Thank you, all three of you, this makes sense, and combined it makes for very good fitting advice. Guess I'll size up and wear them slightly lower to avoid the dreaded pull from behind.

Apologies for bringing up sizing issues, which I know is boring, but: anyone have advice on sizing for the 1947? Same as SC66? WH1001? Afraid to ride the back rise like a wire fence. In most of the photos I’ve seen from stores, the guys look quite uncomfortable, with full wedgie face. In the photos I could find on here, however, you guys look cool and un-wedgied. Any advice is appreciated.

Ah, another downside to having muscles (let's call it that), the 710 won't fit you. In my case, unburdened by muscles, it's more the proportions. It feels like the part of the leg thats meant to be a knee is way up my thigh. Going up in size just seems to inflate the waist. So going up from my usual 31 or 32 to 36 would probably still be too tight in the legs, but flowing around the hips and waist. Like wearing a giant washing glove. Only with two fingers. And made in denim. I have high hopes for the 714. I've found Resolute quite different from other denim brands I like, less workweary, tidy enough for office and my mother in law's sunday dinners. They also help keep alive my dream of becoming a surfing pensioner with naturally warm ankles.

Thanks! From experience, they tend to look a bit like crop tops unless they're around 64 cms. As much to do with shape as with height. Tried to wear a shorter one for a while, after watching Martin Sheen in "Badlands". The effect was not quite the same. On the upside, unlike him, I didn't go on a killing spree either. So I'd still rather be me. But preferably while wearing a Freewheeler type 1, I'm now realizing.

^ that looks very good. Seems you have a body type compatible with the 710, very flattering for those who can. I’ve given up myself, after trying three different sizes that all worked in the waist, but hugged the thighs and sort of crunched the crotch. It’s almost as if they weren’t designed for tall skinny westerners. posts above made me order a pair of 714s.

^that faded one is beautiful, makes me want to have a another go at finding a decent denim jacket. Gave away a couple of pretty but ill fitting ones during a move recently, now left with only a weird one from Chimala (which I love, but kind of feels more like a miner’s kimono than, you know, a denim jacket). Anyone have suggestions where to start looking for a type 1 or type 2 that fits lanky people with long backs? I realize there are a hundred threads on the subject, but I like this one. hi, by the way.
