Imperial Denim News

Now it just begs the question, illegal patch, or smaller pockets, which do I want more.

I hope you like em both because in about a month they pockets are going to be smaller AND the patch is going to be different..

I'd get a pair of each if I could afford some Dukes (I think I'm going to get Dukes, idk) now and in 4 weeks time, but I'm not really able to shell out on two pairs of dry denim in a frame of time that is less than a month.

So I just need to weigh out what I'd rather have out of the new and old Dukes/Kings.

I just got word that it looks like the new production with the changes will ship out of Australia starting March 1...

i just picked up a pair of black dukes. they're fucking awesome in terms of quality and workmanship. i'd go for the illegal patch, simply because you won't be able to get this anymore.

the huge ass pockets give imperial its character. anyway mine are so tight i can't put anything in them, so it makes little difference to me.

the black fits slightly tighter than the indigo, the denim seems thicker. so keep that in mind when you get a pair.

The second cut is going to be what they're describing as a pre-50's "farmer" cut.

I wonder if the farmer cut means trouser pockets, or a buckle back or better yet both.

Any word on what they'll look like?

No cinch-back, they're thinking a more full cut with a totally straight let through-out.

If my size 28 APC NS (one month) are currently huge, any chance size 30 dukes would fit me ?

They're huge after stretching?

if so, a 30 in Dukes might work..

Considering you're in the Bay Area you should drop by to try some on...

just wondering, i'm going to be down in australia in april till mid may, would there be any chance that there'll be any imperials to pick up or is the new line already all gone?

[Dick Danger]

email Imperial today, if you're lucky you'll get a reply before you leave Australia

[twentyfoursevensins]

they're seriously that slow? shiiit.

i'm going to speed type so it gets there faster

[Dick Danger]

I sent them an email asking about NA dealers, by the time they sent a reply I forgot I sent them the original email, it was like 3-3.5 months before they got back to me.

that was before Self Edge and Context were selling them

[twentyfoursevensins]

haha shit. well atleast i read that a store in surfer's carries them, so if i dont get a reply from imperial, maybe the store will know? hopefully? probably not?

[DJ2xTech]

yesss smaller pockets. lol those things were huge!

[dubwise]

-They are adding two new cuts. The first cut is their first truly unisex cut which is going to be a more traditional cut that is slim/straight (not as slim as the Duke). The second cut is going to be what they're describing as a pre-50's "farmer" cut. Look for the first unisex one to be released in a couple of months..

Any info when this new "farmer cut" is going to be available?

[kiya]

We're looking at about three or four months maximum.

[tion4->]

...the only thing ever keeping me from buying some Imperials was the XL back pockets...this is great news!

[Seething Tortoise]

Are there any pictures of the new pockets and patch yet?

[supernudie]

Bump. Any news?

[Pandemonium]

they've been implemented for at least a month i think.

look up self-edge's website.

[supernudie]

I don't see any new cuts?

[closingtime]

any chance the new cut will have lower rise ??
