what about the 5100xx

i wanted another pair in a large size but giles didnt have any.... couldnt see em on your site in a 42 either (big man sizes!) did i miss out?

In response to the last post to clear up two of the points..

We carry every size the manufacturer produces and there are no shipping charges when ordering from us..

oh right, didnt realize there was no shipping.... sorry about that..

but on the sizing front ive never seen you carry flathead above a 38? do you get larger sizes to order or something?

never saw you doing the 5100xx above a 38 either.

yeah fully aware of what they are, just fancied a second pair for a while down the line. fantastic denim but not the most hard wearing,

The only problem with IronHeart UK is it seems more expensive than Selfedge? (even for UK based people)

nah..... even comparing flathead stuff from giles is comparable.. same as the ironheart.

fh for example 3001 are £142 plus postage from selfedge.

£135 from giles

plus (and this is in not way putting down kiyas service which i hear is excellent) the service from giles on fh or ih stuff is superb.. ive had jeans from him and not liked the fit and was able to return them no questions asked, he even shipped me an alternate pair the same day i shipped the pair back to him (if i was unscupuluos i could have kept both)

to me thats good service, always willing to give advice and he can pretty much source anything you want withing reason.

flat-head.co.uk and ironheart.co.uk come heavily reccomended...... being as though im in the uk (and absolutely love both ironheart and flathead denim) i cant see myself buying from anybody else in the near future, giles even carries the larger sizes in both brands that selfedge dont.

could someone ask takeshi-san what jeans he's wearing in this picture?

im not a hater when it comes to non trainer footwear but those have to be some of the worst peices of footwear i have ever seen.

they look like fell walking boots

denim does look nice though.

I like the patch on the left alot more. How many different patches have they done? Did they make a new one after the lawsuit or were they not infringing?

yeah the patch on the 3003`s is a plain one but its the wwII model so it has to have that thin simple, wartime look to it..

The properties of the 5XXX and the 3XXX denims are totally different.

The 5X is 13.75 ounces, the 3X is 14.5 ounces. They're both rope dyed but the 3X fades quicker and creates an intense atari fade within sixty days of wear.

The 3X also gives way to a far brighter blue color as it starts to fade where as the 5X fades into a more subtle blue.

The 3X is made of a shorter fiber cotton, so after the first soak the denim becomes extremely hairy and almost looks like it has a slight haze over it for the first five days or so after a soak/wash. The 5X is woven in such a way where the weft is visible more even in it's raw state giving the denim a slightly irregular look without looking too slubby.

That's all i can think of for now in terms of differences between the 5XXX and 3XXX denims.. both are amazing in their own way.

cant decide which one i like more either.. i love the fact that the 3xxx are fading so quickly but the denim on the 5xxx just has such a nice colour and texture and also has a lovely feel to the touch?

i couldnt decide so i have both.

saying theres very little difference in weight they both feel and look worlds apart

edit: not the best pics ever but 5100 on the left and 3003 on the right.

the 3003 is quite significantly darker.

superb... thanks.. i always seem to find the rear rise to be a bit short on any other flatheads.

will these only be available through yourselves or from say giles at ironheart.... its just i noticed you only seem to stock up to a 38/40 and being the big lad i am i`d need 40 or maybe even 42 (34)

thanks again

Flat Head is releasing a new model, the S5003..

We're doing the worldwide release of this model and are excited about this mainly because we've gotten loads of requests for a more relaxed cut from Flat Head that's good for summer wear...
