The Flat Head

[deminslut]

nice fit. how did u size them?

[datguy]

up 1 from true

[jjkchung]

you got the right size +rep

[datguy]

thank you

[fashunhor]

buldge never dies! that's why I sold em...

Really? The model for the 1001s on the SE site has a nice tight fit with no bulge.

[Vinneus]

1001 fit just wasnt right for me, love my 380's.

[grand_theft_auto]

Presoak 1001s size 32. For reference my waist is around 34.5. They fit just right in the waist. They are kind of baggy in the front crotch and upper ass area. I think that these should shrink down to what I want, although this is my first unsanforised pair. What do you think?

i had a pair of F380s that were totally baggy around the ass area, even after a soak. I read somewhere that Flat Heads are for some bizarre reason cut this way. I sold mine in the end. Shame, love the denim but the cut was sucky in the top box.

@datguy

they fit you well mate!

[unfuccwittable]

1001 fit just wasnt right for me, love my 380's.

Ditto. Im gonna post some evo pics of my 380s later.

[fashunhor]

So the 380s didn't have the bulge?

I think my girlfriend ordered me one of those Flathead loopwheel shirts. I don't think I've seen a fit on anyone other than selfedge models and edmond, anyone got one they care to post pictures of? pretty excited.

[fashunhor]

Can anyone else speak to the ass bulge with Flatheads? Giles at Flathead.co.uk says that it decreases as the denim molds to your body. I would like to believe this since I just dropped $300 on a pair

[halberdklown]

^ i think its just the initial stiffness of it, i had that too, but after a few months, as the denim gets softer and all that, it pretty much disappears

[panthermodern]

^yeah it definitely goes away within a few weeks. I wouldn't worry about it, ass bulge just makes it look like you do a lot of squats anyways.

[unfuccwittable]

the bulge isn't that bad after a few weeks of wear. it goes away with time.

i gott a question....are you suppose to or not suppose to soak FHs right after you get em. im hearing a lot of controversy on this. cuz one person told me that if you warm soak it....al the dye comes out....but if you do soak it....the shrinkage is out of the way....so the guy told me to wear it for a few months then soak.....

what are you realyl suppose to do???!??!?!?

[datguy]

inside out soak

[Guest Midnite8]

Very minimal indigo dye comes over, don't worry.

Have you read anything on this forum at all? Soak them. Multiple times even. Toss em in the wash. Yes the water will be very blue. However, Flat Heads are dyed so dark that they will remain extremely dark - I highly doubt you'll see them lighten up at all. I've worn mine for eleven months and the dark areas, such as the shins, are just as dark as when I first got them and they've been through almost ten soaks and two machine washes.

And whoever told you to wear unsanforized jeans for a few months before soaking is a fucking moron.

[jobesjobes]

Go panthermodern! A+

[Satya]

^^

very nice fit! +rep!

[kiya]

There's something about it that doesn't look great, maybe it's just the stance, it's a bit awkward looking.

[choice]

I'm slouching a fair bit, that and they're still stiff as cardboard - so I imagine that doesn't help much.

[drapygo]

just curious, does anyone elses flat head 4001 (or other black denim flathead model) smell kinda funky after awhile?

[cure]
