I’ll say that I feel like any vintage repro from 1947 on can be dressed up or down pretty well. It’s probably easiest with 1947 and 1966 cuts, but even wider 1955 cuts can pair well with a blazer, Shetland sweater, and/or Oxford shirt if you get the proportions eights. The pre-WW2 repros (20s and 1937) may be a bit harder though. More traditional WW2 repros are more of a grey area in terms of styling. Wearing a pair of CSFs with a blazer may be a hard look, but @yokohama_menswear on instagram had some good examples of elevated styling of Warehouse 1003xx Warehouse 1001xx would be a good option from Osaka 5 once it’s restocked. Here are some of my examples of the Duck Digger 1947 worn 3 different ways if that helps (with tweed blazer and mocs, with Rugby and loafers for more preppy/Ivy look, and with denim workshirt and boots for more workwear look)

(Photos partly nicked from WAYWT) It’s been touch and go on the fit of the 1101 Big E’s for me. They are absolutely as slim in the thigh and top block as I could possibly go. I did have them hemmed to 29” assuming they would shrink straight away to my ideal 27.5-28”, which didn’t happen, much to my horror. Thankfully they’re getting there after 4 or so washes and I reckon after another hot wash I’ll be able to get rid of the turn-up entirely. I really like the fit of these now after much deliberation and almost regret. The fabric is still a lot rougher than the banner denim but is looking amazing, lots of speckles and rough waste cotton flecks, should fade amazingly and due to the snugness around the top half, should continue to form into a perfectly fitting pair.

Yesterday was corporate day at a pretty cool engineering/architecture firm. MF, Tender and FW Today is work from home day, MF and FW

I'm of the mentality that the fit should come first (unless you're going for the loose sort of anti fit thing, which is great, and then a cm here and there doesn't much matter). But it's really no fun to size up for the thighs/top block and then have a waist that's sloppy...especially if you're looking to dress them up sometimes. By measurements, the 714 would work for me, but they'd still cut it close and I've avoided them for that reason (that and I have enough). The idea of dressing them up or down is very likely just because you've seen them styled that way because of the preferences of Hayashi-san. They're blue jeans and like @yung_flynn said other brands will work just fine for this - it's more the fit and the minimal detailing that makes them suitable, not anything particular about Resolute. I'd start with your hopeful top block measurements for a given waist size and see where that gets you brand wise. Another brand that is often style more Ivy is Boncoura - their XX fit might work (not war model but still repro). I have to plug the Freewheelers '51 here also - it's pretty affordable from Japan, takes well to washing, and has a generous but still more refined silhouette. The stitching will last you longer than WH/Denime too, if that matters. They have a '47 too, but it sounds like the '51 might actually work better for what you want.

@YourArsenal i took some pics for you today. I am 185 cm and 84 kg right now. I think a W36 would be too big and a W35 ideal.

This is a 125 too

Mister Freedom / OA / Tender Just recently turned 40, I think I’m looking a little more tired. But feeling pretty good.

Definitely not a sweater (jumper) guy. But had to get this Bleu de Chauffe seaman's sweater after seeing a review. With Stronghold slubby jeans and Nike Daybreaks in my favorite colorway.

@YourArsenal is there a reason you're set on Resolute? Nothing against them but they tend to run slim, and if you're looking for a WWII model you've got other options, with what sounds like cuts that might be a little more suited to what you're looking at in a given waist size.

Lovely condition. I still think that the leather patch is still the hardest part for repro brands to come close to the vintage examples.

Visited The Flat Head store in Harajuku (Jinguemae) when in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago. Got a tee and a black/yellow checked flannel workshirt. The store clerk was incredibly friend and enthusiatic and helped me out with sizing. Highly recommend that shop any time you're in the area/

The 714 is a great pair of jeans that should fit a variety of body types. It has more room in the top block and thighs than other Resolute cuts. The denim is also very nice (color and feel) and it’s nice that you can order the inseam/length of your choice. I do agree that it’s a pair of jeans that can be dressed up or down more than others. Not exactly sure why — some combination of the cut, denim, specified length, and no frills simplicity makes them feel less like ‘workwear’ and more like a versatile pair of pants that can go dressy or casual.

Thank you for the pics! I'm leaning towards the 36w as I've read on Bears the waist comes in at 35, and some measurements on here post one wash states that they come in 34w. This I'm hoping will account for any shrinkage in some areas. Since rear rise and thigh are a big sticking point for me. It seems that the front rise, back rise, thigh, and leg opening are only 1cm/0.4 in apart between the 34w and 36. I've been going back and forth on this more than I'd like to admit 😅. But want to make sure I'm getting the right size since I'm not sure Bears does exchanges.

