I did it both ways -- inside out, and from the outside in.

I did it inside out at first. next time i'll do it both ways. I'd def. go inside out first, though, since you can actually see the selvage that you are ironing.

I received my dukes today. I just ironed them and they are ready to rock. I'm going to wear them tonight. I am impressed with them, the same high quality denim as my kings.

[minya]

Now I know how women feel. ): Finally got my Dukes in today and tried them on really quick before work. I didn't even get all the buttons through. It wasn't worth the effort since I had to change for work a minute later. Fucking awesome jeans, even if breaking them in is going to be a painful experience. Pics forthcoming when I can actually get them on.

I got a 36. Right away they button up with a bit of resistance. I bet they are 35". I did not measure them, I forgot. They are a little tight in the hips and thighs, they fit slim on the back/sides of my hips/thighs. i love how they are below the knee. The jeans are def. dope. I wish the kings were a bit less baggy but now I have two styles from imperial, both great jeans.

why do you ask? how are your 32's goin? I think if I had a 34 I wouldn't be able to put them on. These fit about the same as my 34 SS's did. Maybe just a bit more room but not much. seems a bit tighter fit near the back/side of the thigh.

Managed to get my Dukes on today (with quite a bit of labored breathing involved). My heart sunk a little bit when I realised how many times I'll have to go to the restroom today. Let's just hope I don't get aroused, I think my penis will break. ): ): ): Pics later if I find some time.

they're a LOT slimmer than New Standards. They're pretty much skintight on my thighs. I don't have chicken legs, but I don't have huge fat biker legs either, so they're pretty tight. They're not tapered, perfectly straight leg -- the hem measurement is about 8".

Quote: why do you ask? how are your 32's goin?

They're still tight as hell

[kwiteaboy]

Have you been wearing them everyday, minya?

[minya]

Not every day. They probably have about 10 - 12 days worth of wear so far. I'm mainly wearing my SDA's, but I put the Dukes on a few times a week.

[beefcake]

If you guys post pics I will... eat sally struthers

(please do)

[kwiteaboy]

I've been wearing mine for like ten days, and they've stretched a lot more than I thought they would so fast (though not as fast as my Slim Jims, which have become my comfort jean).

calatrava was there much stock at all. my friend wants a pair of dukes in a 32 or 34.

sounds like they have sold out in ultrasuite

[calatrava]

i was there last week (thursday), in the perth store, and they had dukes and kings there. there was a 34 available in duke and king when i checked. im not too sure about the 32 duke though, but you should check it out as soon as you can.

Iron those suckers on both sides.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

Finally got some pics taken:

you know it just struck me that the twiggy things on the backpockets outline your ass.

[LanceP]

Has anyone's Imperials stretched a good amount? I've put on about a couple weeks of wear on my Dukes, and it feels like they've only stretched about half an inch, give or take.

Same. Mine have stretched a bit, but nowhere near as much as my other jeans have.

On the plus side, this means I still don't have baggy-ass knees.

[jane doe]

what about baggy-ass knees. does this happen with some jeans?

--- Original message by jane doe on Apr 9, 2006 06:59 PM

Yes, this happens with nearly all dry jeans.

[obsessis]

I know what people mean now when they talk about bruising on the hips. i think the jeans are cut in such a way where you get a lot of pressure on the sides of your hips. Mine are snug and they seem to rub a bit on the front-sides of my thighs. weird.

He probably thinks you're planning to wash it right away to get the shrinkage over with.

[greentalks43]

Those pockets annoy me. I hate when pockets cover half your ass even when you wear them at the right height.
