Imperial Jeans

[albeeeezy]

Hey quick question, I did alot of reading, but I am still a little unsure. I wanted to get the dukes in blue, and I wanted them to look more on the slim side, stacking isn't a problem. I wear a 28 in Even Stevens and had a pair of APC N.S. but wished I got a size 27 due to all the stretching. Would a size 29 in Imperial Duke's give me a slim fit?

thats how my nudie esod's were, i wanted the imperials to fit a little bit like this

[danskee]

^ go for the Dukes, they will give you the slim fit you want. They will stack a lot more than the nudies in your photo though unless you hem them.

[damienos]

once you hit size 29 and below they are slim fit...

[kenthenoob]

you look like you live in san francisco... why don't you just go to self edge and try on a pair?!

[albeeeezy]

^ I lived in a city 30 minutes from SF, I didn't want to make the trip for no reason (bart fare is wack)

Also I am going to weekand, trying on a few pairs, probably the imperial dukes and the SEXSC02 to see what I like better, thanks for the feedback. I'll update when I get back.

[kenthenoob]

i think the sexsx02's are sold out... aren't they?

[albeeeezy]

GAH! I hope not, I just pm'd kiya and he told me they still had my size (28). I might drop by today or tomarrow morning depending on my schedule. If they do sell out, I think I might just get some imperials. All good in the neighborhood, =).

Here's some tips:

1. When buying denim, always try them on first. the cuts could be different and you may need a bigger or smaller size. Always get a size smaller so that when it stretches out, it fits perfect.

2. try not to have bulky cellphones or ipods in your front pockets; it ruins the slimming effect and makes your thighs look bigger. keep them in the back pockets if you must, but becareful if you sit on them =]. i recommend hot messenger bags, even if you're only carrying two things. x)

the whole point of stacking is to even out the thigh to calf proportion.

get the dukes! someone of your bodyshape would look good in them!

I'm betting enjoy didn't agree and was just being a stereotypical sufu poster about it. I don't particularly agree with either point. Quite a few people decided to size up on the dukes after seeing brimbro's pictures, who had a fantastic fit in my opinion. People here seem to love wearing something in every pocket, just for the fade and I'd never put my keys or phone in a back pocket at the risk of pain and damage.

With jeans that are narrow in the thighs I'd say people look bulkier if they size down so much the denim starts to look like lycra. Even worse if they are tapered, and especially for people with disproportionately long torsos to their legs. Then again, that's the look these days so I'd never criticize them for it.

Just a blog thing. Wearing Imperials, hopefully I can get some feedback. Temp site 'til I can dish out for a .com

Um, I think what enojy meant to say that menamesringo tips were really obvious ones. Well they were obvious to me anyway.

Does anyone have a sz 29 they would be willing to trade for a sz 30? My sz 30 has been worn for about 3 hours total indoors. Would like a 29 in similar condition.

[ray]

i got a pair of dukes in 29. i'm a pretty short guy so they're long on me. i was thinking about soaking them but if i soak them, will i definately lose the shine they have when you first get them? because i love that.

[arlee]

dukes are sanforized, soaking won't shrink the inseam much

[ray]

that's what i thought. the selfedge site says they can shrink up to like 3 inches though. and my RRDS were sanforized but they shrank a good amount.

not all jeans are sanforized the same....

the most imperials would shrink in length is about 1 inch

the disclaimer at selfedge is put on basically all the pairs...

[jstyle]

I got a new pair of 32 indigo dukes, let me know if anyone wants it or is willing to trade for a size 34 black dukes.

[Luminous]

Pardon me for asking noob questions. I'm planning to get imperial dukes as my first pair of premium denim but can't decide whether to get the black dukes or the indigo dukes? I wanted one that can fade nicely over time, is indigo dukes the way to go?
