, cuz now all my money's gone.

[the black arm]

exceptional wear around the knees, those pics just raised the imperials a copule of notches on my next pair of denim list.

is that cellphone fade on the front right pocket? I think can make out an anteanna . . .

[Serge d Nimes]

yes, it is a cellphone fade. I am sorta uncertain if I like it or not, but at this point it is unavoidable unless I wear one of those lame belt clips.

[homi29]

so did u hand wash them in ur tub with dr.bronners?

could u just go into a little more detail regarding how u washed em, i love how they look and id love to achieve that amount of wear one day

[SoloC]

Can you post a picture of you wearing it? Always seen ppl posting their denim after wash but not much posts showing how it acturally looks like on a person. So I'm curious on how it looks.

[Serge d Nimes]

I think I explained the wash quite well. Hot water, sink, Dr. Bronners, minimal agitation, 45 minutes, imersion rinse, hang dry. What more do you want? It ain't complicated. I have a new digital camera coming this next week, so I will get some pics with them on then.

"could u just go into a little more detail regarding how u washed em, i love how they look and id love to achieve that amount of wear one day"

not sure if this helps, but when getting the water soapy I run the water over the bar of soap, so that no actual soap touches the jeans, only soapy water. Then just let the jeans sit in the soapy water. Drain soapy water, refill with clean water and let jeans rinse.

[Serge d Nimes]

I use liquid Dr. Bronners

[ryandenim]

you got them nice and filthy. nice work

[M.O.A]

gosh i love these things

Anyone have any ideas about who the melb stockists for imperial are? I know that Buddy Love is one of the two, but they don't have stock yet. Apparrently there is another store in the fitzroy area that already has stock. Any tip-offs as to which store it is would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know the store's name, but it's near the corner of Brunswick and Johnson St.. Imperials are around AU$260-280. It's just off Brunswick st... I think it's Victoria St. I'll should be able to get the full address next week as my office is around the corner.

They look nice (first time that I've seen them). They also stock Rag & Bone.

[kwiteaboy]

Those black raw look so fucking sharp.

[chapital]

Man I can almost taste 'em... been waiting so long....

[Guest Phrost]

Wow, those look great, especially for 4 months. Did you use a scented Dr. Bronner's soap or the mild, unscented one?

[donkaiser]

Where are Imperials made in? Australia or Japan?

I went check them out but didn't see any tag which usually refer to the good' origin.

[Tyro1]

are they made in melbourne or queensland? I've heard both stories?

[swooc]

The HQ is in Queensland, so i'm going to assume it's made up there.

[BOORADLEY]

those look badass serge. thinking of starting something new soon?

[Tyro1]

The HQ is in Queensland, so i'm going to assume it's made up there.

Cheers for that, I someone tried to tell me they were made in an old Levis factory in Melbourne, but i thought they were made somewhere in QL.
