Imperial Jeans

[elpha]

I'm not 100% on the fit, but the denim is top notch

thanks to the guys at context, with whom I had an entertaining and awkward conversation about superfuture

[toufu]

what's wrong with the fit?

they look good:cool:

[Brinbro]

I'm not one to usually comment .. on well much of anything but yeah I think the fit looks just fine. What exactly do you think is wrong with them?

I donno about the fit in the thighs, but everywhere else is perfect. I expect that when they stretch a little, that should help matters.

[goldengloves]

elpha, they will stretch. I have the same exact size and mine were tight at first as well. I think one thing that makes the thighs a bit tighter is the higher waist. I kept pulling mine down to my hips and now they have stretched to a good anti fit and are the most comfortable jeans I own.

[anquan bUUgle_BOY]

yeah dude i had pretty much the same fit on the thighs when i first got mine.....and they'll stretch out nice aaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

[dry the rain]

those look great, elpha. don't worry at all.

and anyone who's looking for dukes should really talk to sam and/or context. I put them through a LOT of communication/shipping/exchanging/fucking hassle, and they were always completely cool

i wish the washed black still had contrast stitching like the DS ones from last year. I contrast stitching on black jeans looks much better than monotone. dukes don't suit me as a cut, though, so i suppose i shouldn't really concern myself with it.

i'm gonna put in a good word for richie at Another Inch too. when i got my pair in sydney last month he was a legend - hemmed them for me in the shop with a good fake chainstitch.

heavy shop, great place to get imperials.

Just thought i would let everyone know that Imperial is now stocked in USA stores. Context(WI), Self Edge(san fran), The Closet(Santa Monica, Costa Mesa, Newport, Huntington Beach) - if you want a pair let me know.

[goldengloves]

The Closet stocks these now!? That's new.

Does anyone happen to have a pic of washed black dukes?

[Noddy]

i saw some dude wearing it just the other day... not bad at all.. nice straight fit

[CommieRabbit]

Anyone know if the rise is the same on all waist sizes? I know some denim brands have rises that change in proportion to the waist, so just want to know if possible. As a tall guy, I'm trying to decide if I should get my right waist size in these or possibly size up one just because lower rises look odd on my tallish physique, but if they all turn out to have the same rise then I'm fine with it.

[airflight23]

can someone please post up measurements for a size 30 in the raw dukes ( blue)?

thanks

the dukes have a high-regular rise -- definitely not low -- so i wouldn't worry about it. raw, they usually measure out exactly to the tagged size.

You probably just missed it, but Haptronic posted a picture of himself wearing them, on the very first page of this thread:

This is actually a pretty decent thread, that if you cared to read, would answer your questions. I'm sure you're really busy though, and didn't have time to see the page where Haptronic posted up measurements and pictures for the size 30 raw dukes you're looking for:

I just got an email that my raw dukes are on the way

I got a size 30 and will measure them before i wear them.

my raw dukes arrived today, i am really impressed, the fit isnot too much different to the black wash except for the longer leg.

waist= 30.5"

inseam= 36"

front rise= 25cm

leg opening = 19 cm

sorry about the inconsistant colour in the pics, they are taken under a skylight the middle one is closest to the colour.

edit: actually the colour is somewher between the graycast of the middle and the daeker blue of the third pic

Mis was looking for pictures of the washed black dukes though...

Yesterday 06:06 PM mis Does anyone happen to have a pic of washed black dukes?

[lamscott]

I just called all of the closet stores and they never heard of them.

[zephyr11]

actually checked out the washed ones, the wash wasn't exactly fantastic....

i'm sure if u wear it for a couple of mths, you should be able to get same or better look...

[superdenimdude]

you could check out www.dutildenim.com they have imperial denim and much more.....

[lamscott]

Anybody have pics of themselves wearing Kings?

page 19, of this thread. first post on the page. thorough

[inc1]

Do Dukes fit more like Nudie RR or SS?

[zephyr11]

neva tried on both of those nudies rr/ss, but it is a lil similar to slim jim for me....

[Swych]

I have a pair of dukes size 30 (I wear 30 rrds). Its tighter around the ankle, but same fit on the bum.

[chrisbunnington]

closer to slim jim is more accurate, they are definitely slimmer than straight sven. rise is higher than jim, though.

[dphi]

My size 32 Dukes fit pretty much like my size 31 RRDS, only with a straighter cut. Maybe a little tighter, but not by much. Either way, they're too loose in the waist, and I'm going to have to sell them.
