RESOLUTE by hayashi-san!

[grooveholmes]

If we do a contest will there be a group discount?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and please a custom patch, a custom denim and a custom cut...for everyone of course

[Maynard Friedman]

fair points! Especially the price point

But they are also direct available from Kaizoku-Pirates (discounted shipping) and from Pants Shop Avenue. No need for a third party

Maybe b_F, but they are not readily accessible with simple English language websites. They need translations, email requests, etc and are not click-and-buy experiences to the would-be purchasers who aren't familiar with them already or 'in the know'.

Got these pics off the Resolute blog.

I still can't stand the name and the logo. I wish it was still Denime, but I understand how that brand became watered down. The Resolute denim looks fabulous and the fading properties look like vintage Denime, which, in my opinion the closest color to vintage Levi's in terms of repros.

If i wasn't for the name and logo I'll be all over these like a teenage groupie.

…but if there's a contest…

[Maynard Friedman]

Amazing photos, in the top couple, they look like a stack of vintage Levi's that you used to see in some of the second-hand shops back in the 80s.

... but not uncommon on the narrow-loomed lots [re: radical twisting]. i remember when i was younger, i tried to straighten up & put the seams together when folding, after wash__ thinking i'd prevent/lessen the twisting on my 501s. silly thoughts.

'shoulda seen my old Denimes, side-seam tracks on the left leg rotated around 45 degrees to the front. the O/W 45RPM left leg twisted around 40 degrees already & haven't even washed them yet.

I couldn't do a contest for obvious reasons but always liked the idea when they were just coming out. At that point, it wasn't clear if BiG would carry them and I never knew who'd be a good middleman. I'm still not sure I understand the direction Hayashi-san wanted to bring the label but it's really still in it's youth...Considering the height's Denime reached, I think we all were expecting a return to that crinkly shriveled up Denime look and still aren't sure what to do with the hairy, smooth, polished marble look (more 1970's/80's as I think Paul T mentioned earlier in this thread) that Resolute has brought. Either way, it's an intriguing fabric and I'd love to get my hands on it! Maybe a group buy would be cool if anyone was apt to organize it... ;)

At the end of the day, you just have to trust Hayashi-san...After all, without him, none of us would be where we are today...

I know someone who wouldn't mind a group buy

edit: and a shop owner who would provide us. That's what I really wanted to say

you guys are some serious enablers; love the way those Resolute's faded; they resemble actual Levi's vintage pairs

[Paul T]

Picture 5 is possibly the strongest leg twist that I have ever seen.

I'm not even sure I could cope with that!

edit! what's weird is quite how low the knee cap fades are! Or is it just my eyes deceiving me?

I had one little e pair that he the em twisted all the way to the front. There are various debates about why some twist more than others; but 70s ones seem to twist among the most. Those Denime are certainly a fantastic evocation of the v early 70s look.

I wouldn't let branding get in the way of good denim

[Mr-Bielby]

XX's. Originally wanted the 66's, but couldnt get my thighs into them unless I went up about 4 waist sizes.

[bod]

Mine shrank to 1" under tag size, I'd have to size up two next time.. if.

[jet.shi]

a ha thanks b_f.

 

you got my album,right?

[jet.shi]

not yet.

 

they are washed today,and cool for dry now.

 

maybe have some fit pic tomorrow

[jet.shi]

i got this w32 .

 

from Naoki (who b_f mentioned ).he is very kind,and suggest that if denime xx wear w31,then lot 710 will wear w32 for fit.

 

I think he is quite right.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Naoki is great! you can really trust him.

yeah on your first post the pics didnt show so I linked them here. I hope that was ok.

looking forward to some fit pics. the weave of the denim looks quite tight. the overall color is a bit lighter (blue) than I usual prefer. Like Paul T said, Hayashi tried to capture the late 60s / 70s denim

[jet.shi]

yeah, b_f ,you help me a lot.

 

I'm a new guy in sufu.

the denim is soft ,only have 12-13oz maybe.that may close to the 60s denim.

 

Hayashi is a wonderful man. I believe his choice. so I got them.

[jet.shi]

[aho]

^they fit perfect!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

very crinkly..how does the denim feel? is it more on the soft side (what I'd expect) or cardboard like?
