RESOLUTE by hayashi-san!

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

I found the AA710 but they don't have your size. I already suggested that shop to you

The bandanna are from the Resolute fair St BEARS. 

The 711 has a lower rise and fuller legs. I can wear a size down in the 711 since the legs give me more room than the 710. Waistband stretches enough. 

So it depends how your 710 fit: if the 710 fits slim in the legs but rather loose in the waist you can go down a size. If your 710 are snug in the waist, take the same size.

@beautiful_FrEaK Your collection is super nice. I ‘m still looking for my White AA710 . Where did you Find yours? And those bandanas? They are super cool

i was wandering to buy a 711 rinsed. What do you think about it. I knew the fabric is different. General feedback on the whole model? 
And what size should I buy? I am a 33x30 in 710

hit us up we  still have a last pair in 33 x36

[simeonpisani 2]

@Signet thanks but i m looking for the 33 x 30 . 

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

Artificial light but we are getting there

There looking great , stick to that pair on the right 

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

So now I got the time for a proper 3 months/3 washes update

Is cotton thread used for the 710`s sewing?
Haven`t seen broken stitches on a pair of them yet.

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

I asked that myself already. I would say yes (also have a broken thread) but they are unusually strong for 100% cotton

Edit: asked Naoki from BEARS and he said, probably poly for the 710, 712 and 713. The 711 most likely uses 100% cotton but he wasn't completely sure.

Back in my younger and skinnier days I was squeezing into the 710s in a 34 (now on grailed fyi *wink*.) I can actually still fit them up my legs but they’re painted on and I wouldn’t be able to move (think Kramer in the tight jeans episode.)
 

Now that I have a more “manly” (fatter) body frame I’m contemplating if a 36 will work. 
 

I do have 13” thighs so not sure. I think a 38 would be giant in the waist.

Next week I'll get the opportunity to try on a pair of 710's. It's the only store in my country that stocks them so pretty stoked about that (Per Ljung in Malmö, Sweden). I'm not really a slimmer fit kinda guy but the 710 is one of the cleanest looking cuts I've seen. Really love how the thigh tapers yet straight below the knee, hopefully the cut will work on me. I feel like there are too few brands making more "modern" repros (modern being Levi's 66 until end of selvedge production in 1984 in my mind). Except Resolute, Denime 66 and maybe Orslow what are the options?
If someone like TCB or Warehouse made a 1984 cut I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

I have a pair of Resolute 710 in size 32x33 that I'm trying to sell off. They've been worn 3-5 times (I forget) and are in very good condition. I'll post the eBay link below but I'd rather not have to sell through them. 

Resolute size 32x33 (measures 32"x30.5")

Resolute is 10+ years old now, but has there been a fading contest here on sufu yet?
I think the brand the brand could be more relevant now and deserve more attention as vintage fades seem to be gaining some momentum at the moment.
No frills, washed out old 501s from the 80s and 90s have gone up in price recently and Resolute is definitely a worthy substitute imo!
I know I'll be buying a pair when I retire my next pair of jeans.

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

Nope, there was never a contest. I am also not sure if you would get enough people to join.
Most contest here on Sufu are done with a new fabric or model so you can "explore new territories" but since Resolute is so long around and has no new fabrics, the majority of the people who wanted to get a pair, already have them.

going through some of my old stuff back in Australia and stumbled upon this. crazy how much leg twist there was!!

 

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

Getting there, slowly. Still drying

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

I think I will wear them for more dirty stuff, to accelerate the progress.

[JohnM 1,414]

Ok, but keep those diapers on L or you'll have to wash the Resolutes too often ;-)

[Thanks_M8 3,529]

DC4 in Berlin carries Resolute now ;) Pricing looks similar/compatible with japanese retailers, plus free hemming for jeans bought from them ;) 

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

Resolute will raise prices from October 1st onwards. 1000¥ more

If you can wait till January 2023, there should be a small restock for some stores

Wow, cool! Good things are worth waiting for  But I got curious. How do you know?

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

@sindre another option would just to use a proxy service to buy them

Yes I thought about it, but it seemed a bit strenuous?

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,675,619]

Depends on the proxy service you use. Some are easy to chose and don't cost much

Cool! I just sent them money for the AA711 and it seems to be very smooth! And this opens up a long wished for opportunity: Have you (or anyone) tried to buy the faded Resolutes from Onomichi denim project?

[sindre 0]

Okay that did not work out. AA711 was sold out and Onimichi does not sell online. @jsn What is your store?
