【RESOLUTE】714 One Washed World War II 40s Jeans
MODEL 714 JEANS
During World War II in America, material controls necessitated the simplification of various specifications, known collectively as the "War Model." Born out of the production background of wartime, there are many different types of these models, each lacking uniformity. At RESOLUTE, we follow the unique details of the vintage war models, such as donut-shaped top buttons with laurel wreaths engraved, coin pockets without rivets, and thicker belt loops. We've crafted the silhouette to sit higher on the waist and envelop the hips.
*All Resolute jeans are professionally washed for us in Japan, hence no shrinkage after purchase.
*Take 2 size up from your ordinary jeans tag size, 1 size up from your Japanese heritage jeans.
*Please note the tag size Lenght is also shorter.
For example, a L30 equals 28 inches inseam
L31 =29 inches, L32 = 30 inches ... etc
