c'mon with those shearer fit pics!

[dphi]

So are these new Dukes going to be available soon?

[monook]

new dukes?

[dphi]

Yeah, the ones here.

[monook]

forgot which thread i read it in, but kiya said only a few of those were made and go for 600 on ebay?

if i run into the post again ill link ya

they look nice though...

[kiya]

Yeah, the ones here.

I'll say it once again.. Those have not been released, and might not EVER be released. It's just a Duke with different (italian selvedge) denim and off white stitch.

They're NOT worth $600, to most they shouldn't be worth anything at all because the fit was all off because it was a sample.

[monook]

word.

.

[dphi]

Thanks kiya, didn't see anyone posting details about those Dukes in this thread until now. I just wish there were an option for something other than gold stitching. I like the subtelty of the off-white.

[skistar]

even if the cut was all off, damn.

I wish my dukes fit like that, I'm gonna go lose 10 pounds real quick, brb.

[ronaldlsh]

anyone knows how's fading like for black dude? is it harder to fade compared to the indigo ones?

[Opie]

Black is usually harder to fade and the fade is never as impressive as on the indigo version.

[ronaldlsh]

ARH. I want a more impressive fading actually. But got the black instead bcoz my gf said the color is nicer, and i thought the same way as well.

Here are my Imperial Kings that I had tapered. My jeans are now about 7 months old but these pictures were taken at about 5.5 months.

I don't get much chance to wear jeans anymore as my job won't allow me to wear them.

[loveisafastsong]

29 dukes just came in and having some trouble getting the top 2 buttons to go, anyone think they'll stretch out enough or should i size up one?

[skistar]

^as long as you can get your thighs in ok the waist should stretch out no problem...

[LaiShin]

^listen to this man.

[loveisafastsong]

^as long as you can get your thighs in ok the waist should stretch out no problem...

alright thanks a lot.

[napoleon]

If they're blacks... I'm not so sure about the stretching.

[btbam]

oh woah still no pics, ok guys what do we want to see?

Black or Indigo?

[mandel9000]

Got the Shearers a couple of days ago. Love the fit and the high waist, although I pretty much fill them out in the areas that are supposed to be loose and comfortable, ie the ass and thighs. I guess that's what being a girl is about, and they're by all means still comfortable to wear.

I removed the back pocket stictching, not because I hated it - I just thought the jeans would look better with blank pockets, but boy did I regret it after 5 minutes. It took more than 2 hours to do both pockets because of the v-stitches and (at least) 2 different threads, and that was with good sewing tools.

(Free tip for those who are thinking about doing the same: start with the inside, that makes it easier.)

Fit pics to come.

[hhowlit]

[btbam]

Imp Shearer. Indigo Size 33. Put on for the first time 5 minutes ago.

[btbam]

As I am opening a store and the builders are taking there time( allready 3 months overdue ). I have Dukes/Kings/Shearer's available in Black/Indigo. Available World Wide. Free shipping throughout Aus for $270 a pair.

[maenterus]

btbam, the fit seems rather odd. they seem like grim tim with a much longer crotch for me.

RE: Sample dukes in italian selvage with off-white stitching

I am the owner of these. I haven't gotten as many pictures up as I had planned on it, but I can probably get some if anybody wants to see. (The only one I have up is here: http://aycu27.webshots.com/image/44586/2002999052755570082_rs.jpg )They are a bit lighter weight than the normal dukes, but I couldn't tell you how many oz the denim is. The color is very dark, they make my SJDBC look gray. The stitching is dirty white.

[maenterus]

i can't see the jeans clearly. more pictures please !

I know lots of folks like to sag their denim but seems to me the shearers are actually meant to be worn high.

They do seem a bit lumpy worn so low on the waist. Strange.

yeah i feel the same way too. the fit pic on the SE website is better. even so, the fit around the back area doesn't impress me too much.

[dito]

hey BT are wearing in your true size or not? from your pics i think you arent 33, too big for you dude imo.. better if you could sizing down.
