great, how do you know?

Do you know what part of the range they are getting and about what it will cost for a pair of dry Duke's?

[johninger]

BRENT

I do not think you can judge the denim from the photos. They fade very well in my opinion.

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

[nairb49]

still waitin on those pics johninger...

need my denim porn fix!!

hahah

[johninger]

yeah

I have my camera back now so expect them soon. However, i can't get on SF as much anymore, so busy around december.

I'm glad people are starting to appreciate Imperials more.

I would love to see pictures from those people who have ordered recently. Especially if anyone has a dry black selvage pair or a pair with the indigo coloured pocket embroidery. Tossing up which i am going to buy next so need some photos.

Come on help us out here.

i ordered the black washed selvage, same ones as haptronic posted earlier i believe.

hopefully they fit around the thigh for me, little bigger there

was torn between this and the blue raw, but figured i have way too many blue projects going on right now to devote consistent time to a black pair, so went for a wash.

i can't, however, get my mind of getting some new standards, my apc collection is severely underrepresented. if anyone is selling...

The indigo coloured pocket embroidery is coming next season, so not available yet.

[haptronic]

Info told me they are doing a raw ecru selvedge. and a broken twill selvedge, next year as well.

[johninger]

Broken Twill selvage, i would be definitely picking that up, i wonder which mill they are using to weave that denim.

alex_844 how do you know? Do you know the guys at Nomad?

If so an update on what pieces they are getting would be great and prices as well.

[kwiteaboy]

How can I get in contact with Imperial? Did you all buy your jeans through email from them? I emailed the info address a few days ago, but so far, nothing.

[haptronic]

^^ being Aussies and being summer, they are prolly at the beach lol.

is this the blue raw? it looks different from what they have on their website

[Denim R]

Yes that is the raw blue, i have worn them quite a bit so maybe that is whats different from the site.

Also, it is pretty hard to tell from my photos i guess.

[polly7]

Imperial blue jeans, worn them for about a year and a bit now, washed them about three or four times.

[polly7]

forgot the back

[nairb49]

nice polly7, welcome

how long did you go before the first wash?

mine should be arriving any day now!!

nairb49

[Denim R]

polly

what model is that, hard to tell when you are not wearing them.

[nairb49]

guffer-have yours arrived yet?

mine are taking their sweet time getting here.

think I might even go for raw blue depending how I like the fit of my black ones.

[Parker669]

I tried emailing imperial a couple times to get these, but they never got back to me so I gave up and picked up a different pair.. o well.

[Handlethevibe]

How come you don't have a leather tag?

Edited by Denim R on Jan 8, 2006 at 08:11 PM

[Handlethevibe]

Maybe he...took it off!!

[Denim R]

Why would he do that?

Maybe similar to that whole unstitching of the back pocket embroidery that people did to their levis for awhile.

Not my thing

[polly7]

yeah i took it off. Kept it as a souvenir, was worried about it getting cut up on the bitumen when i skate downhill.

thinking back i should have kept it on. My mate's pair the leather tag has faded nicely, the blue from the denim has smudged all over the leather too looks sick.

fair enough, you could always sew it back on.
