After 20 years of experience in the denim industry, Yoshiyuki Hayashi founded Resolute in 2010 with the idea of producing just four styles of selvedge denim jeans, with a style and size for everyone. Whilst each Resolute model is based on a vintage style, any details that could be considered unnecessary have been removed, leaving only what Yoshiyuki considers the most important elements, with the two main focuses being fit and fabric. 

From the dying of the yarn to the final sewing process with a Union Special sewing machine, Resolute's denim is made entirely in Japan. The selvedge fabric, which has an intentionally soft and fluffy quality, is woven by Shinya Co. Ltd. on a vintage power loom which is used exclusively by the brand. Whilst the jeans themselves are sewn and finished by only the most experienced craftspeople at Nimi Sewing Co. Both Shinya and Nimi are based in Okayama; a prefecture now famed across the globe for its denim production. 

Yoshiyuki believes that this simplified approach to denim making will ultimately allow his product to be worn in more ways and for longer, becoming a versatile tool in one's year-round wardrobe. The man himself pairs his own with anything from a navy sport coat to a simple white t-shirt.

Now, with the arrival of the 714, the newest addition to our Resolute roster, we thought it was about time to break down each model by fit and style so that you can pick your next (or second!) pair with ease.
