  1. same "problem" here.. too bad cause i was really looking forward to having a vintage overwashed look from these resolutes.

    but their 'raw' texture is really nice and interesting so i guess that makes up for the slow/lack of fading.

  2. so what's the general consensus on these regarding waist stretching ?

    i made the mistake sizing down too much on my last pair of raws and ended up not being able to wear cause they wouldnt stretch at all :/

    no trying to go 2 or 3 size down, im comfortable with a 39cm waist, if i get a pair thats 38cm, will it stretch to 39 or 40 ?

  3. The denim is a little bit "flat" and "muffled" from what I can tell (lack of better terminology)....Reminds me a bit of 60's/70's denim that's really marbled although I'm probably completely off base (Paul T can confirm), and I recall Gordon saying that Hayashi-san is more in to this type of denim...

    Also, there are a ton of examples of the fading on Hayashi-san's blog:

    I was referring this post, but yeah I must've misunderstood, my bad.

    so do you think this level of fading can be achieved with a "one wash" pair, or should I stick with a "rigid" pair ? asking this cause only the "one wash" version seems to be available to us in Europe :/

     
  4. anyone know where i can get the black/white Achilles low? i've only see the full black ones around.. thanks in advance guys! 

     

    they're releasing again next season

    with much needed black lining, instead of white on the older version.
