Imperial Jeans

[Denim R]

will be hard to unstitch it, is not a usual thread like lee or levis, some special stitch don't know what it is called. like a little V.

[chapital]

I'm surprised so many people aren't feeling the back pocket stitching, I reckon it looks real fly!

[polly7]

^^^^^

im a fan of the stitching, but no doubt im going to get the indigo stitched pocket for a change up when it drops.

What's so garbage about it? You hate on every brand that's discussed here that isn't $30 and levis.

[PG2G]

For what its worth, I'm not really a fan of the back pocket stitching either.

[Denim R]

ah the old pocket stitching question.

i really like imperials design i think it is up there with my favourite looking jean from the back.

some people love evisus gull, some people hate it. Personally i remember the first time i saw it i was sold even though i didn't know anything about evisu or evis. I got on the internet and was searching on google "wiggly line of jeans pocket" or "painted swirl jean pocket". I was sold.

Not saying imperials is as emotive as the gull but i had similar feelings when i saw the imperials on the shelf, the design just jumped out at me.

i vote for the stitching

[PG2G]

I'm not really anti stitching, Nudie's doesn't look too bad to me and I definitely don't mind it on most women's jeans There's just something about the Imperial stitching that doesn't appeal to me, I can't really explain it though. Maybe because its so large... dunno.

[haptronic]

i was not into the stiching when i first saw photos, but when i put my black dukes on, my gf liked the effect of it cupping my arse

for my two cents i like it way more than nudies, altough that guy's that wer half unstitched looked amazing.

Just got an email today saying they were out of stock of raw dukes...

[chapital]

man, i really love those dukes, but it's getting real frustrating actually trying to get some!

[metalslugthc]

when are the raw dukes back in stock, does anyone know?

how limited is the production on these jeans? will i be able to get these in a few months?

[Denim R]

they seem to be quite limited.

[obsessis]

I'd be surprised if they were out already.....maybe they are, though, in the popular sizes.

[guffer]

dont they only make 200 pairs per style per season? im sure i heard something like that..?

[nairb49]

Here is the email they wrote me:

"Rob

Thanks for your interest in Imperial.

We have sold out of stock for the time being. Keep in touch we should

have

more in a couple of weeks.

INFO"

I asked for a size 34 so either they are sold out of 34's or sold out of everything. Or maybe they just don't like me?

[polly7]

unlucky bobby, are you going to wait? Or just go for another pair of raws

[bobby alto]

I didn't really want to wait so I just ordered a pair of Julian Red Cali's from fos5. I think I will try these again maybe when the new style comes out with the indigo stitching.

[polly7]

Yeah i have already preordered my indigo stitched pair.

whoa, you can pre-order?? Did you do this through e-mail or do you live over there?

[obsessis]

I pre-ordered mine. I just told them I wanted a pair and the size and they held it for me.

[polly7]

yeah the info guy is pretty reasonable usually ---- he has seemed pretty flustered recently

[bobby alto]

Did you guys pay for them when you preordered or did he just hold them and then ask for payment when they were ready to be shipped? I hope this wasn't mentioned in this thread already...

[polly7]

i haven't paid anything yet.

[obsessis]

I told him 'i want a 36 king'. he said 'they aren't ready, but when they are i'll send you one'.

after a couple months or so of emailing back and forth they were finally ready and I sent payment.

so no, you don't have to pay for them before they are ready. he will just know that you want one so when they are done he'll ask for your payment.

[johninger]

how are the kings?

If loving denim is wrong i don't want to be right.

I should be able to tell you on Sat. Maybe a week at the most.

[Brinbro]

How much are you guys paying to get your jeans shipped to the states? The total amount, not just for the shipping.
