Hello, This is my very first post. I've been reading a lot around here for a couple of weeks. Would someone be so kind to explain to my their reasons for the negative response that I see here above in regards to the possible Flat Head x Naked and Famous collaboration?

One of the reasons that I ask is because I just got myself some N&F x ONI jeans and I am seriously digging em.

Thanks!

In my opinion, fh collaborating with n&f would be seen as a sell out move. Am i correct people? Kind of like tool collaborating with justin bieber (t x jb). Get me?

[l1mab3an]

If momo and oni can do a good collab and not be considered a sell out, flat head sure as hell can

[llvlaglne]

i agree with non cents, flat head doesnt need to do a collaboration to gain notoriety. They gain fans simply by making a good product.

I guess people like the idea of brand exclusivity...For others, it's having the "Flat Head" (or any of our beloved brands) name on a collaboration product that isn't necessarily of the same quality/caliber of the flagship product...

[l1mab3an]

I agree that they don't need to do it, but think of all the great denim brands, nearly all of them have done some sort of collab (maybe not samurai) even eternal did a mash up with dior right? Is Lanvin laughable now they did the h&m collab, what about Alden with JCrew. Great brands can do great collabs and not take away from their image (IMO)

[reallypeacedoff]

I never said that it was a bad thing. I was just painting the picture. eternal collaborating with dior could be seen as a good thing, dior cuts with eternal denim? Sounds amazing, however I haven't seen the jeans though... But if ferrari collaborated with hyndai, i wouldn't look at ferrari in the same light. would you?

flat head x N&f is like five guys collaborating with mcdonalds.

but if it's just N&f using flat head's denim, that's not so bad i guess. my main gripe with n&f (aside from their kinda trashy image, compared to FH's classiness) is that their denim is kinda ugly looking, at least when new.

Or umami burger...

[hello4u]

3xxx denim in weird guy lol

[aho]

The reason I wouldn't jump on board is the construction and fit...It does give a people the chance to try out "new" denim at a lower price point so it's not necessarily a bad thing for the masses (and come on, most people aren't buying $100+ denim anyway)...I'd just rather shell out the extra cash for the real deal!

[oceansand]

thanks for your honest thoughts folks. i think i get it. that being said....if umami burger figured out a way to get their burgers to be pumped out of all mcdonalds i would be psyched just as long as the quality was still there. so if flathead can make some sweet jeans and naked and famous wanna market them....i am down!

funny that people still believe this urban myth...eternal x dior

I'm on the side, which doesn't want a collab but it's too late now I guess

[onehundy]

as Kiya said on the IHuk forum it's only available at tate+yoko store as this store is run by one of the n&f guys (or so)

[l1mab3an]

You guys do know that the collabs run about 265? Which is nearly as expensive as buying flatheads outright... And if it is anything like the momo collab the construction of the jeans will happen at FH which will result in the same quality you all love. It pretty much boils down to if you like the WG or SG fit. To each his own, I am bias because I have the momo x NF weird guy because i wanted a slim fit with room for my thighs that momo did not currently offer (at least when I was poking around it seemed anything remotely slim had little baby thighs). The quality of construction on my pair is really good, I will see with age how it stacks up against my eternals but right off the bat it is a much higher construction then regular NF denim.

Zomg im going to get negged because I didn't say YA F COLLABS BRAHHH

[aho]

^Thanks for the clarification...Didn't realize construction wasn't done by Naked & Famous on those collabs...But still, I prefer a looser fit! To each his own

I believe the "Dior x Eternal" was just Dior using the same denim as Eternals did. Not a "official" collab
