Same for me or I would definitely have bit on the black 714. Noticed the same thing about SC inseam too - almost too short for me

6,5 (197cm) buddy? @yung_flynn we should swap jeans hehe

acquisition of the month ....

SC 1947 Black OW + SC 1946 raw

stoked to see how the black evolve. Do you own a 66' from SC? Got the same size?

Has anyone of you picked up the D1888? Thinking of a pair in 34 or 36"

@beautiful_FrEaK

Are those Mapse worth picking up? SC 1966 are my favs so far!

BEARS is one of the few (if not only?!) shop that sells at Japanese domestic prices AND offers free shipping. Therefore usually the cheapest. Of course this doesn't help if they are sold out, of course.
Or when they inflate the price because they were asked to. But it went back down, that's right.

Hinoya guarantee vat and tax in their prices overseas. Easier to not receive unexpected bills. As mentioned by someone here, DHL etc is very unreliable for exact prices.

Anyone knows have many pairs they made of FC 0105 black/black edition? Sold out mostly everywhere..

Thanks guys! Here was some I found (made in Japan). TCB had a black one (40s). Real Mccoys still do a black. Also Rubato and Brycelands seems to offer a nice 60s cut ( but very expensive). FC 0105 black is 350usd now. Looking for Black/black weft. I tried on the SC type 3, but rise and was a bit too straight.  Nice to see they regular version, although it looks black/white. Also Burgus Plus etc has a few alternatives. 

Any go's on black jeans these days? Straight regular fit with semi to high rise and leg opening 20-23 cm. Japanese brands are most welcome. 

@AlientoyWorkmachine Think it depends on your bodytype (height/bmi). How streamlined they are will also depend on leg length (I´m 6,5") and cuff depending on size of you cuff and inseam length (e.g 32-36). The measurements was about the same as where I bought from https://bears-tokyo.myshopify.com/collections/resolute/products/resolute-714-ww2-model-straight  They write to expect a misalignment on 1-2 cm.  I also own a WH 1001 in 32" which feels slimmer than 714 33".  Then again, 33" Sugar Cane 1966 is wider/roomier/longer rise/inseam (more rise and space in thighs) than 714. Same with my FC 1105. 714 are still pretty streamlined if you ask me, but more room in hips/ thighs than 710. Not sure what WH you own (but if its 1001), choose a 714 in one size or two up depending on how "true" you want your WW2 model. I was mainly "disappointed" with front rise and inseam, feels shorter than I expected. There are some fit pics https://bears-tokyo.myshopify.com/collections/resolute/products/resolute-714-ww2-model-straight The model is quite average height and low bmi.  Also as you see on this link https://www.resolute.jp/archives/1482 ? 714 are Def. not a straight cut, they are gently tapered with more rooms in thighs and hips than 710, as Hayashi writes. I love the cut, especially if inseam is not problem, get a pair!

They look great on you.

But quite slim with 20cm hem.
How would you compare the fit to the 710? Mostly more space in the thighs?

The denim is the same?

@indigoeagle Yes 21cm would be best for hem. Def. more space in the thighs for the 714´s vs 710´s. I usually wear 32/33.  Never really got sizing of the 710´s (sold all my 3 pairs). However both rise doesn´t feel that different from the 710´s. Would say Resolute in general is on the slimmer size. Of the jeans I own I´d say the 714 is comparable to my LVC 1947. If you want the 714 or 710s  roomier definitely size up. 

@beautiful_FrEaK Thanks. Agreed, more "streamed" than I thought. Although they already stretch after some hours use.  Do you know where the cotton/fabric is from?

Here are some fit-pics. Jeans are still very crisp and does not "fall" naturally yet. Kind of bumped on the inseam (wish it was enough for a small cuff), but will work with winter chukkas. Idealistically I like the tip of the cuff to touch the shoe..Fit is pretty good, wanted a fitted but not constraining pair. Think they will be good with wear. Could have gone for a 34", but hassle with returns, so I´ll keep these.

Here are measurements (denimio method)

size 33/36, oner wash. waist 42 (side to side), front rise 28,5 cm, thighs 29,5, knee 20, hem 20, inseam 83,5

Inseam in 36 is still short compared to eg. my FC 0105 (34) and Sugar Cane 66'. I find the front rise an inch too low. The 33" is a very middle rise on me..Think a 34" would be better. Will sum up the measurements later today and upload a fit.

Got my 714's in the mail. Huge ww2 beltloops (compared then with sugar cane 66' in the photos). Still find the inseam relatively short for a 36". Also front rise is quite short. Overall a good fit and nice relaxed taper.

Did you get your pair @lee porter ? Good fit?

Snagged a 714 in 33/36. Love that R do 36 lengths. Crossing fingers for a good fit.

Is Denime as WH "only" offering amax of  32 inseam?

Check out Rubato from Sweden. They are much like the 50s cut french legion chinos. Japanese fabric (not selvedge). High rise. 

This is great. Hopefully more thigh room than the 60s cut!

No limited denim for their 30th anniversary?  https://fullcount.co/collections/30th-anniversary-item

Could anyone recommend which size to go with on Fullcount 0105XX? I'm a size 34 in Sugar Cane, Sugar Canes waist are a bit small in measurements. But also looks like Fullcount 0105XX might be, going off Okayama Denim's measurements.

I'm a 31 in 0105 and 33 in SC 1966 (which sits looser than the 0105). I'd get a 33 or 34, depending how relaxed fit you want.

I see the gentlemen from RUBATO is most likely releasing a 66-type denim. Their wool sweaters and Japanese-made high-waist chinos are amazing and they have been working with vintage for a long time. Think they will do great in this thread >  https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRVo7XscPf/

Some 0105xx love. Fav jeans, 4 years in.

Thinking of getting a pair of the 50s model. Anyone who owns e.g FC 1105/, SDA101s and can compare in terms of fit/sizing?
