Cross-post from the leather thread, showing off my TFH wallet rig. I bought the key holder directly from TFH almost three years ago. The long wallet I found on Mercari. I like how nicely the patina lines up, even though the wallet is cordovan and the key holder cowhide.

Here’s my wallet stuff. Flat Head Shinki cordovan long wallet Flat Head harness leather key holder Old Point box weave kangaroo leather chain (similar to ones TFH used to make)

Long time no see @Superstar! Always thought your wallet was super cool. I actually just picked up a Flat Head cordovan long wallet used off Mercari, for something like 1/5th the price of a new one, with the same concho as my key holder, and a box weave wallet rope - I once again have a ridiculous over-the-top Amekaji wallet rig, and it feels so good. Pictures coming soon (hopefully later today!)

I certainly benefit from being tall and thin. Aside from the fact that I like their details and design the best, it works out nicely that TFH shirts fit my body type the best, generally. I've tried lots of shirts by other brands that fit like potato sacks and the arms were still too short. Although a lot of folks complain about the shoulders being too wide, I've come to embrace this aspect of their shirts and like the V-shape silhouette better than the narrow shoulders on some other brands.

Awesome work on those b_F! I think that's just about the best-faded pair I've seen from you. I know you enjoy trying lots of different jeans - which is great, I'm sure we can all agree at this point there's no one "right" way to do selvedge denim, etc., and it really comes down to what you enjoy. But this really showcases the magic of what can happen when you stick with a single pair for an extended period of time. To my eyes it looks like a more aggressively textured version of WH's Banner denim - almost a cross between that, and the 14.5 oz denim from the 800xx. Good stuff.

I loved the editorial, great stuff. Just the other day I was looking at the very first Self Edge lookbook from 2007 or whatever (which is still on the site!) and thinking about how great a lot of those fits look. It was a bold and original approach taking Japanese brands like Flat Head which everybody kind of associated with rockabilly and western wear totally out of context and merging it with streetwear. Wearing Flat Head houndstooth shirts and snow zips with Nikes sounds kind of crazy on paper but it's actually really cool, and I feel like the contemporary western denim scene could probably learn something from that. I'm still disproportionately influenced by some of the style Sidney Lo wore in his WAYWT project. I discovered raw denim with Nudie in late 2009 and never owned anything by Imperial, but the new jeans look awesome and I love the story behind it.

I was looking at the FW 1947 the other day, too. They look like nice jeans and seem like they could be a good fit. But eh, don't need more jeans, and to be honest my WH 1001xx have me completely satisfied on the vintage-style jean angle. I feel like anything beyond that is "better" past the point of diminishing returns, which is why I don't own Ooe or something similar. So unless some crazy good deal presented itself, no FW in the near future for me. But I do like seeing their jeans in action I guess. -
"Relaxed tapered" cuts are usually designed to fit larger waist sizes well. If you wear a size 36, your jeans probably taper to a 7.75" hem or something reasonable, but get that same pair in my size, 31, and it'll be something completely ridiculous like 6.5". This makes me wonder why don't jeans makers just make cuts with a particular hem width (say, 21 cm), and for smaller sizes it's more of a straight fit, and taper increases as you size up? It would fix a common complaint about straight fits, which is that they're too wide in bigger waist sizes.

@dc2020 Do it! It's a pair of jeans I like so much, that I'm on my second pair (the first being far from destroyed or anything like that, but I opted for a different approach to this pair.) TFH flannel looks great on you too. Hopefully people are starting to remember how rad their shirts are. Speaking of which... Flat Head western flannel Flat Head down jacket Hollows belt Flat Head 3005 John Lofgren Steadfast boots Found one of my all-time favorite TFH shirts in my size on a Japanese site for cheap. Medium weight flannel. Almost like new condition. Perfect fit. Unique and awesome color. Hexagon buttons! It doesn't get much better than this.
