Sewed on the tab and thought I'd share. No washes yet

When I was young I lived in Levi's 501 STF. Found a box filled with once dark indigo jeans that now are super faded but awesome imho. Feels like I just got 6 new pairs of jeans for free (while they off were already mine). They still fit like a glove and have many more years of wear in them. The denim is still super thick with only a few knees getting thin or near blowing out. 

These are insane!! Makes me want to pull out the 501s I gave up on...

Anyone bought direct from inoue-san and can chime in on shipping costs? I would rather do this if possible for the better hem.

That sale is tempting... Anyone have measurements for 60s in size 28? I wear 28 in 50s but they're a bit loose in the waist; however, I wear 29 in my resolute 710s and those are fine. I don't trust the denimio measurements very much. Their hems never seem as nice as the factory ones but man they are cheap. 

This was is a great thread... here's to hoping more pics drop here soon! Wish my 710 were further along so I could contribute.

Try the TCB 50s, mine almost reach my belly button with an 11.5 front rise and 15.5 back rise on a size 28. If you're interested in repos you'll generally find high rises across brands so long as you're looking at regular straight fits. 

Anyways, where do you all get your basic tees? I'm looking for some midweight black/gray ones around $30. Filson makes one for $38 but I'm not sure of the quality. https://www.filson.com/men/shirts/t-shirts/short-sleeve-outfitter-solid-one-pocket-t-shirt-10859.html#700

I know Naked & Famous makes circular knit tees for $38 as well but I'm afraid they'll end up too tight and too long.

They don't have to be fancy; I'm only concerned that they aren't stretchy and they will last.  

Welcome to Texas! If you haven't already, check out the Kimbell Art Museum too. Its like 15 minutes away.

If you're into art, or at least seeing some big names, you won't be disappointed. Michelangelo's first painting is there, Caravaggio's probably most famous painting, some Da Vinci, and of course much more artists/sculptures spanning a variety of styles. I personally like it much more than the Dallas Museum of Art. The Kimbell is actually pretty modestly sized so you won't be drowning in art either.

Also, its free. 

Me too, I was a little disappointed. But I did notice the other day that the my 50s have alternating thread colors on the waistband stitching. Very subtle, but a cool touch. 

Anyone have a go-to method for stretching out the top block? My studio dartisan 103 have gotten pretty tight over the last two washes. I don't think the denim has very much give, though I haven't tried when wet.

Here's my 103 fit. They get lower rise every wash would definitely size one up if I could do it again. Maybe even two. Sadly they don't see as many wears since they're a bit uncomfortable. 

Gotta get these hemmed but maybe I'll wait until the first wash.  Anyone want to chime in on the long-term inseam shrinkage?

Anyone used Buyee before? They're a proxy for Yahoo Auctions. I know some people here have used Sutocorp. Any preferences?

In truth, I'm a bit hesitant to try anything slimmer than my SDA (though mine are probably just tight because I could have sized up). It seems both the Fullcount and the Resolutes have smaller leg openings (my 103's should be 8 or 7.9 inches). I wonder if there's a fit that's basically the 103 but a slightly higher rise?

Anyways, I'm confused about the measurements for the Resolute 710. Here are a comparison of the measurements for size 29 off BiG and BEARS on rakuten.

                     BiG            BEARS

Waist            28         70cm=27.6

Front Rise    10.5       26.5cm=10.2

Back Rise     13.75     35cm=13.78

Knee             8                  ----

Thigh            11           25cm=9.8

Hem              7.15        19cm=7.5

Specifically, there's a rather large discrepancy in the thigh and the leg opening. Anyone know which is more accurate?

Thanks, @beautiful_FrEaK! Your reviews of both are much to blame for my current lusting. 

I've only ever worn 28 but stretching my denim back out in the waist and crotch every time I wash them is starting to get tiring. Should I size TTS on the full count/resolute or size up one so theres room for extra shrink? You can check out my WAYWT post from today to get an idea of my SD103 fit in the top block. 

Hmmm the purchase may not happen for a while but no harm in planning ahead 

Resolute 710, Full Count 1108, or Denime 66xx? 

I do have a pair of Studio D'artisan 103. How would any of these fit comparatively? 

Channeling my inner hayashi-san. 

Can affirm the above. After all, I do have a pair of 50's on my bum because of the cool stuff to come out of that thread!

They look great but I wish we could've seen what they looked like before taper, just to get an idea.

I wish I had some pics to share... These were (supposedly) only tapered from the knee down, i.e I gave Railcar the same thigh measurement when they did a whole leg taper. I think the slimness in the top block is a combination of the denim shrinking more than they stretch and my having large butt-n-thighs for a 28 waist. 

Quick and dirty shots of my Studio D'artisan 103. 

Interesting. I wonder how Full Count flies under the radar then.  Or any jeans with a red tab.

Whatever happened to the arcs + red tab version? It seems you can only find the non-arc versions nowadays.

Cheating because this was from last week.

3sixteen, LVC and PF Flyers.

I don't know why but I really like this picture. What a timeless combo: pf flyers, jeans, and a PBJ. I'm going to have to make my next PBJ round.
