x-post from Jeans Jackets Flat Head 6002W Type II Brave Star Shirt Hollows Belt PBJ

For comparison, and since I haven't posted anything for a long time - here's my Flat Head 6002W. Owned for 9 years. This will give you and idea of how the denim can fade...

I just got this jacket last week and haven't washed it yet so I can't say how it does with water or age quite yet. That being said, I have had TFH's type II jacket for 10 years which is made from the same Pioneer denim and it ages wonderfully. Loads of pics online if you want to see how this denim fades. Typically this will shrink a bit with a hot wash but then stretch back out to the original size in areas that get stretched - just like jeans. Washing will create some nice crinkles in the fabric on the collar and waistband which creates some really nice character. I love the fit on these, it's a slim fitting type III that tapers from the shoulders to a pretty slim waist. The sleeves are also nice and slim which gives it a more modern feel. The body is a little bit longer than the Type II and hits just below the belt which makes it great to wear with an untucked shirt underneath. I wear these TTS - I'm 5'8", 155lbs and wear a sz 40. Some sample pics of it fitting me. Forgive the wrinkled shirt, I untucked it for the photo...

Fit is great. I wouldn't worry about anything else. That's what really matters in the end. Good fit = more wear. More wear with great denim like that will give you a pair to behold. Enjoy!
