The Flat Head

[thingymajig]

Ah excellent! Last time I checked the Flat Head UK site, it was still under construction. The official site (or at least the official reseller), actually appears cheaper than Kiosk78, who I think are the only other UK reseller. Handy for Brits, considering sterling has been screwed over recently!

Are the sizes on these normally inline with other brands? I wear a 29 in the APC NS and a 31 in Nudie. I picked up a pair of 4001 last Saturday at Self Edge and I got a 33. Am I just getting fatter or did they invent 'Humility' sizing.

I'm pretty sure APC does vanity sizing and nudies is usually a waist size up. On top of that, they're sanforized so you wouldn't have to account for shrinkage and APCs are known to stretch.

Day 124 of my BSPs... some detail shots

crosspost!

8 months today. initial soak no wash. i haven't been wearing them the past few days as they've been getting crotch repairs.

ive experienced denim thinning, thread wear, and the denim itself ripping near the crotch. the cut is very movement restricting and when you play sports and need to reach for the ball, it really hurts the denim.

Those F310s (3001?) look awesome. Nice roping too!

[keendream]

Nice flat heads, and really well done repairs.

I should probably redo my crotch repair on my Flathead's...

[beatle]

I'll never get tired of looking at faded Flatheads...

[percy]

anyone got any 3008/3009? impressions? fit pics?

thanks

We've got a few pairs of 3009's here, all with plain rear pockets. The same cut as F380 but with all cotton stitching. $295 delivered.

Not up on the site yet, but drop us a mail if you want more info: [email protected]

does anyone have a knee measurement on the f310 in a size 29?

[Flathead]

does anyone have a knee measurement on the f310 in a size 29?

7.7 inches

[mission.jako]

7.7 inches

how is that true if the 1001 in that same size has a knee measurement of 8 inches, and it has generally slimmer measurements. wouldn't the knee on the f310 be something like 8 or higher? i'm only saying this because i have a pair of apcs with the 7.7 knee and they are very tight, and i was expecting the f310 to be a looser fit.

[Flathead]

Just remeasured again. 13" below the crotch they measure 7.7". The F380 is 8.7"

According to the SelfEdge website, both the 1001 and F310 have a 7.7" leg opening. Unless my eyes are deceiving me, these cuts are pretty much straight and untapered from the knee down. Not too hard to believe that they would be 7.7" also at the knee...

But then again, SE's measurements are whack (reference to shenanigans in the selfedge thread...)

How are they whack?

That link back to our thread is about confusion about HOW to measure the chest on a shirt. From my knowledge, there's only one way, measuring the shirt from one pit seam to the other.

Sorry kiya, the comment about the measurements being whack was tongue-in-cheek (hence rolleyes). And I was referring to the debate about the specifics of thigh measurements (several of the comments in the thread are tongue-in-cheek). I didn't mean any offense by my comment.

On a completely serious note, I think that the measurements on selfedge are accurate.

[ivan_kendo]

for my useless answer:

Just looked at my presoak measurements on my FH 1001 size 29 and the knee is 7.8 and the leg opening is 7.8

^^ nice!! i like the contrast. did u wash it with any detergent??

i put a small squeeze of dishwashing liquid (it was all i could get at the time) in a bath tub of water

i used this

its supposed to be phosphate and bleach free with all natural ingredients...so i guess its safe? it was only to get the stink out

[cure]

those look great. are those post wash pics? i might take the handwash route next time to keep in the creases for combs, mine didn't hold that well.

[sayocean]

^ cure, we're all waiting for post wash pictures!!

[ludachr1s]

yeah as I approach my wash date I'm also leaning towards a handwash as my combs aren't really what I want yet

[beatle]
