The Flat Head

[mikecch]

Apart from the weave, the make-up of the yarn is also important. Really difficult to tell unless you just wear them and compare.

I have some 18+ oz that breath better than some ~14 oz.

Stopped watching when I saw his hair.

Just the thumbnail of the vid is terrible, and lol at slevidge as well...

 

I'm always surprised when people know about raw denim, i barely ever see any. Although i saw some flat heads at a local mall and that blew my mind but i waited too long to go talk to him

[edmond]

I think hes of the middle sex

[kiya]

the raw denims and slevage is top notch in that video.

I see selvedge all the time around Atlanta, very different from six years ago - it's ceased to be a big deal though because most of it is stuff like Gap that guys are probably randomly buying without really knowing what it was. I've met a few who are into brands like APC or Rogue Territory but don't really go any deeper than that.

In HK I regularly see guys in D'Artisan, Flat Head, Momotaro and Samurai. Also spotted TCB 50s, old Denime XX, Full Counts, Warehouse and Evisu (jp). Apparently, I am known in town as the sole white guy into ''vintage style'' (even though really, I'm not).

[Maynard Friedman]

I saw a man in Islington wearing a pair of Full Counts a few weeks back. I stopped and did a double take before scrutinising his denim-clad posterior more closely.

^ Oh was that you? I was going to call the police. You should make it clear that it's the jeans that interest you.

[itsbenhere]

That's so cool! You guys every day hi to anyone with sufficiently sufu accepted stuff?

It's OK, I'm the lone foreigner into this stuff in Taiwan. It's a solitary existence.

Unless I go down to the denim shops here in Taipei I don't spot too much stuff in public. In the wild I've seen Samurai, Rising Sun, Iron Heart, Eternal, Momotaro and that's about it.

In France, I see at least once a week a selvedge pair. Usually it is APC or BonneGueule (a french blog about men clothes), I had one of their denim it was a nice Kurabo mills but it was too skinny for me, Now I have a flat head 3002 since April, I m starting to see fades YAY!

Hi,

 

these are my TFH 1001's. I have this pair for 2 years and had about 1,5 year of heavy wear. I've washed them 5 times and they had a couple of soaks. They also have been repaired quite a lot (at this moment as well). I really like the evolution of the 16oz denim. Hope you like them too!

 

Best regards,

 

Jarno

[Cold Summer]

Beautiful jeans Jarno! Those have turned out great.

[itsbenhere]

Looks awesome! It's interesting how yours doesn't have much traintracks or vertical fading compared to mine.

[Grim Jarno]

Thanks guys!

 

The train tracks on my jeans are only from the knee down (too bad because these are one of my favorite fades). I think this is because I stretched out the outseams due to the tightness of the fit of the 1001s. The vertical fading (where TFH is famous for) is mostly visible on the back. I don't know why, maybe it will develop more in the future.

Got damn..those fit you perfectly man!

 

Have you checked out the mk line at DC4? What do you think?

Thanks! just had a brief look at one pair. Also those suede arcs

Edited October 2, 2016 by beautiful_FrEaK

[Doogan]

Great fit!

[itsbenhere]

Why are the suede arcs such a huge deal to everybody if you can just use a seam ripper? Then they'd have no arcs like ooe, warehouse, roy (sometimes ), tcb, etc...

 

I'd prefer stitched arcs to none, but it seems curious for the suede arcs to be a deal breaker for a lot of people if they also own those other brands that don't have the either. Personally I'd probably take out the suede and restitch them.

[pudaspriest]

Personally, I really liked the stitched arcs and it just annoys me that they went with the ultra-suede. It certainly won't keep me from buying another pair of flat heads, but it does make me think a bit less of them. I reserve complete judgement until I see them in person however. Plan on checking them out on my trip to japan this year. 

[Broark]

I did really like the look of the domestic arcs before the ultra suede, but if I really wanted a pair I wouldn't mind taking a seam ripper to them.

Need some FH Pioneer denim in my collection at some point, just not sure on the fit. Maybe the 3005.

[kiya]

The new-ish 8002 model is pretty amazing, they introduced it not that long ago and it's their slim tapered fit but the top block actually has a good amount of room.  And the new 18oz denim is beautiful, if you can image a heavier weight denim aging like Flat Head's pioneer series denim, that's it. 

[itsbenhere]

With Zimbabwe denim right? Pretty killer!

SExFHxRR10 = SelfEdge X Flathead X RingRing :: 15oz LHT :: W33

Practically spanking new when acquired from @coldstorage awhile back. Nowadays, I'm w33-34 in most japs, but these were a bit loose on the getgo. SD to a W32 would have been spot on. Anyway, 'got them hot soaked x2, then tumble dried__ w/c I never do before break in. Resulting fit was acceptable, but we'll see if these LHTs will stretch back out to unflattering degree

Worn for just a solid week:
