  1. The new Visvim line is being released across all US accounts next week.

    Undftd on La Brea got their shipment yesterday, which i saw, and they look amazing. I'm not too keen on the patent leather used on some models, but entire line-up is great as usual. I wish i had some photos to point you all towards..

    the new elk leather ones retail for 345.00, a bit steep, but worth it if you're careful.

    i really want the white ones, but they'd be ruined in fifteen minutes of wear if worn with denim. The elk leather they've used is the softest leather i've ever felt..

  2. Will this be with their final post-lawsuit back pocket?

    Yes, it's the post-lawsuit back pocket.

    i personally think it looks great.. they've kept the forked tongue and added a lasso type thing.. Sycamore and Stuntastic have both seen it, from my knowledge they both gave it their approval. :)

  3. I've seen them all in person and i have to say that the Flat Head ones are of the best quality. but then again, they're also the most expensive.

    I'm still trying to find a product by Flat Head where they don't obliterate the competition in terms of quality. How can a company make sure a large range of products and do it all so well across the board? i don't understand.

  4. You know.. in a sense, that is what i'm doing with all the Self Edge collaboration jeans..

    I think of my self as an average Superfuture person.. and i'm designing all the upcoming jeans.. so in a sense this message board's thoughts and suggestions are always taken into account when finalizing my design specs. because i love you guys..

    how cute is that?

    Self Edge x Iron Heart (Dior 21cm cut) in march..

    Self Edge x Imperial (Dior 19cm cut) in july...

    Self Edge x Sugarcane (slim hank dyed boxy) in june or so..

    and more to come..

  5. a few post back

    sidneylo said that he had a discussion with kiya awile back and it has something to do with it being overdyed

    or something like that

    since its dyed differently, it somehow affects the denim

    Actually no...

    That conversation i had with Sidney wasn't about Imperials.. we were talking about Iron Heart Selvedge Overdye Blacks..

    The Imperials are made of black denim, they're not overdyes..

    :)

  6. As usual Sidney comes through with jaw dropping photos.

    Regarding the way they fit, that's another reason why i've fallen in love with Flat Head clothes, they fit SMALL and sorta short. which is exactly how i like my shirts.

    We're getting more shirts in every day now at SE..

    They sent me a crazy looking full reversible souvenir jacket as a gift which i'm loving, even though initially i thought it'd be impossible to pull off..

    A $600 "souvenir" Japan jacket.. who would have thought?

  7. i had purchased my flathead b/w houndstooth during the seXsf party (and that landed me a free pair of canes jeans!). since its purchase, i've been wearing it once a week 'cos it felt so soft plus it was dayum COLD outside. this shirt definitely keeps me warm and feels like two layers instead of one. i definitely do look forward to seeing more of flathead's shirts soon.

    Yeah, that's sort of been one of the most surprising things for me.. The flannel/houndstooth shirts are EXTREMELY warm... almost unusually warm for a button down shirt.

  8. The tees are interesting, they're basically reproductions of exactly what you'd find at ANY american thrift store, but the construction on them is out of this world.

    The softest and sturdiest feeling cotton i've ever felt on a T-Shirt, chain stitching around the collar, all seams are stitched up to 4 or 5 times, contrast stitching, sizing goes from X-small to Large.

    I haven't brought any into the store because somehow i don't think people want to pay 75 USD for a T-Shirt that says "California Living.. So Nice." or "For a fun time..California Sun"

  9. From my meetings with these Japanese companies it definitely seems like they are completely head over heels into anything that represents America during the 1950's..

    They're very much into Rockabilly, Western, and Americana/Roots music and want a way to tie it all into their clothing lines.

    Flat Head and Skull both manufactur guitar amps, and Flat Head actually produces a few guitars in limited runs too.

    Another item that many Japanese denim manufacturers are heavily into is American class/college rings. Flat Head and a few others make quite a few class rings in their jewelry lines..

    Flat Head doorknob. You heard it here first, they make em, i want one.

    Flat Head also makes a line of t-shirts that are the finest quality t-shirts i've ever seen in my entire life. I didn't think it was possible to produce a t-shirt whose quality, fit, and construction were on this level. Many of these Japanese companies are truly on another level when it comes to apparel construction.

  10. Maybe we can use this as a general discussion thread about Flat Head and their extensive range of jeans, shirts, wallets, shoes, guitar amps, etc..

    I'm fallen for their shirts, in a big way.

    All i can think of is how i can get my hands on more of their shirts, we've got a few in the store, but i need many more.

    Somebody help me...

    Black and White Houndstooth, Black and Red Houndstooth, Vintage Plaid Inlay Shirts..
