The Resolute 711 is a regular-straight jean inspired by the Levi’s 501 “XX” from the 1950s, reinterpreted with a slightly lower rise and a semi-wide straight leg for a relaxed yet refined silhouette. Crafted from 13.5oz Japanese selvedge denim woven at Shinya Mills in Okayama on vintage shuttle looms, the fabric features a one-wash finish that softens the texture while preserving its deep indigo tone.

Construction takes place in Niimi using traditional Union Special machines, with meticulous details including a five-button fly with custom branded metal buttons, hidden back pocket rivets, durable bartack reinforcement, a natural leather patch with red Resolute branding, and contrast cotton stitching in lemon yellow and bronze tones. The pocket bags are made of sturdy cotton twill, and the denim’s one-wash treatment means it arrives ready to wear with minimal future shrinkage. Entirely made in Japan from yarn dyeing to final assembly, the 711 embodies Hayashi’s philosophy of simplicity, fit, and long-lasting quality. 

Fit Notes: Like many other Resolute jeans, the 711 runs quite small in its one-wash version. We generally recommend choosing two sizes up from your usual. However, we always suggest consulting the size chart to find your perfect fit. The fabric is unsanforized but the jeans have been one-washed, so no further shrinkage is expected.
