The Flat Head

[Kyle@TFH]

Really nice, that's how 3009s/3011s should fit.

[Maddogwellz]

dude your fucked. just go buy them now and save yourself the headache

I don't know if I want to get the 405 or 403 and there are no stores around me to look at them in person.

I had nowhere to look at them in person also. Pictures don't do them justice, so if you think they look good in pictures... wait till you see them in person.

I have a question about The Flat Head 1001 size 27 because they have 4 Button fly but normally they should have 5 button fly right

[Kyle@TFH]

Tender: That's right, some of the smaller sizes have four buttons instead of five. That's because the front rise is shorter on the smaller sizes.

Thank you so much

anybody have experience on the se05bsp? i'm a skinny dude looking to buy a pair. 5'6 120lb skinny legs. I run a true sz of 28 so i shouldn't be so concerned if i purchase tts right?

[Kyle@TFH]

You might want to size up to 29 since FH jeans tend to be a little small for their tag size, and they shrink a lot. But the best thing to do is measure some of your jeans and compare the measurements.

If you're skinny and shorter than 6'1" or so, then BSPs should be a great fit. But you will definitely want to get them hemmed, keep in mind that Pioneer denim will shrink three inches.

last condition of my FH f310. one year++

few time of washing. and this picture taken after sea sand wash:

will be retired (except in some weekend, maybe...) due HWDC #2

overall, this is the best jeans in my entire life, it's make my legs looks "proportional". 175cm and 55kg is too underweight for adult men

[Kyle@TFH]

Those are some of the best-faded Flat Heads I've ever seen. Somebody get Sidney Lo to take some proper pictures of those.

[Rinke]

So, I'm thinking about buying the 2111. However, I'm not sure about the thigh measurements. I have big thighs so I need some room in the top block, but I also want some taper. I think 3009 would be a perfect fit but I like the denim on the 2111, are these similar fit-wise?

[Maddogwellz]

So yea, just ordered some 3009 from self edge today. Pretty stoked to say the least cause I haven't seen many faded ones on here.

[Kyle@TFH]

Rinke: The 2111 is the same cut as the 3009 and 3011. It should be an excellent pair if you need a roomy thigh and taper from the knee down.

Maddogwellz: Great, I think you'll really like your 3009s. They're the same denim as the more popular (well, outside of Japan) 3001 and F310, but because the cut is different the pattern of your whiskers/combs will be a lot different. Keep us update!

I'll probably post an update on my 3009s once they hit the 2-3 month mark.

Finally got around to some fit pics!

Beautiful

[einstine]

Now they are the best faded flat heads I have ever seen.

[itsbenhere]

Those look great, but I'm definitely going to wash mine more frequently than usual as I'm not a fan of super super defined and in my opinion unnatural looking combs. Good fit though too...

So this is my sz 42 native check shirt, I'm right in thinking a 40 would be better? I mainly don't like the sleeve length and the combination of the loose(ish) chest and upper arms.

[Kyle@TFH]

Maybe a 40 would have been better, but that's still a good fit. In my experience the Native Check shirts are smaller than other FH shirts of the same size.

[playgfordisabled]

Got done drying in the morning, after 2 agitated hot soaks. The fit is absolutely perfect, I seriously can't believe they worked out this well.

My dream pair of jeans was my 3001s with a bigger rise, and non tight knee fit. These are my dream pair.

Waist was 30.5" > 28.75"

Leg opening was 7.8" > 7"

Inseam was 36" > 32.5"

Here is a teaser till they settle, then I will take fit pictures.

My 3001s on top size 29, 1 hot soak for them, 3011s on bottom size 30 with 2 hot soaks.

* They are same besides the knee, bigger rise, and 3011s have a .25" smaller leg opening, which is great.

whoa, the leg opening seriously shrunk to 7''? that's crazy and kind of makes me want to consider getting the f310** or 3011.

Edited April 19, 2013 by playgfordisabled

[Kyle@TFH]

It sounds crazy, but the 3009 actually has a smaller hem than a 3001 in the same size. That's because the 3009's leg is tapered, the 3001's leg doesn't taper past the knee.

[playgfordisabled]

Kyle@TFH, how much do flat heads actually shrink post soak? i've never owned a pair and flat heads seems like my best bet for my next pair, either that or the samurai s003jp series. I'm contemplating the se05bsp because i have a skinny bottom figure that fits cozy with a 10.3 thigh but the thigh is pretty big on the se05bsp. Do you think if I purchase it in sz 28/29 it would shrink from 10.9 or 11.2 to 10.3?

[Kyle@TFH]

In my personal experience, the Pioneer denim shrinks about .4-.5" in the thigh after it's fully shrunk. The top half of the thigh is a little looser on the BSP, if you want a slimmer thigh then I suggest the 3001 or F310.

A nice little present from Japan came for me today. First flathead shirt, very soft on the inside and warm.

[Somar]

Nice shirt and a nice fit

[einstine]

itsbenhere - the red ones arms look a little weird on you. The blue shirt is nice. I need to buy that one.

[itsbenhere]

Yep, the arms are mainly what I don't like. I'll have to figure out how to swap this for a size 40 somehow...

Where do you order from? 2nd?

[itsbenhere]

I bought the red one from self edge and I got a great deal on the blue one from a member on style forum. Definitely stoked about that one!

[einstine]

Then you could return it right? or you could always sell me the blue HN-66 to me, and buy another red one in the right size.
