Imperial Jeans

[gimmegimme]

haha, i've actually been doing that. i felt weird about it, but now that you are suggesting it - not so much. thanks.

one thing i've been doing is putting on like 3 pairs of pants underneath my dukes and walking around the house like that. worked a little bit.

ha...its funny to hear what people are willing to do. you could also try soaking them and wearing them while they dry.

Are those SEXI04s the ones based on the 19cm?

[toufu]

^ yes they are...

[jselvedge]

thanks toufu. those jeans are sick. last i heard, the SEXI04s were going to be released sometime in the 4th quarter. my bad if i missed it, but does anyone know the weight of the denim?

He did that to stretch it.

[toufu]

lol that shit doesnt make any sense...

if he can wear 3 pants under and STILL put on his dukes goddamn...ahaha

PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!

[rirakuma]

Dukes do tend to stretch a bit but Im sure it will shrink back once you wash it. The belt I was wearing isnt tanner I just made one myself lol . Those SEXI04 looks really nice. The colour looks intresting, and Sidney u should turn around so we can see the arcuates please

[skiniks]

on my third month now with my dukes. just hung them outside cause they're hella stanky after a skate sesh in this heat. i'm really considering black dukes now instead of s5000bks.

I am buying my first Raw Denims, and I chose Imperial.

I understand you guys don't like noobie questions but sorry I really would like to know and get a quick answer please.

I am 5'10 145LBS and Waist is about 32.5

Should I get Duke's or King's as my first pair.

I don't like the leg opening a lot and I don't like nut crunchers.

Rumor round my school is Duke's = Nut Crunchers King's = Leg Opening

Which one should I buy?

Are these rumors true?

[LaiShin]

Duke's rise is pretty high. Most peeps feel that it's tad bit too high even. I would worry more on whether your thigh fits...

Anyway, get Dukes. Kings are meh~ Or else skip to the next brand.

Thank's a lot for your suggestion

thinking about tapering my dukes to a 7-7.5 hem from a 8inch hem....

unless someone wants to buy it from me for $200 shipped

i'll just alter them and keep em

[rirakuma]

Beezy i reccomend dukes and you could always slouch em. The kings are for a baggier fit for guys that are more built. Toufu you should taper em i think itll look rly nice

[toufu]

hmmmm....its gonna cost 50+ dollas

7in hem or 7.5in hem..

[poly800rock]

hmmmm....its gonna cost 50+ dollas

7in hem or 7.5in hem..

you have to begin to ask you how much of a difference .5 inches make.

[toufu]

its the difference between mij19cm's and skulls 5010

[Beezy]

Anybody got pictures of Black Imperial Duke's that have been washed or worn for a long time?

I just got my pair and would like to see what mine will turn out too

My first pair so I am very excited!

[toufu]

i've been asking for the same thing awhile back....so far..none, zip, nada

[rirakuma]

hmmmm....its gonna cost 50+ dollas

7in hem or 7.5in hem..

I personally dont like very small tapers but depending on your build id say go for 7.75 If you're wearing a 32. i think a 7 inch is going to look like some real weird carrot jeans and 7.5 will still be too dramatic.

[dino might]

thats laid flat. translates inch difference. to me that can make a pretty signifigant difference. at least to the trained eye

[toufu]

my skulls are 7.5 and yeah they look wayy different than my dukes...i remember zehero i think it was that had helmet langs which he got tapered from to 7...

$50+? Mine were like $14 to taper them...

[solenstyle]

I've had Black Dukes for nearly 8 months, and they still look the same as when I bought them... they are very tough to break in and get those fades in. I'm always running in them, walking, playing basketball, etc... and still no fades...

fuck you Imperial... but I love you, It's a love-hate relationship.

that's what chucksvintage told me =[

she said that it would cost that much if i wanted to get the inseam taken in and spare the selvage

that's what the majority of my post in this thread have been -___-.....the black dukes don't fucking fade....the best i got is an ass fade...

[damienos]

they do fade some...just not as obvious as indigo. mines going for 1 year but worn sporadically.

[mondo]

I dunno... my black Kings have faded almost the same way as my indigo pair. I don't see why Dukes would be any different. I'm thinking of giving them their first wash soon (been worn hard for about 6 or 7 months, but then haven't seen much action since March this year)... I'll be sure to post results regardless of how they turn out..

[toufu]

yeah...it is weird...i saw a pair of black kings that had the honeycomb fades...but never seen it on the dukes

[Knugget]

Care to help anyone? How much should I size down for the Dukes? My true waist is 29.5.

[toufu]

fuck the waist

just get w.e size fits your thighs
