i personally think it looks wierd, but i guess ill live with it

[crasswarrior]

My Dukes did the knee-bulge thing too untill after a soak and a wash and 5 months of near-steady wear.

Now they've softened up enough that they are forming some amazing combs that wrap around from the back, criss-crossing on the front - sans bulge

[Sauc3]

any pics??

[crasswarrior]

Ugh, only have the cam phone.

Not the best but I'll get them up tomorrow.

[Sauc3]

this probably already have come up but i am terribly lazy to go through each page on how to wash the imps, its still early for my dukes but i would just like a headsup on it. thanks guys

[monook]

how to wash? u freal?

slap em in the washer

turning them inside out is an option

[Sauc3]

i meant like tips and stuff or things not to do, thanks for sarcasm douche

[karl winslow]

If they are still fairly new, I would say hold off on the washing because you wont get the look you want. Trust.

Bought a pair of indigo Shearers off Self Edge online...

Sized DOWN 1... to a 31.

I hope I can fit my fat ass in these to get them to stretch.

this thread is deteriorating.

this link is over in the denim encyclopedia. it should answer all ur questions about washing/soaking, etc.

samurai method

for me it is basically cold water, gentle cycle, inside out, mild detergent, no spin cycle, hang to dry....

[isami]

[stukovx]

I was the second owner of these, the original owner said he dry cleaned them once

I cold soaked them with some soap because they smelled like ass when I received them.

Duke Raw Indigo

1 year, no wash.

heaven to my eyes.

Alright... got my indigo Shearers in 31.

I can button all the buttons when the pants are on my true waist (not at all where I wear them). I'm slightly concerned: will these stretch out enough to wear them slouchier? The legs fit PERFECTLY straight from the thigh to the ankle, but the waist is a little ehhh...

So, I need some opinion: go on diet and stretch em out or go for a 32?

[LaiShin]

Assuming that Shearers use the same denim to Dukes, the waist will stretch out a shit load. Hopefully, enough to attain your desired slouch.

[operationjake]

Alright well, that's comforting. Does anyone give a shit about my fat ass and want some fit pictures so they can see the fit? (Can't blame you if you don't)

May just take em anyways.

[m1sterko]

yes so i can fap to fresh denim

take them we'll critique it

If you can button them up you'll be fine, Imperial's denim stretches quite easily and quickly.. You'll be happier with the fit in the end if you just stick with the size you have just as long as you can get it buttoned all the way up now.

[kidkorea]

Operation, got any fit pics? Been wanting to see a pair of 31 shearers for a while now..

[Lc21]

So, we should size down 1 from our true waist for DUKES?

[monook]

fit pics, of course!

[robbeec]

i have the same problem with shearers, i get can a 28 buttoned up at my actual waist but not where i want to wear them. still tossing up between 28 and 29.

probably need to note, that it takes alot of effort to actually get in to the 28's and extreme tensing of the stomach to get the top button done. and im of athletic build.

29 is still tight but i little roomier already.

[operationjake]

Here's my first ever fit pictures. Sorry they look like shit. I wasn't directly or behind the camera.

Me: 165 lbs, 5'11", medium build

Them: 31 Imperial Shearers in indigo

They may not look like it, but these things are like cellophane on my hips.

[oww]

wtf is up with that pose, you alright b?

[robbeec]

are you actually wearing them around your waist? 31 true to size or you went down?

i found when i put the 28's on, it hugged my waist, i could still fit a finger and have some slight movement, in the waist band, but they were pretty much skinny hugging all round. dunno if theres enough denim to even get any slouch ha

[monook]

why are you standing like that? is there some hip flare or somethin
