The Flat Head

[inyourface1]

what do you think of buying 3007 flatheads since bootcut is not popular and cheaper than the slim models and then sending them to a reliable tailor to get em tailored skinny. Would it be just like a slim model?Would there be any difference? Because i would save lots of money

[lilmarkham4]

How did you size on those? They look really skinny..

[appfaff]

Those look cool and super-slim mrjfang. I like the fit, suits you well. These should get awesome fades, and I'm interested to see how the arcs fade.

are these 100% cotton threads or are they poly-core like the Frontier series?

[Guest Midnite8]

way too skinny for my taste but nonetheless great jeans

you would probably loose the selvedge edge, unless you found an amazing tailor, and in the end you would probably end up paying the same amount to get them super-altered as you would have buying the exact pair you would really want.

Not a terrible idea, but not a route that I would take.

mrjfang, you at SFSU?

[mrjfang]

@lilmarkham4: I have a 28 inch waist and the pair i got are labeled 29 for the waist. I actually tried on the size 28 and they were too tight.

@appfaff: I really like the fit too. Its exactly what I was looking for, and I'm really excited to see how these fade! I've seen so many pics of awesome flat heads and its going to be fun to see how these turn out. I'm not sure if they're poly-core, but I read somewhere that they use FH's 3xxx denim, which is the Pioneer series I believe

@connor: actually I go to Cal Poly SLO

[appfaff]

nice! can't wait to see these in a few months.

Here are some flicks of my W33 L36 Inazuma's Pre-Soak. I Purchased them on Black Friday (11/27/09). I will be soaking them tomorrow. More flicks to come...

[Guest Midnite8]

did u resize the pics, the jeans look rlly rlly short

[mrjfang]

it could be the angle the picture was taken. either that or they were hemmed

[kiya]

Sidney's photography still makes me wet.

[appfaff]

@Kiya, I agree, I can finally really see the blue thread intertwined with the red. looks amazing.

[Tiro]

what shirt is that? looks schweet!

I just soaked my first pair of 1001s. 45 minute almost hot soak. The water definitely turned a bit blue. But as I handled them an patted them dry I continue to get a lot of indigo on my hands.

I just got a natural leather belt from Tanner that I wanted to start breaking in but I think that it would probably get blue stripes on it from the indigo on belt loops. Has anyone had this experience?

Yes. This is what happens when you wear jeans.

ya don't say!

no, why do you ask?

the backpocket stitching on those inazumas is nice. i saw a selfedge parcel sitting in my girlfriends room the other day, presumably the flat head loopwheel shirt I assume she bought me for christmas.

[fashunhor]

Yes. This is what happens when you wear jeans.

Thank you sid for making the obvious painful I guess if I were to refine my question...would it be ill advised to wear a natural belt with jeans that lose a lot of indigo? (My APCs and Nudies didn't bleed like these FH)

Thanks!

[Chipper]

That belt is screaming for you to break it in...don't baby it

[choice]

Clean the belt with saddle soap and a brush if it starts to rub off onto the belt. You want it to break in though, right? Just wear it and see what happens.

[jobesjobes]

Just wear the shit. Breaking it in may mean getting indigo on it, or dirt, or beer. But whatever happens to it, well its going to be unique to you and no one will be able to replicate that. To not wear a presumably expensive belt just because you 'may get some indigo on it' seems ridiculous to me.

[PeterParker]

+1 to all of the above.

fashunhor, I've seen your posts on SuFu and SF, and I'll say this as nicely as I can. Stop thinking about jeans, belts, etc. Just wear them, and don't forget to admire them every so often. It really is just that simple.

You obviously picked the right girl
