I've always thought of imperials and nudies to be similar to each other. I guess I mean more so in their look rather than quality. How would you say they compare?

[superhero]

imperials denim is slightly tougher, and slower fading.

[alx win]

Those slim jims look GREATTTT wish I had that kind of patients lol

[M.O.A]

i think the durability and craftsmanship of imperials is far superior to nudie

i have owned both and i prefer imps

[griffin]

APC NS

Size 26

About a year old, worn half the time

Thanks. They were worn less after the first year or so, but still fairly frequently, and often during intense activities.
