Posted this in the Ask a Q thread, but after no response I figured it deserved it's own topic now that I have pics. Has anybody here heard of Imperial dukes made with a new selvedge fabric? I am buying a sample pair of Dukes from a store owner, which are supposed to only differ in the fabric. Of course, it's hard to tell without looking at them in person, and I don't know what to look for. I'm sure the seller is legit, but I just never heard of this release. Among other options was a very similiar fit to the duke, w/o any back pocket stitching called the "The Shearer". Here are pics of the duke in the new fabric:
