The Flat Head

[Iron Horse]

Sleeves on my TFH wabash are on the long side, and my hips test the limits of its width, but I love this shirt; wearing it as I type this, with a THC underneath.

The shoulders on their shirts are great, I just wish they'd add a bit room to the chest...

 

Size 40 chest is borderline, size 42 and the shoulders are...

[Flash]

quick question ... 

 

if im a 38 in this shirt 

 

http://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1216&search=flat+head

 

would it be safe to assume id be a 38 in the 7001/2 ?

thanks for any help 

 

edit .... has anyone got some washed measurements of a size 40 ?

I think that the 7001/7002 is going to fit a lot different than the average flat head shirt in the same size. Namely, *I think* slimmer and longer in both sleeves and body length, especially the latter.

 

Calling Cold Summer...

[Cold Summer]

Yep, I have the 7002W and it's much longer in the sleeves and body length compared to my other FH shirts. Seems to fit similar to my other size 40 FH shirts in the chest and shoulders, but I think the torso is a little slimmer overall.

thanks lads 

 

this is the above linked shirt in a 38 

 

 

so im thinking a 38 in the 7001/2 should be good

Ben how much does the waist on your pair stretch out after a wash and wear?

[Sugar Mountain]

Flash, given the way that flannel fits on you, I suspect that the 7002 is going to be a shade long in the arms and possibly the body.

That's what I'm thinking too.

Ciabatta, it'll easily go back to presoak after wearing it for a few days. Even after hot washing it etc

[Rightyow77]

Just threw my 3009 in the wash after wearing them today. I hot soaked them but they still felt a little cardboard like, they fit a lot better this time around.

@ Flash: love this shirt. It's the normal weight, not the winter flannel, right?

[Flash]

yeah mate , still a descent weight ... the heavy weight shirts must feel like wearing a duvet  

[accidence]

Does anyone have any experience buying from Rakuten? I'm trying to grab a pair of 3009s as i'm unsure if the ultrasuede ones are going to be replacing the normal pair. I'm trying to order from 2nd but I can't find their email address to get a shipping estimate. Also, anyone have any thoughts on the normal 3009s vs the double stitched versions?

Anyone can talk about this TFH x RJB D109FXR jeans? Looks interesting.

 

[Rightyow77]

after one hot soak and 1 machine wash, here are my 3009's tag 31. Wear a 29-30 in most other brands

 

Knee is still flaring out but I'm sure it will settle. Will try and get better pictures

All Flat Head jeans released in Japan now have the ultra-suede on the back pockets.

[Ciabatta]

Gonna head to Self Edge today and try some 3009's on. Hope the 34 waist isn't too snug since they don't make a 35 and a 36 would be too big.

2nd generally runs me about $30 shipping to the states

Seems crazy to me that so many people are looking into buying flat heads now! Totally makes sense, but still. I wonder why everyone slept for so long...

 

I've been thinking about re-stitching some arcs on mine since they're like 75% disintegrated now.

[Geeman]

I don't think anyone has slept on TFH they've always been a big player? Perhaps now that people are moving away from tiny leg openings again TFH fits are desirable again?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Brands always have their ups and downs on here...TFH was a bit quieter the last 1-2 years or so but were way bigger some years ago.

Or take Momotaro...nearly no activity the last 1-2 years but before that, many people were interested. 

You will always see a peak in interest and when that crowd has filled its demand the brand gets quiter until a new bunch of people "discover" the brand.

And just like that I own some 3009's.

[Ciabatta]

I'm hoping for a nice trim cut with mobility. The legs feel fine. Not tight in the thigh or seat. Only thing is the waist will be a little tight I think. Right now at raw I'm able to fit 2 fingers in at the hip so it should be fine. It'll motivate to keep my gut down.

This. When I started wearing selvedge denim almost 10 years ago, FH was the most popular. Then it went to IH for a while and so on and so forth. Nothing more than a resurgence...

[Rightyow77]

Wish the overseas arcs on TFH weren't so ugly. Be nice if they had like half the arc or just plain pockets. I'm not alone in this right?

 

Also yeah I've always have had a pair of FH in my wardrobe, I always got the sizing wrong though and had to move them on. Really digging the 3009 and 3012 cuts though more along what I like to wear on the daily.

Damn I feel old...Who/what is the sidneylo/brand of this day and age?

Whatttt?? The domestic arcs are beautiful! Definitely my favorites. Also, you can always easily pick them off to give you half-arcs or nothing.

The reason why I say that is that in my opinion, if you think about a couple people who are actually regularly wearing Flat Head's as their main jeans, recently it hasn't been many. Then again, I guess you can say that about every brand since most people aren't wearing just one pair of jeans regularly but instead rotating their collections!

Meant overseas arcs! As in the ones available to those of us not in Japan. Sorry that came out wrong
