Imperial Jeans

[m1sterko]

i agree going true to size would be best

judging from the pictures, they look "okay" but i think you can do much better by sizing down or something

[monook]

context restocked their imperials and now has shearers.. the fit pics there look nice....

[btbam]

Trust me i could not get a smaller size on if i tried. the differance between context and me, is i think i am wearing mine lower.

[hooploops]

I love the way imperial jeans feel when raw. I was wondering if you guys could give me some other suggestions on other brands of jeans that have a similar feel when raw. Thnx in advance for the help.

[windy88]

perhaps, dior 19cm MIJ raw indigo?

[Shishido]

Imperial dukes worn on/off. 2 soaks about to give em the first wash. hopefully it goes out well, the black denim doesnt fade as fast as indigo. Pics, sry for the weird lighting. Enjoy!

[maenterus]

looking good there but i'd say hold it for longer.. give em another soak then beat em up for another 6 months. you'll be rewarded by your patience

[dito]

how long have you been wearing yours duke?seems you need more time to break it before you had soaked

[ADDIC]

those are some sexy dukes

[hooploops]

anyone interested in some size 34 dukes?

[Eason]

[Sauc3]

[Guest Montreal]

Loooking for a pair of dukes in 34

[vamks]

Does anyone know where you can get a pair in LA? I wanna try it on before buying it, but I don't have the luxury of going to SE in SF.

Seriously?!? Forget about searching, there are TWO people selling size 34 Dukes on this page alone!

vamks- they aren't available anywhere is LA... SE is your best bet!

[sneakeraddict]

Why aren't Shearers available in 36 inseam like all other Imperials?

Duke Raw Indigo

1 year, no wash.

[ryandenim]

Finally committed to one pair for a full year. Nice job. Can you do it again?

[skistar]

those are sick Sam! +rep

Any chance of a better picture of the back patch? I love the idea of making it with raw leather and how it evolves along with the denim.

Loving my Dukes so far, got them from you guys about 5 months ago but they've been sharing time with a couple other pairs. Ill try to wear them harder and try to get some evo pics up. Thanks for the inspiration!

[vamks]

Sam, those are absolutely gorgeous. Great photography too.

Question about the fitting, sorry if this has been asked, but how does the fit compare to the Skull 5010xx? I read in another thread that the skulls are more loose near the thighs? I love both but I need some mobility to skate and such... any help would be appreciated.

Selfedge has the sizing info on both pairs; skulls have slightly more thigh room.

I was just in context a few days ago picking up some jeans, and I must say Sam's Dukes look as good in person as they do in those pictures

[ADDIC]

sick dukes, Sam.

[Wesley Pipes]

damn sam hopefully my black dukes will look like a grey scale version of that.

[ryandenim]

Sam113 has not washed them after one year of daily wear. Should he wash them? He keeps asking me if he should, and I keep saying yes. I want him to give them a good wash and wear them for a few months after the wash, then retire them to the Context Denim Hall of Fame. He needs some advice from SUFU.

[n33ss]

I have a pair of black dukes FS in the market, 30

[Akre]

Sam - Wash those dirty Jeans!

They're gonna looks so great after a wash. : )
