[ihaveanevilplan]

yes they were i dont remember 19 or 21 though

[jayrock]

They were 21cm cut with a 35"-ish inseam.

I've been waiting for a 19cm cut collab, and these are coming out right around the time of my birthday. Yay me.

[chrisbunnington]

those look awesome. same denim as the rest of imperial's line? i'm pretty sure i know what my next pair of jeans will be.

[RaymondChiu]

they look great.

will they come in both indigo blue and black?

[indigo_junkie]

THEY DONT SHRINK!! AT ALL!!!

i've hot soaked mine a shit load of times and NOTHING!

STOP SPREADING LIES!! fuckkkk

these damn kids talkin like they know whats up

I've washed my Dukes in hot (60+) water with detergent 3 times and they've shrunk 1.5 inches in length. Don't know about the waist, because when I got around to washing them, the waist had stretched a bit already.

Well, that's one pair of jeans I can't wear. I could barely fit into a pair of 21cm.

I just got my Kings back form the tailor. I had her taper the legs and then hem them up. It ended up costing 22 bucks and she finished them up in like 4 days.

Feel free to tell me if your opinions of how they turned out.

She pressed some line into the jeans... I dont know why. I will have to work those lines out.

I told her to not cut off the selvage ends.

Here are my unwashed month+ old nudie ESDO for comparison. - As you can see, the Imperials are a lot darker.

My overall impression of the jeans:

I love these things. The denim is really tough but it is still soft and smooth. The quality is very high and they have a really nice sheen to them. They are still pretty stiff so after a week or two I think they will start to look a little better. Too bad that the temperature is in the upper 90s all week so I don't think I will be wearing these during the day for the next few weeks.

Should I soak these things? They fit fine now. Also, I like the sheen of these now and I thought soaking them would take away the sheen.

those look awesome with the taper

[jo3 b]

you better work that crease out otherwise its a wrap for those

[apocalypse later]

Very nice fit on the Kings. Definitely refreshing to see a good, regular fitting jean.

[~Stangzorized~]

For reference.. I wear a pair of 30 RRDS and 28 APC Rescues. Got my Imperial Dukes, size 30 and they fit awesome. Quite a bit tight than either of the Nudies or APC's, but thats pretty much how I wanted.

They look good. A nice in-between from the Kings and Dukes. I'd iron those press lines smooth. Give it a light spray of water and iron them inside out.

[beardedpotato]

Man self edge collabs always look damn good. I'm getting too small for my old pair of dukes and as said, the fuckers dont shrink. Which could be good, but not in this case.

Might need to grab those.

[knucks]

those kings look great!

[Cameland]

I think what people are forgetting about the Imp collab is that they are aiming for 300 dollars! Holy crap thats a lot of money.

[supernudie]

You're right Dom, come to think of it, 300 bucks is alot of money. Almost a pair of Dior MIJs.

[indigo_junkie]

You're right Dom, come to think of it, 300 bucks is alot of money. Almost a pair of Dior MIJs.

But is the denim on the MiJ better than that of the Imperial denim (which is also from Japan)? And it's $50 or so less than the Diors and a limited run.

yeah the length does shrink a little bit but cmon now...it comes with more than enough inseam

what i meen is the thigh and waist are fine...wouldn't affect you enough to have to size up due to shrinkage

if it fits you good brand new, you'll be fine

I will do this today. Thanks for the help. Why iron inside out? - Just to protect the fabric?

[big man on campus]

okay.. so i'm really aiming to get a pair of imperial dukes in indigo. i'm 6'3 and 190 lbs. my true waist size is 32 and my apc NS are size 30. I want a fit similar to my NS which is slim, but not too tight. Should i go with a size 32 in the imperials or size 1 up?

[jayrock]

go with a 32, but don't expect them to be as slim as new standards

[flex1]

Buy true to size Dukes for a fit close to a New Standard. So go with a 32, the waist will be tight at first but will give a little after a day of wear.
