ah cool. Which do you prefer in terms of the feel of the denim?

I wouldn't say I had a favourite, the resolutes are a bit boring at the start. I bet though you have nothing like them already (unless you have some LVC, or even some SDA) so maybe worth a go.

They feel indeed a bit boring at first but also unique if you had a lot of slumber japanese jeans. And i love the texture that comes with fades

Another one...shows the leg twist quite well

Well well well... A pair of nwt one wash 710s showed up at my door today, courtesy of buyee and yahoo auctions. 

I think I will be wearing this pair... Very often.  I ended up sizing up one to 29.  Some thoughts: love the fit and I like how's there's some room to stretch. The fabric is really comfortable and almost a metallic gray blue compared to everything else I own. Seems to be one color of orange stitching throughout but that's no deal breaker.  The last pic is a comparison against my sd-103 which is a much deeper indigo even after two washes. Sorry for the terrible pictures as well

Fit looks cool! Resolutes are a great pair of jeans.

[JDelage]

Nice fit!

Great fit! I'd love to get a pair of 710s one day but the rear rise measurements on BiG's chart seem real low. 

[Lendo]

Wrangled myself another pair courtesy of the homie HAZARDkid, and they've been my go to jeans. Pics to come.

[Max Power]

I did another wash with my wh 800 before the dwc final submission.

Looks good!

Gotta get these hemmed but maybe I'll wait until the first wash.  Anyone want to chime in on the long-term inseam shrinkage?

[Broark]

Quick, someone talk me out of buying a very lightly used pair of 711's from Yahoo Auctions for a good price... 

[Niro]

You should get it!

edit: sorry didn't grasp the'talk me out' of it part

I'm really leaning towards getting them, pretty cheap compared buying them brand new. Plus they already have the tab placed on the back pocket.

[Max Power]

Do it!!

[mrman]

Where can one get 711s in bigger sizes? They seem to  be very hard to find...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

What's a bigger size in your opinion?

Pants Shop Avenue has the 711 up to size 40 in stock: http://pants-shop-avenue.com/item/Re711/

[mrman]

Thanks, that's big enough! Do they ship outside of Japan or do you need a proxy?

Yep Naoki-san (PSA) ships internationally.

Bid placed, let's see if I end up winning them. 

[Broark]

711's from Yahoo Auctions are on their way. 

[Niro]

Congrats and my condolences to your wallet 

[Broark]

Could've been a lot worse, paid probably 50% of what full retail would've been!

[edmond]

Have a pAir of 34 one wash 711 with tags care to swap? Need some madenin france lacoste sport shirts size 4 maybe 2 of those

[mandel9000]

I misplaced @Lendo's old Resolutes after replacing the top button and sort of forgot about them. Very stupid because they are great!  

Not to bore you with details about the next week of my life, but I'm going on a hike along Hadrian's Wall (Newcastle to the West coast of England) and am currently testing/breaking in gear. In this case anorak and shoes, jeans are unfortunately not coming with.

Some super quick fitpics. Was too afraid of neighbors walking in on me and took them in a hurry, realised only afterwards that the lighting was sub-optimal.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Looks very good from what I can see.

Enjoy your hike! During that time, I'll be some kilometers north of you on a trip through Scotland.

[Max Power]

Looks great indeed! I'll be joining you english hikers in summer... And I should send b_f a list with whiskies to bring over before the Brexit!

[Niro]

Are you wearing jeans for your hike?

[mandel9000]

No, I have a couple of hiking trousers in lighter and quicker drying material that I plan to wear.

I'm very ambivalent towards modern sports and outdoor gear. So much of it is plain ugly, the production of high-tech materials is often bad for the environment, and companies promote replacing stuff every time something new and supposedly improved appears.

I try to keep it simple with clothes in wool and cotton, shoes mostly made of leather. Jeans would probably work in good weather but are uncomfortable to wear (and very heavy) when wet. Plus they take ages to dry. 

I'm bringing jeans for looking smart when going to the pub or out to eat after the day's walk though! 

 

[Broark]

Just got back in town and picked up my 711's, they fit really nicely! The waist is a little snug, but I'm wearing them and I can tell they're stretching out.
I'll post some pictures later, but I love how fuzzy the fabric looks. Color-wise it reminds me of the pair of SDA D1538XX-B jeans I had previously and sold.
