YOSHIYUKI HAYASHI
He was born in 1956. It is an opportunity that he longed for Levi’ s for youth and begins to work in the jeans industry after graduation from university.
He learns the making of jeans by self-education, and in 1988 when DENIME established, he is invited as a designer by DENIME. He had the deep affection and preference for jeans, so in a record-breaking replica jeans trend in Japan, he was to be a big figure in that trend. After he left DENIME, he launched RESOLUTE in order to pursue his ideal style of jeans again in 2010.

711
A slightly wide straight type.
Based on work pants of the 1950’ s in America, the outline is refined with a lower rise and without a too- loose fit around the waist on RESOLUTE711, with an intention not to reproduce the XX model too precisely as typical replica brands do. However, all the important attributes are reproduced cautiously into details such as leather patch, hidden rivet, offset center back loop, and so on.

Born from the production background in the war, there were a wide variety of types without uniformity. RESOLUTE follows vintage details such as a donut-shaped top button engraved with a laurel , a coin pocket without rivets, and thick belt loops. The rise is deep, the waist position is raised, and the silhouette wraps around the hips.
