^^Wow, those look great! How frequently did you wash those?

depends. sometimes, between 3 -4 months interval. if i've been wearing them for awhile, i would just chuck them in for a wash randomly before or after i come back from a holiday. don't really keep track but i'd say it's about that..

[julian-wolf]

Any experience with HDO (Hayashi Design Office) jackets? Looks like they at least do a Type III, but I'm having trouble finding much more info.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think I someone here on sufu bought one, if I remember correctly. 

Only available here, right?

do the 710s have wider thighs than the orslow 107?

[Max Power]

Nearing my most worn pair

[Cold Summer]

Those are great Max, I like how they have a vintage-style fade but also strong points of contrast. I'm hoping my Full Counts turn out the same way

[Bobbo]

Glorious Max!

anyone? all i can find is inconsistent measurements.

[Bobbo]

Sorry mate, don't have Orslows! I can measure my 710's if you want me to.

I was looking into the 710 for a new pair in the next couple months. 

Is there much aging difference between the raw and one wash version?

Leaning towards the one wash at the moment for simple ease. I planned on warm washing and using the dryer with them fairly often.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you want to wash and dry often,  I would also take the one-wash version. In general I prefer the one-wash Resolute jeans anyway. 

I had the raw version but sold them because they were to big (as I didn't shrink them enough) just to come back to the same size but in one-wash and I'm much happier. Fitted better and no surprises down the line

[lee porter]

I got the once washed version and I’m quite surprised as they are thicker than I imagined is the resolute once washed not. As harsh as a lot of the other brands ?

I got the one-wash version and agree with beautiful FrEaK, no surprises with sizing and they fit wonderfully. I dry mine in the dryer, too, and they haven't shrunk past the one-wash measurements.

[SmokeStackLightning]

Awesome to hear thanks guys. 

Something about the silhouette of the 710 just seems more "adult like" and sophisticated in so many photos when worn to no break.

Hey @beautiful_FrEaK, looks like totem brand totally stole part of your write up to use as their product description... https://totembrandco.com/products/resolute-710-slim-straight-one-wash-denim-31-inch-inseam?variant=15733119287405

@beautiful_FrEaK I'm curious what he was explaining on the fitting session! 

I got the 710 in from Naoki, great service as always from him. I really like the 710, sophisticated and exactly what I wanted. The nice pocket openings and pocket fabric are making me really, really like them. I haven't worn anything else since Thursday evening and am going to try and stick to them for awhile. 

[d-rew12]

I'm still so bummed my fat ass can't fit properly into a pair of 710s haha. Such a great pair!

[tigerstrom]

Every till be I see a video with Hayashi-san fit a pair of Resolute for a customer I want a pair of 710s. Maybe I can try my luck with a pair in size 36 sometime.

@beautiful_FrEaK how do the fir compare to gbg001? Are the 710s slimmer at the hips?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@tigerstrom been wearing my 710 since Friday. They are size 36. Feel wider at the waist than the GBG001. The hip is 0.5" smaller also the front rise is 0.75" lower. Back rise and thighs are the same.

If you have the GBG001 in 35, getting the 710 in 34 is a gamble. Rather get the 36 like me and wash more often and use the dryer if you like.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The man has also good taste in sneakers 

 

[tigerstrom]

Thanks @beautiful_FrEaK If I buy a pair 36 would be the way to go! 

[SmokeStackLightning]

His overall style always seems to look good.

Recently dug through the thread and saw the HDO type 3 offered in Japan. That will likely be next on the list for me in awhile. I'm curious what denim he used for that one.

[lee porter]

The resolute fabric is beautiful just had my first wash and tumble dry just a proper pair of jeans 

[lee porter]

I haven’t got any leg twist after the first hot wash and tumble dry could it still happen or would it already twisted 

[propellerbeanie]

I stopped wearing my 711s for a year because I got distracted by all the other denim offerings from various brands. Recently started wearing my pair again, and damn, are they comfortable. No noticeable fading while they're on, but when they're off, I can see some development; it's no rush, however. The only issue I have is the inseam length... Kinda sucks that it's either 32 (which is what I have) or 36 because 34 would have been perfecto. I can probably take a couple of new photos of how they fit over the next couple of weeks if anyone's keen because the 711 is not as popular as the 710.

In saying all this, I'm back on the mission to give the 710 a go despite it being noticeably slimmer. Does anyone own both the 711 and the 710? I might have to go up a size in the 710 to allow for a bit more thigh space, but I worry that it'll be too sloppy in the waist (even with a belt).

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@lee porter Really no leg twist? That is strange. As long as your jeans shrank during the wash (which is to assume when you boght them raw) there should be leg twist. What model did you buy?

[lee porter]

I’ve got the 710 once washed from pants shop avenue I’ve got no leg twist I’ve worn them for about a month I couldn’t hold any longer I stuck them on a 90 wash and tumbled no leg twist I’ll take a picture later 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you got the one-wash version there is no big surprise the jeans didn't shrink further.

A certain degree of leg twist should usually be there, especially on the one-wash version.
