The Flat Head

[itsbenhere]

I think that those two sleeve shots are a really good depiction of the differences between unsanforized and sanforized denim (in general)

[bradl]

Do they use the same fabric, 7002, on a non sawtooth shirt? 

[Kyle@TFH]

Yes!  Check out the K0011 that Rivet And Hide sells.  Same denim in a great slim straight fit.

[Sugar Mountain]

Kyle, I think Bradl was asking if the denim is used on a shirt with a different pocket design.

[Kyle@TFH]

Oh, okay!  I misunderstood.  Yes, check out the 7010W, which is the same denim used on a work shirt design.

[beeetus]

That 7010W sounds awesome. If only I weren't too chubby for FH shirts. They just don't work on me.

[PetzZz]

Kyle, can you tell me if an indigo Paisley shirt will be made again ? I think I saw that somewhere but it'd be better to have a confirmation from you. 

[Sugar Mountain]

There's a pre-order page on e2nd for a new run of the indigo paisley:

Looks like you're in luck.

[UkeNo]

Theres some Paisley here still: http://rivetandhide.com/brands/the-flat-head/tfh-indigo-dyed-paisley-shirt.html

 

[Kyle@TFH]

So I tried on the HNW-52W, one of Flat Head's longest-running and most popular shirts.

 

 

 

 

 

This is a new color for the fall/winter 2013 season, it's a dark raspberry sort of color and looks really, really nice, I think it's my favorite color they've ever used for this shirt.  The fit's good and the fabric's soft.  One of the great things about this fabric is the detail in the weave, from a distance it looks like a simple block check pattern but up close you can see that it's actually a thick herringbone weave.

Nice, thanks! 

And thanks UkeNo for the link, unfortunately they don't carry it in 38.

Fit pics.

 

PROXFH05 7 months

 

 

 

[Idcue]

Anyone have evo pics of 2001s?

[Cold Summer]

Those look awesome Tonoak, how many washes?

 

Idcue, the 2001 is made with the 16 oz. denim, so they'll fade the same as 1001s (and the PROXFH05 in the post above yours.)

[Sugar Mountain]

Kyle - On the subject of 16oz denim, has an expanded line of cuts in this fabric ever been discussed at TFH headquarters? It would be cool to see the 3009 offered as a 1009, for example.

[Idcue]

Thanks Cold Summer! One last question. what's the general sizing idea on the 3000 series?

[Cold Summer]

Sugar Mountain: I think a Japanese dealer sold the 1009 as a special collab model a few years ago, and there used to be a 1007 bootcut model.  The Pronto PROXFH05 is basically a 16 oz. version of the 3002.  I don't know about anything new coming soon in the 16 oz. fabric, though. 

 

Usually you'll go true to size on the 3000 series jeans, it's common for people to buy one size up in FH compared to other jeans they wear.  The best thing, of course, is to just check the individual measurements for the model that interests you.

Thank you, just once but with washing machine

[reedwill]

I like the FH shirt patterns and I'm sure the quality is great, but am I the only one who thinks that they just don't fit a lot of people properly...? Western and Japanese body types just aren't the same... They look super short in the body and the sleeves sometimes.

Kyle, what are the sleeves like on those shirts when you stretch out your arms?

[itsbenhere]

If you're used to shirts being longer then yes, they're going to look short. I personally think that a shirt should end a bit past the torso....for some reason flat head is really the only company whose shirts don't hang past my ass.

I think that the fit Kyle has above is perfect, including sleeve length...

[lance]

reedwill - I agree, my torso is long and contemporary shirts, particularly from denim/workwear brands are very often too short and too fitted. 

[youngofthesoonest]

they do fit a little shorter than most other shirts but for me it's one of the few companies that makes shirts that fits me both in sleeve length and body length. then again i'm also asian with a shorter torso so thats probably why they fit well. 

[sirxlaughs]

I'm 5'8 and don't mind the short body length of the shirts. Besides the great fabrics, it's the slimmer fit/taper of Flat Head shirts that I like. It's hard for me to find shirts that fit properly in the shoulders and don't drape over me.

[Cold Summer]

I know it sounds crazy, especially considering how tall I am, but that's how the shirt is supposed to fit. They fit pretty much the same on Japanese people, sleeve length and all. I wouldn't mind having an extra inch in the sleeves, but the length is perfect. Shirts feel too long if they go past the top of my back pocket. Plus, the way the front is cut shows off the whiskers on your jeans.

[setterman]

With the flat hem on that shirt, it's not meant to be worn tucked in, so it's cut a couple inches shorter.

[Max Power]

Just scored a slightly used FH OB 001 belt. Can't wait to get it.

i'm liking how the belt is turning out, what is it?

[itsbenhere]

It's the htc belt from self edge...I think it goes really good with classic looking cuts.
