Those look great! My pair looks nothing like that, hard to wear heavy weight denim for long periods of time in Texas.

[Cold Summer]

Whoa awesome, that's some perfect FH fading right there. 

[Grim Jarno]

Really nice fades on those 20oz badass FHs!

[bloodynutz]

Nice dude, real nice. All FH denim looks so much better when it has been washed regularly.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that looks like Australian grass?

 

No. It's a kind of Thai grass.

[chewie]

^Oh damn! Those are sweet. Nice work!

I was thinking of getting a pair of the those. I think you've pushed me over the edge.

are those sz 34? Do you by chance have the raw and post wash measurements if you dont mind me asking.

Thanks

@Bloody, nice work! 

[bloodynutz]

@chewie Yes it's size 34. Sorry that I did not have chance to measure.

Just got that old t shirt/polo with the native print on the top chest... kinda can't believe I found it after 2 years.  If anyones interested, get the same size as their tees, this thing is perfect for hot-ass weather!

3001 (around 5 months of wear 3 washes) on top of K0011 (around 3.5 months of wear 3 washes)

 

 

texture shot of the 12 oz. K0011

 

 

pictures were taken outside on a cloudy day. The colour of the K0011 is a tad to light, at least on my screen.

[edmond]

hows the k0011? fit pics? details?

[Kurintor]

sorry for the blurry pic, nobody here to take them except my cat 

Rivets and buttons are the same as on the 3001, the selvedge on the coin pocket peeks out a bit.

I really like them, the 12 oz. denim breathes very well, makes them great for warmer weather.

Oh and the arcs are stitched with blue thread

[edmond]

whats the cut?

[Broark]

I've always wanted a pair of K0011, nice to see a fit pic!

[Kurintor]

 

whats the cut?

 

 

 

 

 

fuller in the top block than the 3001, but with a slight taper

 

here some measurements:

 

size 32

 

waist 32"

upper thigh 11.9"

knee 8.1"

hem width 7.5"

inseam hemmed to 32"

 

@Broark

 

The cut and denim are great, only issue is the slightly too small front pocket opening. Sliced the stitching a bit while wrestling out my keys

Quick pick up from SESF the other day. I haven't had anything from TFH in a few years. Being a huge SF Giants fan, I'd say this is the closest I'll ever come to the perfect t-shirt.

size 44

Hi The Flat Head owners, I've been wanting to post this question here for ages.

I've noticed that the finishing on the inside of the front pocket bag is rather "messy", just wondering if this is a common occurrence across all their jeans?

 

3011LTD

 

Just thought that it looks a bit odd since they are "particular" about their clothes but in this case it looks a bit lazy.

For comparison I've checked this part on all my other jeans and they all have a nice and clean finish.

 

Warehouse 700xx

 

 

 

 

 

[Cold Summer]

Weird!  The same part on my 1001s look fine. 

 

 

I've had these almost a year and I've worn them about 9 months of real wear time, they've held up great.  A tiny bit of thread on the front fly stitching, the back yoke, and the inseam have snapped, but haven't further unraveled at all.  The crotch shows zero sign of damage or blowout.  I've been really impressed by how well they've held together - though I'm sure it helps that I wash them semi-regularly.

[maikeru320]

Appreciate the quick response with a pic!

Maybe my pair was made by a different worker who's not so particular about the construction...

Don't get me wrong, I still like my flat head jeans, the raised belt loops and back pocket rims are all good details, just thought that messy finish was a bit odd...

Would be really interested to see what other owners' pairs look like?

[B-Sandy]

Checked my pair of 3002s. Clean finish on the pocket bag for mine. 

[BlackPig]

Messy pocket finish is only "Limited" to 3011LTD model.   

[tmadd]

Is 3011LTD a 20oz model?  It's hard to figure out what's going on there from the picture, but it almost looks like the denim is contributing to whatever the issue is.  Weird.

[maikeru320]

Just got word from Kobayashi san, the worker that made my 3011LTD no longer works there, got fired.

The fact that I'm 100% uncertain whether you've just made a clever joke, or related something that is completely factual, is exactly the reason that TFH is an incredible company.

[maikeru320]

The range of products that TFH makes does make them a pretty incredible company.

I was just not sure if that's how they intended to stitch their pocket bags together on their jeans, turns out it's really more like a harmless defect I guess.

All jokes aside, I am pretty sure it's not caused by the weight of the denim but rather just a sloppy job.

Both pockets have that messy finish.

3011LTD

 

 

I checked my 20oz 2111 and it's even more obvious, seems like they simply didn't bother to trim off the excess fabric.

 

My Eternal 883 is showing a bit of that sloppy finish as well, but that's not surprising because Eternal is not really particular about their clothes.

 

[tmadd]

Yeah...with those photos it's a lot easier to see it's not the denim at all...wasn't sure exactly what I was looking at in the first photo.

 

This is something I admittedly haven't spent a ton of time looking at, even on my own jeans.  I'll be geeking out on this soon.

[edmond]

wtf? anal about it? jeez man come on theyre fuckin made by small production

houses literally family owned. its normAl everything is imperfect. and thats how we want it

and thats what makes it special and human

[BlackPig]

On one hand I agree with you. However, on the the other, if I paid $300+ for a pair of jeans I want it to be top notch. It's the fine details that attracts us denim nerds to geek out on a pair of raw. Even if the details are hidden. Why else would we obsess about hidden rivets and raised belt loops.

[edmond]

these are top notch correct but again theyre hand made ny humans which is error prone. like alden theyre fucking quality is fucked up. and theyre expensive right? anyways these are not made by robots which would justify perfection .

[kiya]

Just for the sake of argument.. what jeans (or shoes) are made by robots? 

I'd pay extra just to see a robot make a pair of jeans or some shoes.

[garden gnomes in space]

Ive seen imperfections on quite a few of my jeans and I dont really care.  My Warehouse 415's are finished sloppy as shit, but the denim is great and the construction is sound.  My ROY RS04's have a fucked up shell stitching on the fly that Im pretty sure should have been a reject.  Whatever, not a big deal.  In the end, I just dont have time to worry about these small imperfections, its what helps make them unique.  

 

BTW, this is just my perspective.  Not saying you are out of line for being concerned or anything.
