RESOLUTE by hayashi-san!

[Jared_Lee]

I don't even think in terms of "sizing down." I just want the waist to measure and fit about 82 cm raw and 78 cm after a wash (BiG style measurement), but with all the charts reporting different measurements, finding the size that matches that criteria is difficult.

I love how washed out and light those look hoggy, Resolute is on my list for a pair down the road.

Eral55, the japanese guy working there had a pair of 710 last time i was visiting about one year ago, and said they were planning on getting resolute on stock. No mention of it on their website but it's not updated. Shop is well worth a visit anyway!

[Mr-Bielby]

Well I've worn my 710's for 100 days (yes I do count, I know I'm a geek, let's just leave it at that and move on), so I thought that I's put some piss poor photos up comparing against a new pair. These have been washed approx every 1-3 weeks.

And the only visible bit of fading I can find.

[Maynard Friedman]

I think some people are taking Hayashi San's frequent washing advice for Resolute denim too literally. I can foresee some pairs looking like 1980s stonewashed jeans down the line. Horses for courses I know, but definitely not my (nose) bag.

[volvo240thebest]

have to agree. I dig the 710 cut but some of the fade samples are too washed out for me!Should I ever get a pair of 710's I will treat them exactly the same way as other pairs (wait at least 2 months of solid wear before the first wash)

[Mr-Bielby]

Well with living in Bangkok and just getting through peak summer after 2 weeks I get that elusive whiff of ball sweat. So needs to be done.

[edmond]

how did you size boys?

[Mr-Bielby]

If you can handle the thigh on the 710, the same as you would for fullcount.

that elusive whiff of ball sweat

 

That is some beautiful poetry right there, it should, at the very least, be the title of somebody's live album.

[edmond]

i wear a 33-34 on fullcount so ill go with 34?

[Mr-Bielby]

I would go 33 of you can take the thigh

[edmond]

ohh ok . will they easily stretch out? whats the thigh on a 33 post soak?

[JohnM]

Where might be the best place to buy a pair of Resolute 710's for those living the USA?

 

Also, how might the 710 fit compared with, say, a Samurai 710 or Fullcount 1108 (e.g., front/back rise, thigh)?

 

Thanks.

Resolute is only available in japan right now (ok..a shopd in Milano carries them).

Best option would be

www.pants-shop-avenue.com

or

www.kaizoku-pirates.com (where you can find actual measurements of washed pairs)

[edmond]

theres a joint in hk that sells forgot to pass by and get a pair though

[Sugar Mountain]

Where is this shop Ed? 

[edmond]

simon! i think its the shop in wanchai that sells paraboot and old joe stuff

[Sugar Mountain]

Oh yes, that's right - Incredible Shop has a small selection. Mostly cuts like the 713 I think. Their FB page also had this killer shot:

 

 

[edmond]

howbmuch are they selling it? no 710?!?

[Sugar Mountain]

No 710 or 711. They only have (or had back in March) the 713 and the price was HKD1990.

[edmond]

price is not bad at all.. i saw in fb they have 710 now

[rodeo bill]

just heard that the pair of rigid 712s I ordered from pants shop ave have been delivered to my friend in Japan, I'll be picking them up in a few weeks. Very excited! Pics when I have them 

[edmond]

whats the cut of a 712?!?

[rodeo bill]

^from the resolute site:

 

The straight model with a shallow crotch that's tapered below the knees.

It has shrink-proofed to texture and has burned beforehand the fluff

which comes out whenever it washes. Zipper fly, paper patch.

 

I've not seen Resolutes in person yet, but I feel like this (for me) is the strongest expression of the 70s mall jeans repro idea which I think is really interesting about Resolute. I'm a bit worried they'll be small on me (712 only runs up to a 36 waist) but I'm optimistic, and as long as they're true to size or stretch a bit I should be ok. More asap!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It's a 505 cut to my knowledge
