Imperial Jeans

[oh soul legit]

just wondering but are your thighs really skinny? when i read the measurements for those imperials they sounded like they were pretty skinny but it looks as though they're somewhat loose on you, even though its only sized up one

[Skyline2]

Anyone have experience getting Dukes tapered? Is it advisable? Mine drag a little bit when I throw on my Vans, which is an issue since that is everyday.

I ask since when they dragged at first my initial thought was to get them hemmed, so I had an inch and a half chopped and can't think of a more sacrilegious act I have performed in my recent past. The stacking that will be lost because of this will be missed. Will a slight taper solve my problem? Help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

oh soul legit,

yeah my thighs are pretty damn skinny actually lol, but it should fit a lot snugger after the hot soak, which I'm gonna do tomorrow haha. Basically, unsanforized = shitload of shrinkage. The measurements for the proxis are actually kinda weird because it's a huge jump in measurements when it goes from 28 to 29. like a good .8 inches or so, unsoaked. Cause I mean, Dukes are like 10.3 in the thigh and these are 10.9 so it's a pretty big jump for me. Anyway I'll be posting post-soak pics soon so stay tuned.

To skyline2, personally I wouldn't get my dukes tapered cause it makes your selvage look a lot wider which doesn't really appeal to me. You can scan the imperial thread for people that posted pics of their tapered dukes which look a bit off, unless you don't cuff em. so if you don't cuff, find a good tailor to taper but if you wanna show off a bit of selvage, don't. I wear vans on a daily basis but they rarely heel drag, if at all so it's never been an issue for me.

Everyone reading this is gonna be like "lawl this guy has like 3 posts, don't listen to him" but that's just my 2 cents. Hope it helps you

I heard the denim texture used on Pronto's are pretty uneven and would shrinks a lot...do let us know how it goes!

Kryosus if that's your pre soak fit...good luck buttoning those post soak!

[apples]

Kryosus, how long is the inseam? And could you take some close-ups of the denim and construction?

[jigsaw]

nice pickup on those proxi

[Kryosus]

I have no idea what the inseam is and I'm too lazy too measure haha. My guess would be that they're about 35ish. Just took some macro shots to show the detail and a show comparing the proxis, dukes, and 5010xx 6x6.

Not gonna soak today afterall cause the weather sucks for drying =/

soon though.

Edit: they're nice and slubby. yum, jean hairs

[Kryosus]

What happened to your patch?

[apples]

Either you decided to mirror your images or those are RHT, which, if I am not mistaken, is not LHT.

I am looking to buy a pair of Imperial Shearers. However I am a tall and skinny guy with not much ass. I wonder if, with the high rise and roomy seat and all, if I am going to be ok with these? I am looking for this type of fit...:

just bought my first pair of imperials

they're shearers sz. 30. what do you guys think about the fit?

[t4trouble]

also, what do you think which size should I get? I am a 34 in Samurai 710s, should I get a 33 in the shearers?

thanks guys...

Warm soaked my shearer's last week, and man they are finally starting to show some wear. Since this was my first soak, I wasn't expecting for the water to turn brown

[Arsenal!]

Worn almost 2 years, through long bike rides, backpacking trips, etc. Couple machine washes, couple hand washes, countless repairs. Wanted to see how black jeans would fade, and turned out quite well. Pretty much retired, as I was having to sew them about every week of wear.

[Kregg]

^^ could you post full frontal view of them? Very nice

[Arsenal!]

I always end up wishing there was full frontal. But ask and you shall recieve Kregg. Thanks for the kind words.

Best I could muster indoors...loses some of the complexity, but the colors fairly accurate.

[Daniell619]

is there any color difference between the indigo shearers and the indigo dukes?

[apples]

No. Same denim. Same Thread.

[zeen]

nice work with the shearers arsenal!

and yea. arsenal won man city last wkend. wahoo!

[CMCiA]

gave you rep in the evo thread but i just gotta say: those shearers are the tits

[J.Goh]

8months & 1 wash

[TonyxTony]

imperial looking really good, would you get blue or black? I got 2 pair of blue in different brand (skull + apc + levis) what do you guys reckon i should get next? thanks

[J.Goh]

I still prefer indigo.

[Arsenal!]

If you really want black jeans, I think Imperial is the way to go (apart from maybe the IH 9634). Mind you, black denim is tough as nails to fade.

The lowest you should go is a size 33.
