Imperial Jeans

[Wesley Pipes]

apc is weird with sizing. You need to know your true waist player.

edit: Dammit that was my 500th post.

How much do people normally size down off their true waist on kings

[Wesley Pipes]

I would still say size down 1. Some people do 2, but then you might as well get dukes. no?

[billbobfrd]

How much do they usually stretch?

[Wesley Pipes]

I didn't size down 9 or anything, but I am sure they will stretch enough to accommodate you. It all depends what kind of fit you are trying to achieve.

[billbobfrd]

Like how much would it stretch in the thighs and waist?

[jeepster]

anyone got any fit pics of shearer's besides sid's fit pics from the SE site?

thoroughly considering some.

[sircheesecake]

Next to nothing. This tpic has been covered in this thread before, either stay true to size or size down one. These arent nudies. Dont expect much stretch.

looks a bit loose

[operationjake]

for jeepster:

these are currently my backup pair of work jeans, thus the wood stains, resin splatters, etc.

--pulled up about 2" shy of navel; calves fit beautifully, thigh is loose, top block is "what the eff?" uncomfortable--

--pulled down to my hips; calves are still quite nice, thighs are hella loose (look at my fucking left hand), top block is slightly snug but comfortable--

--back view of previous picture; notice how baggy/dumpy/fucking weird the top block looks...--

color representation is fairly on, but slightly dark. in all three pictures, it looks like my thighs are huge, legs are bent outward, knees are bent, etc. but it's honestly the bagginess of the jeans from the knee up.

(and in case anyone cares, they've been worn for maybe 75 days on and off. i rarely ever wear them now. purchased in april)

personal verdict: i hate the fit from the knee up.

Looks crazy loose for brand new... probably gonna fall off once they stretch out... but I guess if that's what he's going for, they're ok.

Dukes @ 7 months

[cjbreed]

^^^those look very good.

and thank you for posting some evo pics instead of a sizing question. seriously this topic has been covered quite a bit...

[WayneGibbous]

You need a 29 in the Dukes.. Here's the size charts to help you compare the rest of the measurements:

The stretching information is on the product page... If you can withstand some serious pain for a while then get the same size as your APC, but like i said, the general rule is to go up one size.

thanks for your help kiya

So if i wear a 32 in NS i should get what size in kings or dukes to get a more relaxed thigh with a taper

Get a 33 in the Shearers, not the Kings or Dukes..

[WayneGibbous]

the thighs of dukes are not very relaxed imo. they have been tight for about 6 months of weekly wear. i have never tried on kings but maybe tailoring them would be better because i have to go commando for the dukes to fit comfortable. for comparison i wear a 29 in NS and have 31 dukes. shearers are also tight in the thighs.

grosssssss

I made a mistake in my original post..which i edited..

You need the Shearer cut, not the king or duke..

So how much do Imperials stretch overall?

[Blindfutur3]

Mine were a 29" waist at purchase and last time I measured (roughly 2 months ago/Worn for about a month) they were at a 30.5".

* Just measured and they're a 31.5"

Anyone have any ideas on how to stretch them any further?

[tjonow]

1" to 1.5"
