Quick question for anyone who has the 712s, how did you guys size? A 32 waist in the 710s fits me perfectly but looking at the measurements for the 712s on Sapporo-Base, seems like I should go down one and take them in a 31 waist. 

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

I would take the same size. The waist is bigger but the rise is lower so the jeans sit lower on your body where. So yeah, i wouldn't size down (and I didn't).

Same size wish they did a w38

Arrived this week. Reading with Google translate really works...although tiresome

Just got a pair of 712s raw from Sapporo-Base, gotta say their customer service is fantastic. Answered my questions quickly and shipped the jeans out even quicker. Against advice, I sized down one from my 710s but they actually fit great after a wash and tumble dry, Hayashi-style! The waist has stretched out to about the same as my 710s although the hips are a tad tighter, probably due to the smaller size. I'll have to post up some photos when I get a chance, the fit is amazing. 

Side note: For all y'all that tumble dry regularly, how do you prevent those creases/line along the legs from setting in? I tried to tumble dry with a bunch of my other clothes but both legs still have sharp creases running down the sides. I don't mind it too much, but would rather they not fade too dramatically along the creases.

I usually avoid the tumble dryer from the beginning and would use it when the denim is already worn in a bit. So there won't be sharp creases.

The first response is to wash & dry inside out, and always solo without any other clothes. When new, I'll wash my jeans in hot water and use a hot dryer for 15-20 minutes until damp, to get the shrink out, and then hang until dry. I don't turn right side out until completely dry, as when wet the denim is most susceptible to crease fading. Washing & drying outside out will result in fading at the creases. After several washes and the excess dye is removed, crease fading is less likely.

A freshly washed and dried 710 in size 36 is currently my best fitting and feeling pair

 

(and Imgur really fucks with the quality of the pictures lately)

[JohnM 1,413]

I’m wearing the same model and size today too. Like em, but the leg twist on mine puts the seam in the middle of the back of my left calf. On a trim pair of jeans like the 710, I can feel the pull and twist.  

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

^should have taken a picture @JohnM

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

A seriously perfect fit on those 711

Resolute AA710 for sale. Hit me up! BNWT 

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

Due for a wash soon

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

While the above pair dries,

I wear the other size 36

[JohnM 1,413]

Great color combo b_F.  As you know, I’m a little less resolute on Resolute than you, though I love the texture, color, and softness of the denim.

[Thanks_M8 3,526]

^coming along, great

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

I started these shortly after my boy was born so they are kinda my "project" now. They are a W36 but run smaller and the top button is somehow closer to the left so they fit more like a W35. Perfect!

Only puked on once so far  (and now they are washed)

 

And a comparison

Great fit. I was contemplating on purchasing a 710 sized up to 34 from my regular 32 waist for a roomier leg/hip.

[Jared_Lee 3,550]

@efujobu1 I'm sized up to 33 from my usual 31 and achieved the extra thigh room desired. The waist will stretch to slouch, but not so big that they don't clean up with a belt.

Hi everyone! I’m new here. It’s almost a year that i am wondering to buy a Resolute 710 OW and a AA710 White special edition. I’m just unsure about the size. Usually my vintage Levi’s size is 

W 40 cm

R 28 cm

and the denim that fits me best in inseam is from 71 to 73 cm (but I slightly cuff them). 
I don’t know if I should buy a W 32 or 33 and a L 30 or 32.  I read they shrink in lenght.
Please help me out. I will buy it on Frans Boone  and since I am located in Europe I could buy more than one and ask for the refund for those do not fit me like I want. Thanks in advance and happy to be here (I’ve read all this discussion )

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

@simeonpisani if the 80 cm you mentioned is measuerd on the garment itself, you could definitely go with a size 32 (maybe even size 31 but that could be pushing it).

Since you buy a one-wash version they should not shrink too much anymore. Unless you plan to use the tumble dryer. So from the inseam a L31 would be the way to go. Or a L32 if you really want to hot wash and tmbule dry them because this way you can get some more shrinkage in the inseam.

Regarding the AA710 it will be tougher to get a pair, not many are available anymore at shops.

[simeonpisani 2]

@MoreCoffeePlease could you provide the measure of your 710? What’s your height and weight?

[simeonpisani 2]

@beautiful_FrEaK in your opinion a L 30 would be too short? I m 175 cm x 70 kg

[simeonpisani 2]

@beautiful_FrEaK and do you know a OW how much shrinks in lenght washing it and drying it with sunlight? (I read it develops a beautiful fading)

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,571]

Several places list the L30 as 70 cm length. And you said you want minimum of 71 cm.
Further shrinkage depends on how you wash of course but 1 cm of shrinkage could still happen.

My latest L33 started at 31.5" (80 cm) and after one wash at 40 °C it now has 30.7" (78 cm). But that could also mean that the one-wash prcoess by Resolute wasn't as thorough as usual, as a L33 should have 78 cm as length.

Due for a wash next week unless something unexpected happens in the evenings

[simeonpisani 2]

I purchased a W 33 and a W 32 in L 30. I’m still unsure about sizing. Furthermore probably a L 30 is too short for me if they shrink in inseam 1-2 cm. 
the 33 seems very roomy in the waist, the 32 less. But both seems to be pretty similar in thigh

By the way the rise changes a lot between 32 and 33