I tried it on at Antithesis the other day. Wearing my J58-WS underneath here and very confortable even with my liner on. Still not a fun of the look of black portions fabric but I kinda changed my mind on this jacket. Fabric felt extremely thin and soft, very nice at touch. I do really like the collar, quite rigid in a positive way and it stays in place. First time trying Fidlock system and I like it, chest pocket locks in place immediately by its own when you put the jacket on.

PX Max waist. You might be wearing them in a slimmer spot than you measured, or measured loosely, or the fabric has some give, or when folded you lose a cm due to thickness (ime the users who say the measurements are wrong almost always measure wrong). Easiest way to know is to measure your SP29 and compare. As for P44, I would always size for length. if it doesn't fit, most acronym pants have adjustable waists and worst case, you wear a belt.

Really nice people in there but the sizes stop at US Medium. Couldn’t get anything there and it hurt. Really nice T-Shirts and flannels. Unfortunate

Here is my pair, for confusion 😉 Size 34x34 One-wash Waist: 86 cm Front rise: 31 cm Back rise: 39 cm Thighs: 33.5 cm Knee: 24 cm Leg opening: 21.5 cm Inseam: 82.5 cm

P17 difference .. both in Sz S. as you can see, the new iteration in ds is cut shorter than the old iteration in stotz. and the waist cinch does have an issue with cinching.. pulling on the strap to cinch is much harder compared to my other pants that has the same system. Maybe it just needs to be broken in. anywhoo.. thought I’d share.

WTS: J95-PL Black Medium. No bag or spec sheet. Minor pilling at some of the interior lining seams. All else excellent condition. $450 + 4% PayPal if not FF + ship.

Finally got my dappers x csf aftet 5 years of wIting

Wanted to add a couple of lightning strike detail pictures of the Warehouse 1101 Big E.

Some fit pics of the WAREHOUSE Dead Stock Blue "Lot S1001XX (1000XX)" 1946 Model WW2 Model. Last one is a bright, sunlight pic comparing the Warehouse 1101 Big E (left) to these DSBs on the right. Interestingly the Big E are a 30, while the DSB are 29 but seem roomier in the top block.

So…if 3x Tender is the new trend.

Just got my pair back from being hemmed by Indigo Proof. I will say it feels a little strange wearing a war era pair that's so neatly constructed, but I'm enjoying wearing them so far.

Bubo / Ballpark / Tender x3 / Hollows / Russell @bartlebyyphonics Both fits going off, as expected How do you like the 125 compared to the 132? Does it feel much slimmer up top, in practice?

thank you; good to be back! haven’t been posting as been lured by the call of the actually water proof and effecient warmth-to-weight ratio: charity shopped musto and folk wool-fleece as evidence… (gorpxyachtcore) back to spring back to denims: think have found a good partner to the tcb 40s jacket: tender 125 (‘achilles’ over-dye: natural indigo not woad methinks)

Chest bag / fanny pack / sling for my great friend @srudy Badalassi Carlo No Fin, with Japanese cloth lining (and I made a drawstring bag for the bag with that too) and AustriAlpin ‘cobra’ buckle and slides … all hand sewn naturally

And a photo with my 714. Yes, this 714 is really cool. @beautiful_FrEaK For the length fortunately I had seen your post, which showed that it could shrink by about half an inch, I was hesitant with the length 32, that would have been too much short 😅 He still lost 3 cm but it’s okay.

I washed my Resolute 714 for the first time after wearing it for 60 days 😅 Resolute 714 W33 L34: One wash / worn 60 days / 1st wash at 40 degrees Waist: 40.5cm/43cm/40.5cm Front rise: 29 cm / 29.5 cm / 28.75 cm Back rise: 38 cm / 38.5 cm / 37.75 cm Thigh (top): 32 cm / 33 cm / 32 cm Inseam: 81 cm / 81 cm / 78 cm Leg opening: 21.5 cm / 21.5 cm / 21.5 cm It's interesting to see that the measurements haven't changed much except the length, the inseam shrunk by 3 cm between the new jeans (one wash) and the first machine wash. I'm really happy with these jeans, the fit is wonderful, and I think the wash has a lot of potential.

Just posted on Waywt and since it's all Tender again why not here. Yep, a markedly different fit was what I was after, and I've got it here. The 129's are still getting worn so I didn't want a replacement, per se, and I've learned I don't love hems that are characteristic of a lot of wider jeans so the full cut with the somewhat normal hem made sense for me here, sized up because it's fun to have a truly baggy pair in the mix and I haven't for too long. I did end up giving them a hot wash and double rinse because they were crocking like crazy, and I wanted to see if I could get any last bit of shrink out. I didn't do measurements but they did tighten up a bit, including the denim itself which now feels a touch closer to the Woad denim. Thanks for the note about the belt loops, interesting tidbit there.

The back are Comipel horsehide, unfinished I believe?

Yes it is. figure I get something a bit flamboyant to pair with the shiny buckle, the craftsman recommended these. Extremely fatty horsehide almost matte finish, properly shine after a good buff.
