The Flat Head

[triumph.man]

so how are you guys (kiya,b_F) liking the fit today?

shoulders look slightly big, but the sleeves are perfect...

[ThinFinn]

^true that...i wear a 42 in my other TFH shirt and the total length+sleeves are too short for my liking so i went one size up with this one!

[Planetarium]

Nice, ThinFinn. Where'd you grab the green version? That's the last one on my list and 2nd has been sold out for a while.

[kiya]

It looks a bit big on you still, just a little wide in the body.

[ThinFinn]

^thanks for honest opinion k. but i think if i bought a 42 the sleeves would have been too short for my liking!...

Planetarium - bought it from beatle's supermarket thread! bnwt...

So I have already pre-soeaked my 1001's, the question is will they shrink again after my next soak (in length)? I did my prior soak for about 45 minutes to an hour in steaming hot water. After this I got them hemmed cause I'm short as hell. They fit absolutely perfect right now, I'm just scared they might shrink up in the next soak. Please put my haunting thoughts aside that I will end up with floods. Thanks in advance.

thinfinn - one hot wash and quick run in the dryer should take care of those 0.4 inches in the shoulder

With a soak that long and hot you pretty much got all shrinking out of the way

There is probably still some shrinkage left in them. Usually agitation while soaking (i.e. a wash) yields further shrinkage than just a soak. Throwing them in the dryer leads to even more shrinkage, so if you don't want to lose any more length best to only hang dry.

They'll probably shrink another inch in the inseam with a wash, but you should be able to stretch the inseam back out while they're still damp if you can't afford to lose the length.

^Great pairs both of you!

Unfortunately I have to sell mine to fund some other things (jeans, SG's to be exact), so im selling my size 29 FH F350's for $175 if anyone is interested. Worn 18 times, no fades.

[CMCiA]

@ cajun: your fit pics looked pretty sketchy until you cuffed and wore em with shoes. Lookin great now!

Need some experts to shed some light on shrinkage with my FH F310s. I've been wearing them since early September but I feel like the first soak I had to take the shrinkage out wasn't fully successful.

I say this because I got the jeans hemmed to 35.5 inches at selfedge when I placed the order, and soaked them for 20 mins in warm water in the tub. I had forgotten to measure the inseam when I first got the jeans, but when I measure the inseam now it comes out to 35 inches still.

Could it be that I didn't get all the shrinkage out when I first soaked? I feel like they are a bit long and was debating about hemming them. Do I just need to hot soak them in really hot water for a longer period of time now to shrink the inseam a bit? Selfedge claims that the inseam should shrink 3 inches upon first wash..so this is where I'm kind of mind boggled.

Thanks

[cajun22]

cmcia, thanks for the compliments. I will be wearing it like that for a while and decide later whether to hem, the problem is there's no hemming service with a chain stitch machine where I live( Singapore). I'll probably have to wait till I make a trip to HK or Bangkok.
