disclaimer for those "vertically challenged": if you decide to purchase kings, most likely they'll need to be hemmed. The bootcut will just devour your shoe/foot.

ps

kamikaze,

what a long list you got there (sig)

[RutanSB]

just be eesy - what's your height/weight? Ive actually been debating black dukes in that exact size..

oh and also, are those stretched out at all? or just about brand new? I'm assuming they do stretch atleast an inch, right? Thanks

As mentioned above, I'm 5`5 and 135 pounds. I've only had them for 2 weeks, and stretch is minimal. These are awfully tight, so don't be fooled. I say theres no need to size down.

Does anyone know when the new smaller pocket model will land?

[toufu]

sometime in march...

from what kiya told me

[sam113]

Just to clarify-

The King's leg is straight from knee to hem.

The standard definition of bootcut is a jean that measures larger at the leg opening that at the knee.

If I'm not mistaken the Kings are a real slight bootcut?

[Ahlvahroe]

no, im wearing my kings right now and its a true straight leg. i dont notice any flare toward the bottom just straight all the way down.

[just be eesy]

^ Our conclusion, fellas.

[kiya]

So i thought i was losing my mind because i SWORE the Kings we have in stock have a slight bootcut to them, hence why on the product description on our site i've stated that it's a slight bootcut and not a true straight leg.

So after what i just saw posted yesterday i emailed Mr. Imperial himself and asked him if the Kings were straight or bootcut.. his response:

"It's technically a "relaxed strait leg", but it has probabably about 1-2 cm of boot cut from the leg opening to the knee. So it sort of is a bootcut. Almost unnoticeable to the untrained Denim eye!"

There you have it, everybody is right.

[tweeds]

yeah i was busy comparing imperial kings' hems to the knees yesterday, and i couldn't figure out if that 1 or 2 cm was just awkwardly folded denim, or a real bootcut.

at the same time, don't most people hem their imperials? that would effectively eliminate any bootcut.

Recieved my Raw Imperial Dukes from Kiya earlier today. They are simply incredible and well worth every penny and dollar spent. The inseam in GINORMOUS ! Need to get that adjusted soon. Here are pictures, sorry for the quality.

Just picked up my pair from the kind UPS man. Thanks to Kiya from Selfedge for my Raw Imperial Dukes. These jeans are absoutely stunning and well worth every penny and dollar spent. Though the hems are ginormous... I will get that taken care of. Here are some pictures, sorry for the quality.

[indigo_junkie]

Nice pics. Reminds me when I got my pair of Dukes. The guy at Another (Sydney) suggested the Kings, because I don't usually wear slim jeans. I went with the Dukes because I thought they looked better on me than the Kings, (even though they were as tight as heck). I had a bit of a panic attack once I got home though. I have largish legs (23 inches - much smaller than from my bodybuilding days when I had 28 inch legs, I only wore shorts back then) and the jeans were so tight on my thighs, the weave started to look as though it was distorting. The waist was pretty tight too. but after a solid week of wearing, the waist stretched out and the legs just feel comfortably tight. I have them around whenever I get the urge to wear slimfits (even though they're more of a straight leg jean - compared to my RRDS and 55s, they're def. slim) I've got to stop looking at those pics, because I might get the urge to go down and get me a pair of black Dukes.

[vjiforlife]

congrats on the dukes! i have pair and they are my favorite right now. wait until until they break in a little and you will love em? great for cuffing too.

That's exactly what I did - got them from another member here and they look brand new except in the back left pocket. So now I have indigo and black dyed dukes - my indigos are going on sixish months and look really nice but they need some crotch repairing. I decided to get 31's in the blacks since the 32's fit perfect but are a little loose in the waist. Never before have I struggled so hard to button a pair of jeans! It's worth it - they fit the same as my 32 indigo's except in the waist which is already stretching. I'm waiting now to see what their new models look like I'm addicted.

[rocker4life]

imperials are very high quality and of course, great looking..the denim is sooo nice and so is the fit

[Stratman]

I'm really interested in some Imperials. I'm new to raw denim and currently have my first pair of apc ns. Which would be the closest fit to them, Kings or Dukes. I would have to order and not try them on. My apc's are 35 and I was thinking 36 in either pair. Do these jeans stretch alot? I don't want a skin tight fit. Any help would be appreciated gents.

[fallen angels]

^get size 36 Dukes.

[damienos]

Closest fit to APC NS would be the Dukes.

The Imperial denim is not as stretchy off the bat as the APCs. But they do stretch out over time.

The Indigos stretch out a little bit more than the Black Raws.

Maybe its something to do with the dye or something.

The Black Raw Dukes also run a teeny weeny bit slimmer than the Indigos too. Their biggest size is 36, i believe.

[Stratman]

Thanks guys.

[powerglov]

I have 29 NS and 33 Dukes

[snugglepony]

I have 29 NS and 33 Dukes

weird...

i wear 30 NS and 32 dukes :confused:

[indigo_junkie]

Aren't APCs vanity sized? Wouldn't know since getting a pair of NS over to Australia from either Europe or the US would cost me about $220AUD+ and for that price, I'd rather stick to Imperials.
