The Flat Head

[itsbenhere]

I Love ur chucks. These Are vintage Made in u.s. Ones, right???

Thanks man, they're just the 70s versions!

That's a good question about the MK, I have no clue. Maybe kyle can chime in...

[kiya]

anyone know the Flat Head MK Series? Why are they so expensive ($500). They are not even kevlar-infused or natural indigo dyed yet they cost more than one?

The MK lined is named after the president and founder of Flat Head, Masayoshi Kobayashi.  It's their "ultra-premium" line, much of the jewelry has diamonds and the price points of everything is far higher.  Why the jeans cost $500 though, i do not know.

My F380 from the Aero sale have arrived

They're getting their shrink wash right now. I already liked them a lot when I tried them on and I think / hope they'll turn out great once shrunk. Didn't have a cut like these (more '66 I think?) yet either.

They're great jeans Cucoo, I used to have the F350. Those back pockets are a little small and your wallet may sit awkwardly due to the assymetrical shape but they're minor gripes. Enjoy them!

You're exactly right, the pockets could be a couple cm deeper, my wallet will poke out a bit. I'll get used to that I think. The asymmetrical form looks cool, so whatever.

 

 

But other than that, I love them. This is exactly the kind of slim straight fit (slim, but not tight, through thighs and legs but big enough leg opening for proper boots) I would have bought the Samurai S5000 for if that Aero sale hadn't come along - also Denimio being closed for golden week or something like that helped sell these to me  (Guess I can now get a S0500 some time!)

 

There's a tiny bit of flare right below my butt, but I think that won't be noticeable once the denim settles. The length works out so that I can do a 5cm double rolled cuff and land at my perfect inseam. Fit pics (taken before I even sat down in them so they sit and crinkle weirdly)

 

[itsbenhere]

Perfecto. Hem them a couple inches and you'll be golden!

I still need to hem mine even more and I think they'll feel like a new pair of jeans after.

[Cucoo]

Yeah I might have to chop off an inch or two after all, I've adjusted the cuffs to a narrower triple high and the length is better now. I'll see if it starts to bother me or not.

indigo game is strong. 

[lifeinthedogbox]

have recently bought a pair of F310's. have done a initial hot soak. i can button up, but they are just uncomfortably tight. will they stretch much at all? 

[Cold Summer]

The waist will stretch a little but if they're tight in the thighs you may consider selling and sizing up.

 

Also, you've got the best username I've seen in a while.

[itsbenhere]

Not worth sticking with them... Flat heads should be comfortable from

The get-go because they are not made of denim that is meant to stretch much.

[Sugar Mountain]

Yeah, it's really not worth wearing jeans that are too tight. Looks bad for one thing but more importantly you want something that you're comfortable wearing day in, day out for at least a year. I had to abandon my 3001 (same cut as F310) because the denim continued to shrink even after several hot soaks and washes. Get some 3009 instead.

[lifeinthedogbox]

ok thanks, will try and sell, hopefully get near to what i paid for them back. unless i can loose a couple of kilos haha.

Hi guys!

I need some advice please. I just pre-order the FH 8002 18oz. I used to have a pair of 3002 that shrank too much even cold washing which I sold. This time I sized up like I should have before and I just want to know if anyone has experience with that 18oz denim (unless it's new) and how much shrinking I should expect from the inseam. Staff at 2nd are telling me huge numbers so just looking for a second advice before hemming.

Thank you in advance! Cheers,

JP

The 18 oz. denim is brand new and unfortunately I don't really know anything about it, so no idea how it's going to shrink.

[kiya]

I asked Flat Head about shrinkage on the 8002 and they said they hadn't done a proper shrink test on them yet.  We'll have this style at all Self Edge stores when it releases in October or so and we'll be doing our own test on them then.

@coldsummer @kiya

Thank you for the info guys! Much appreciated.

i was seriously tempted Maynard but the dimensions are like you said, a bit on the small side ( for me).

I gave my wabash shirt another wash last night. It's such an incredible shirt and the denim is starting to show a little of how awsome it's gonna turn out. If you don't have one I seriously recommend getting one, definitely my favourite shirt.

 

 

 

[Chubacca]

Fit pics? Slim or box cut?

[Broark]

I really want a FH wabash shirt but I don't think my beer belly would agree with the cut!
