The Flat Head

[Turntabloid]

Just received my F380 from Giles.

Here are the pre-wash measurements and pics:

Waist: 38"

Inseam: 39"

Frontrise: 12"

Backrise: 16"

Upper Thigh: 13"

Measurements made according to Gordon's guidelines:

Sorry for the lousy pics, my girlfriend was in a motivational low! :-)

I always need to end up with sth like 36"-37" in the waist, otherwise it is too tight. If that would not be the case, I guess I would buy a tagged size 34-35.

Edit: SORRY - TAGGED SIZE 36!

[Dick Danger]

what was the post-wash waist measurement?

[bonjin]

turntabloid: you could probably have bought a tagged size 36 at least. I didn't measure them pre-soak but after several hours of hot soak, they're now at 37" after 2 days of wear.

[Turntabloid]

ups, I immediatly created some confusion by claiming the jeans to be tagged size 38, it is tagged size 36!

sorry for that!

i will post new measurements and pics as soon as they are baptized

[Turntabloid]

tagged size W36/L36

post-wash (still wet) size: W35.5-36/L36.25

impressive - as well as the details, stitching and quality.

fit pics will follow when dry ...

very happy about all this!

Do 3001's look bad if sagged at all? Haven't seen any pics of people sizing up and wearing them slightly lower than usual.

Edited for Dick Danger who apparently does not like the word 'stupid'.

[UsedNapkin]

hey lamb any fit pics? those are probably the best i've ever seen!

[Turntabloid]

couldn't wait - ...

I sized up and I slightly sag mine and they look good. I like my jeans a little loose anyways. If I sag too much, however, they look terrible. So there's a fine line. Now, if I knew how to get pictures on this website than I could show you some pics.

I also sized up to allow room for my soccer thighs and I sag them a bit, works just fine. I have pics in either this thread or the 3001 thread within the last 10 pages or so I'd guess.

I also gave them a warm soak last night (actually wore them in the shower real quick) then wore them till they dried. Been wearing them for 4 mo 1 week nights and weekends only but I want to get a more natural, overall fade as opposed to lambs crazy contrast (not that his aren't bad ass, just not really what I hoped to get out of mine)

hope to have some pics up by the end of the week

(no sarcasm, I really do want to see these before I buy)

gonna check your posts skistar and look for the pics you mentioned.

[crucialkc]

quoted for anyone else that might be interested. skistar, did you lose weight between the first pic and the second or did the thighs just stretch out?

[alex-san]

a pair of flatheads will be my next pair, but in a couple months. once my nudies go the one year distance. i'm wondering what are the slimmest/tapered flatheads? like thin finn status? present and maybe future models??

[skistar]

cool, thanks man... I'm on an iPhone so it's a huge bitch scrolling through a bunch of pages or I'd have found them myself.

I probably lost a few pounds but I streched the thighs as much as I could. I actually put stacks of post it's in my thighs and sat with my legs bent, since I don't really think thigh hugging jeans looks good on me since Im large I guess per sufu standards (I'm 6'2" 185). I previously wished the leg opening was slightly smaller on these (being a size 34) but after the soak they shrunk down nicely

[crucialkc]

awesome. thanks man! I want mine to fit more like that as I've got bigger legs than usual too. was thinking about picking up a used pair that have already been soaked but I'm afraid that if I get them they might be too small and most people on here are saying that FH's don't stretch much if at all.

[deminslut]

this is my take5Xfh jeans

pre-soak

post-soak

soak it in 70 degrees water for 4 hours. the thighs are snug but the waist is kinda loose for my liking. wished it was tighter because i like pain for the first few wears. hope it wont stretch out as much too.

[skistar]

^wear a belt and you'll be good. The waist can't stretch out any further than the belt.

crucialkc- they will stretch, ALL denim stretches (as told to me by the great sidneylo)

[midnight]

Great fit deminslut. Can't wait to see how those turn out.

[Turntabloid]

as the F380 is my first pair of TFH jeans - i am astonished how stiff they are in the beginning.

i wore them yesterday while still damp, and everything is now engraved in the denim.

this is probably cold coffee for you guys, but compared to my SDAs, this is a totally new level of stiffness i encounter

[sarcasticone]

Really, I thought that my jeans were stiff but pretty pliable after the hot soak. Great jeans though, wear them long and wear them hard.

[Turntabloid]

not sure who's 1001's turned out having a 34.5" inseam, but mine are around 36.5"...

operationjake - what was the waist measurement on your 1001 pre- and post-wash, and after some wear?

anybody who owns the 1001 in tagged size 36, who could comment as well?

thx!

[lupefiasco]

Copped a pair of 1001s, will post thoughts/review once I get them in.

S5003 presoak:

Hot soaking right now. Huge cut difference from my PBJ XX-005, lol.

[skistar]

whoa

those are cut pretty huge other than the top block there. Any reason in particular you choose to not go with a slimmer cut? hope they shrink up nicely for you!

[who8mahrice]

I just wanted to try something different from a slim cut. I had a Nudie Bootcut Ola before my current PBJs, so I've been in slim jeans for a while...decided to change it up. That and Kiya was selling these for cheap in the market, so it was a slight impulse buy, heh.

[skistar]

ya I remember you wearin those nudies from back in the old AF days... I figured you'd just decided to try a fuller cut, they'll look much better after the soak too. Enjoy and maybe we'll have to have a FH meeting/beer when I come to visit Seattle later this month

when i first measured mine after a hot soak and hot dry (wanted to get all the shrink out) the inseam measured about 34.5". i just measured them again and they are the inseam is actually 35". either i didn't measure right or the stretch up top gave me an extra .5"
