The Flat Head

[itsbenhere]

Thanks guys! How tall are you j? I'm 5'9 so the slightly shorter rise (considering the fullness) makes the cut perfect for me.

[Cold Summer]

Hi Richie,

 

Thanks!  Yours look great too.

I'm not in Japan anymore, I moved back to the US six months ago.  I'm doing pretty good!

[Coolguyzack]

Dude that looks killer. You definitely won it with that pair. The sneaks are awesome too what are those?

[itsbenhere]

Thanks for the good vibes guys, can't take these off my legs!

 

 

whats the front rise on yer size ben? and the size?

 

 

These are a size 33... after my washing regimen, the waist is back at a comfy 33 (the presoak), and the rise is 11".

Those are too big, you either need to size down or soak them again with warmer water and some agitation to get more shrinkage out if you didn't do that in the first place. 

[reallypeacedoff]

^ I agree. Either size down 1 or give it a couple of hot soaks (with agitation) for half an hour.

@B-Sandy

@reallypeacedoff

Hmmm i think ill give it a hot soak

I cant size down 1 to 31, my waist doesnt fit, it cant be buttoned, lol

My true sz is 32,3

But is it okay to soak it once agan? What about the indigo loss? But i think it wont loss too much since its still a couple of days , am i right.

Thanks for the input

There will be literally no indigo loss so don't worry about that.

 

I soaked my BSPs 3 times before I wore them and they shrunk every time. Can't speak for 1XXX denim though. Just hot soak (hottest water out of the tap you can get) them for 30 minutes or so (there's no point soaking for 30 minutes plus as the jeans can't "over-saturate"), agitate them for like a few minutes and hang dry until completely dry. Repeat. Worked a charm for me.

Really nice color and fades on those f310 and 1001s!

Why are you retiring your 1001s Kyle?? They probably look even more awesome after another year!

[Cold Summer]

I totally agree Grim Jarno... I think they'd get even better after more wear, but I'm retiring them because of the fit.  I'm really tall so the rise and thigh are a little uncomfortable for me.  I wanted to stick with them for a year, then work on other pairs.

@reallypeacedoff

ohh ic ic so its true that the indigo loss won't be much

thanks for the input mate 

[Grim Jarno]

Too bad the fit doesn't work for you. I wish my 1001s had a little higher rise and more rooms in the thighs as well. They are fairly comfortable though and are curious how they look over a long period with many washes

What's gonna be your next project?

[Cold Summer]

I'm working on my RJB D105s, mainly. I'm also wearing my Samurai S710s on days where I wear sneakers, and I'm getting some Dawson jeans, though I probably won't star wearing those full time until next spring.

[Cold Summer]

Hey guys, I added some FH leather stuff to my For Sale thread in my sig.  My FH long wallet and wallet ropes are up for sale, along with my FH heavy plate belt and some other stuff.

Kyle, you're selling your FH long wallet?!  That thing is a beauty.  Going for something shorter for your next wallet?  Just bought the Wild Child, which is working out great.

 

John

[Cold Summer]

Yep, I think it's a great wallet too but I'm trying to go for a little more understated style so I'm just using my FH cordovan card wallet most of the time.  I want the long wallet to get used by someone who's going to fully appreciate it so that's why it's up for sale.  I don't want it to sit in my room, unused.

[JohnM]

Is this the one you mean Kyle?  ;-)

Hi anyone heard about the 3002-A? Apparenty it's a ltd edn and i can't find any information of it on the net. Any idea how the fit is like?

[Maynard Friedman]

Is 3001 the slimmest cutting for Flat Head?

[B-Sandy]

3002 is I think. Similar thigh and knee but about 3/4 of an inch smaller leg opening.

I lost my Flat Head virginity (sort of) when this came in the other day.

 

 

Out of all the "nice" T-shirts I own (Buzz Rickson's, Toys McCoy, Trophy Clothing, Velva Sheen) I have to say, the FH is my favorite. 

 

 

The print reminds me of Chief Dan George and Black Elk, and their wonderful writings:

 

"O Great Spirit! 

Whose voice I hear in the wind, whose breath gives life to the world...hear me. 

I come to you as one of your many children...I am small and weak, I need your strength and your wisdom."

 

"Perhaps you have noticed that even in the slightest breeze you can hear the voice of the cottonwood tree; this we understand is its prayer to the Great Spirit, for not only men, but all things and all beings pray to Him continually in different ways."

[Cold Summer]

Shoot, I thought I was the only one outside of Japan with that exact sweater.  Awesome sweater BTW, the color is great and it's very warm.  Added bonus, it's directly based on a vintage garment, I've seen the original at the FH office and it looks exactly the same.
