The nice thing I've found about the 710 is that even though they are a mid to slightly higher rise, they are very forgiving if you need to wear them slightly lower to account for the thighs or initial waist snugness. Once they are broken in, they are so soft that they don't feel restricting at all. I have 33/33 and 34/34 pairs, and both fit well, with the 34 just being slightly loose in the waist (which a belt fixes).

That is beautiful. RIP patch.

710 is a bit slimmer in the the thigh and notably lower waist, but they do look amazing when sized correctly. I'm debating going all in, all-day everyday on my 800s after I sufficiently fade my current Resolute daily driver.

About 5 washes in on the 710s now, The texture/graininess of the denim is really showing. Weekly washing does some magic on these.

710s are making some nice progress. Been giving these a weekly wash, not turned inside out, and wearing almost every day. Thursday is wash-day for these, so they're getting thrown in the machine as soon as I remember to pick up some more detergent.

Art Vandelay imitating life. Sorry.

Mine didn't shrink as much as I thought they would, but definitely about half a size or so. Gonna keep doing the hot wash/hot dry routine on that pair though.

So I recently bought two pairs of 710s- one in 33x33 which is pretty true-to-size for me, and the other pair is 34x34 which is slightly upsized. I plan on wearing/washing both regularly, but putting the 34x34 pair in a normal tumble dry cycle, and air-drying the 33x33. I'm interested to see how they age side-by-side. I'll make sure to share the progress here.

Good to know, thanks @pomata. I have these side-by-side with a new pair of Resolute which will definitely get frequent washing, so this will be a fun experiment to compare the differences in aging.

Thank you @beautiful_FrEaK! The only fading on these appears to be the hem roping and possibly a little waistband fading from a belt. Otherwise, they look very, very lightly worn. Definitely happy with them!

Happy mail day for me, Orizzonti-era Kyoto's (33x32) arrived a few days early and fit like a glove. The denim is incredibly soft and hairy. They almost have that sweatpants-like feel (I almost wanna say they remind me of a toned down Oni Secret Denim without the slub).

First evo post here! Here's my Warehouse 800xx after their second wash with about 3-4 months of being in a rotation (a few times a week at least).

Just bought a pair of Orizzonti-era Kyoto's in my size (33), most likely shipping out this week. They will be my first pair of anything from Denime. Did I do this right?

Oh those are good to look into. I haven't had a a pair of black straight cut jeans since I outgrew my IH 666s.

I would buy them in .5 seconds flat if they ever released it. I have been on the hunt for a solid black 47-50's cut and 1001 is absolutely perfect.

I hope my hoodie looks that good in a few years. Damn.

Yeah! First post here, and happy to spread love for some nice Japanese-made tees. Personal favorites for a modern-fit, plain white or black tee are The Strike Gold and Studio D'Artisan. Similar feeling knit, TSG fits a little boxier and more "classic" than SDA. The Warehouse are interesting and SUPER comfy. The fabric feels thick/fluffy but is surprisingly lightweight and breathable. I'd say they are an ideal warm weather/summer tee.
