the 710s will be fuller than your previous 3, but are still tapered.

Man, I really honestly don't like the way faded Imps look. Guess it's just me, they seem mad popular on HB.

i'm lookin for something like the grim tim fit but a heavier denim. and hopefully a 34"+ inseam maybe just a TAD slimmer than the grims would be nice.

I totally agree. I have never seen anything special with Imperials whatsoever. They always seem like the entire pair turns into the same color wash, but there's no contrast. No hate, just my personal opinion.

the dukes i posted were a travesty. i had a bad night in them that i'd rather not get into but they had to be watched 2 times in a row about 2 months into the wearing..

so they shoudla faded a little better.

kindof serious but, what the hell do u guys do to get ur denim to fade so fast? ive had my pbjs for maybe 5 months and the fading process is comparable to people that are 3 weeks in. i think that i do a fair enough amount of walking in them so that they should fade a little more atleast lol

well for me.. with my APC's .. when i got them i wore them.. every fucking day. I was so stoked on them and they were nice jeans so I wore them 24/7.

then i got my Dukes after 1 year. I wore the Dukes 4 days a week at least and then the APCs.

Now i feel with my Nudies that my APCS will get barely any wear. and deservedly so because they are faded as shit and the back pockets rippin through.

^i wear my denim every day too cuz its the only pair of pants i have except for a pair of khakis. what im asking though is, what do u guys do to make ur denim fade so fast? am i missing some important technique to get super fast fadez.

i dont plan on copying someones daily routine just to get faster fades, but i do get kindof jealous lol.

One of my homies told me that he puts his jeans in the freezer to get smells out...like the smell of cigarettes after a night of clubbing or hitting the bars.
