Most people i have seen wearing them rock them with dunk hi and chunkier shoes.

pretty much standard like the duke but just looser in the leg.

brisbane, but my mate ain't 18 yet so if you mean you have seen him out i doubt it.

I have only seen a handful of imperials around brisbane. The place is pretty dead for fashion, specially jeans. BEst stuff you can get at is crappy evisu with those gaudy big full leg gulls and some dunce washed edwins yuck.

ur friends jeans look a lot lighter, has he washed them or is this a new sort of denim for imperial.

If loving denim is wrong i don't want to be right.

[polly7]

No he has worn them in for a little bit. They look darker in real life, maybe its the camera settings.

[Denim R]

just found some posts about imperial on http://www.sneakerfreaker.com

bizarre what is it with sneakerheads and raw denim now.

[nairb49]

couldn't find the article about imperial on there, cool site though.

how long has it been taking you guys to get e-mails back, i've e-mailed twice and nothing so far. I like the look of the Kings and need a pair haha

[obsessis]

where have you seen a pic of the kings? if you have one let me know where it is.

he takes a while to email. don't worry about it, he'll get back to you in a week or so.

Edit: the two guys on the website are wearing Dukes, confirmed by the info guy. He says they redesign every pair for the size, so a size 30 would have a thinner cut than the size 34 (the ones the black guy is wearing). Hopefully i can order my pair soon. I'm still confused about sizing and i think they really want me to pick the right size. So consensus is size up 2 ? I'm a size 32 in helmut lang, studio d'artisan, and most denim. I'm a size 30 in APC. What you think ?

I think maybe a 32 in the DUKE.

[Handlethevibe]

I'm like a 30/31 waist and they told me that 32 dukes would be good for me.

[johninger]

when they say genuine waist measurement, they mean you should get a tape measure and check what your waist measurement is.

That will be your size.

johninger how long have you known about these jeans.

[johninger]

a couple of years now i think. although i feel like i have known them forever. it was destiny.

I hope indigo doesn't cause cancer...

Does anyone know if these are current season or next season? Anyone tried buying them through the email?

[Denim R]

dude this is the imperial "denim" thread. You should post that stuff somewhere else.

[minya]

now I want a pair of Imperials. Let's see if they'll ship to me.

[crisis]

haha good luck man, it's a battle. I e-mailed them back and forth one night four times or so last week and they were trying to get my size, i haven't heard back from them since. I think i remember that you're from SF Bay, same as me so i'm pretty sure they'll ship to you. We'll see if i can finish the transaction

[minya]

yeah I'm a Bay Area SFer (altho I'm in Canada now).

I guess they are between shipments huh?

[in progress]

minya-

they're in the process of a big inventory push or something like that, super busy so they say.

takes them a little while to get back to people, i thinik its the same guy who answers all the info emails.

i'm still tossing the coin between another pair raw blue, or the eternals.

[obsessis]

Still waiting. They are bad at returning emails, if you email them they'll get back to you within a week or so.

There are pics of them on their website if you want to see them.

[Denim R]

maybe they are going for starvation marketing approach.

[obsessis]

I placed my order two months ago and they haven't had my kings ready yet.

[obsessis]

I just got a message from Info so he was checking email tonight.

[kwiteaboy]

Haha..I'm jealous. I emailed yesterday and he didn't email me today :'(

[obsessis]

I'm tight with the info dude.
