If you can't button them raw you to need to exchange them for two sizes up.

nope thats my true size, the fit on my waist its okay. finally i can button it, and guess what my thumb was very ill

kiya

thanks kiya, this is my fit

should i get two sizes up? because finally i can buttoned it..

nihped

yes its my true size, the length to button it, its far eough it was so close, but really hard to get it done.

[Cold Summer]

Those don't look too tight. It sounds like you just had trouble getting the buttons closed because the button holes are too small at first. The holes will stretch out in a few days.

Those FH fakes look absolutely horrible.

yap i think soo. by the way with that fit what should i do? intial soak with hot water or cold water?

i wanna get maximum shrink at the leg opening and inseam, but not at my waits, becuase i think the fit on my waist its confortamble (before initail soak) many thanks before

[TATE + YOKO]

fhxnfxty, 3-4 months in. post-soak

[Flash]

Soak in hot water and just keep the waist out of the water ( but you will allways have the waist shrinkage to deal with when you soak or wash , the waist will stretch out tho)

i've been reading through the forum and am still trying to figure out what the consensus is on 3009 sizing and would appreciate any help you guys might have. from what i've read, some people seem to be saying tts; others size up 1. i have a 31 waist; i have a pair of 3sixteen sl-100x size 29 which are pretty (maybe a little too) snug in the waist if that helps.

[shoreman]

Get a size 32 and just understand it will be tight at first. But, with consistent wear, it will be perfect. Depending on the size of your hips and thighs, there might be an unattractive hip flare. However, a second hot soak will take care of it. The most important thing is to be mindful of your inseam length. Flat Head denim shrinks quite a bit and once the combs start to set it you'll lose a bit of length as well.

@tate : thats a really good fit there. I love such fits.

[gentry]

Bsp at around 5 months. One warm soak.

[gregornz]

Beautiful jeans and great fit Tate+Yoko!

[windtrim]

thanks, shoreman. in terms of length, i'm usually a 33. if i get them unhemmed, i should be fine, right? they shouldn't shrink to less than 33 inseam, should they? thanks.

Flathead F380. About 2 1/2 years of wear and 3 washes.

I actually just bought a pair of FH3009 recently, and they run pretty small. I would recommend sizing up 2 from your true size and giving them a hot soak. I sized up one and noticed they weren't much bigger than my true size, so I decided to give them a cold soak to keep them from shrinking too much. I've been wearing them for about 2-3 weeks now and the waist hasn't stretched as much as I would have liked them too. So now I really regret that I had gone up one size instead of two.

Note: I do like my jeans a little loose though so that I can sag a bit (which is why I wish I went up two sizes instead of one). But if you're not really into that kinda thing, then yeah just go up one size. They do fit perfect though if I wear them how jeans are "supposed" to be worn. Hope this helps out

[SallyDavis]

Btw, here's the pair of FH3009 I just bought. About 2-3 weeks in.

[zeezyo]

anyone have fit pics of the SE x FH x RJB? or evo pics?

New to flat head. do they really shrink 4 inches in the inseam after a hot soak

[shoreman]

I believe Josh--the SE model--is rocking a pair in most of the recent fit pics.

[mcb]

hey guys, which cut is slimmer? 3001 or bsp? any real big difference in the fabric? i'm going to buy my first pair of fh soon and it's down to these two cuts. not really feelin' the zipper fly on the 3001 though.

also, should i go tts?

thanks

Edited April 10, 2012 by mcb

[Cold Summer]

Both have the same denim. The 3001 has a tight thigh and looser lower leg, and the BSP has a slightly looser thigh and smaller leg opening. I have both (in size 32) and the BSP is a much better fit.

If you get the BSP, go TTS. If 3001, size up one.

[mcb]

Thanks for the reply! Might go with the bsp since it has a button fly.

how do you guys feel about wearing the jeans while damp after the presoak?

[angelachanny]

Pretty sure I'll be wearing flathead balders for the rest of my life.

I think it's been a couple of years and they've had their fair share of washes

[mcb]
