The Flat Head

[afuadha]

as far as i know. after wash, he found his jeans folded inside the machine, and so maybe that might be the thing caused that

just tryin to help anyway

[oomslokop]

i read in the indo forum that @darbir put his jeans in the washing machine right side out for 1 hour 9 minutes on the "denim" cycle. i reckon it was the right side out that did it (the vertical lines). in my experience, you can put yr jeans thru all sorts of cycles, including the spin cycle, for however long, tumble dry them, and theyll be fine as long as you turn em inside out.

[darbir]

sorry for the late reply guys, thank you so much for the explanation @afuadha and @oomslokop. yea its true im not turn em inside out like oomslokop said, really sad and i hope the vertical lines will be gone soon

I'm pretty sure those are set in at this point. However, I'd argue that the jeans don't owe you anything at this point, based on the wear. Continue to wear them if you so please, but there'd be no harm in starting on a new pair.

Got these in the other day and didn't know they'd shrink so much in the waist. Awesome fit everywhere except the waist. So, I'm putting them up hoping for a quick sale before I decide to keep them and endure the pain.

I finally ordered some BSPs, size 32, after asking Kiya for sizing advice. I'll post pre-and-post-soak fit pics after they arrive. Seriously excited!

[bb_tt]

i love my bsps tts. im pretty slim and if they were tapered any more, they would definitely be too tight.

[llvlaglne]

@coldsummer- hold off till july/august to wear them if we actually do the contest lol

The Flat Head F310

8 Months

1x Soak 1x Wash 1x Seawash

[AutoTune]

Do any of the short guys in here rock the 39 inseam on SE05BSPs?

[bb_tt]

no, just get them hemmed

[Cold Summer]

I am. But of course I'm friggin' tall ( 6 ' 3 " or 191 cm ) so it feels great to wear something really long after years of barely-enough 34" inseams.

[llvlaglne]

@autotune- are you looking for a pair?

[DancerS]

hi guys im lookin at getting either FH310's or IH301's, im just wonderng how these compare to the nudie thin finn cut and sizing related to it, thanks in advance

[AutoTune]

@6435llvlaglne

Nah, I got some last weekend.

I soaked them but they didn't shrink that much. I'm 5'6-5'7 and the inseam is a bit too much.

SE05BSP, Pre-soak

Post-Soak

I really like these. They're kind of an odd fit, though. The top block is really comfy and relaxed but not saggy, while it gets really tight in the lower thighs (not quite as much as my PBJs, though) before a nice fit in the lower leg. If the lower thigh was just a little bit looser the fit would be pretty much perfect. I'm guessing the problem is that since I'm so tall I have longer thighs than most people that cut into the knee area of most jeans. I suspect most pairs of slim jeans start tapering 2-3" too high for me. Stacks haven't settled yet but the long inseam feels great and overall I'm very happy to finally get some good canvas for watching this denim's legendary fading.

FH310's & IH301s are two different cuts. the 310 is a slim straight, the 301s is a slim taper. i don't recall much about Nudie cuts but the IH301s is slimmer overall than the FH310 - if that helps at all....

TFH 1001

9 month, 1 initial soak, 1 seawash, 1 machine wash

before wash

after wash

cheers..

[Cold Summer]

Stunning! One of the more dramatic pre-and-post-wash changes I've seen. So that was the second wash? Did you wash them in hot water?

[llvlaglne]

@dancers- 301s are more of a grim tim fit

[Jonpwn]

Need some help guys, I got these sz 33 f310's in the mail today. here they are, pre soak of course

i had to struggle to get it on the waist but after about 5 minutes i managed to get it (part of the problem was the buttonhole was kind of small). thighs are a little tight but i can still pinch out some fabric. I do plan to do cold soak for about an hour and lose 10 lbs in the next 3-4 weeks to slim down if i keep them. I haven't seen SE have a 34 in stock for a while so should i soak them and wear or return to self edge?

thanks!

Depends how you like to wear your jeans. I've come to the conclusion that if I have difficulty buttoning up a pair pre-soak, then they're too small. I like the look of those jeans as is, which means you could probably benefit from a size up.

[okisan]

also keep in mind most raw jeans, including Flat Head, will stretch beyond their raw state after a while. if you're concerned about it, jam something in the waist while soaking, and indeed after, to stretch the waist. may seem like a hassle but it helps.

and I wonder where on your body you wanna lose 10 lbs? most of the time the " i'm going to lose weight"-shit doesn't work

the 34 is the safer way and you will be able to wash your jeans properly and don't have to be afraid of them become too small in some months. as the cold soak only helps you now...but when you machine wash they will shrink nevertheless.

[wax]

Anyone see this?? holy fuck. i wanna see someone wearing this.. it has to be ridiculously heavy. Details are nice though

Yeah very nice Wax, saw it on Rakuten. They also have a Cafe Racer style which looks pretty good too.

i know it'll come from all around my body not just my waist, but it will definitely help slim my waist. Anyways i have faith in myself, i did lose 20 lbs over the past year but let myself go (with eating) this past winter break with no cardio. just gotta incorporate 20 min jogs after my weightlifting during the week and i'll be good by the end of this month.

thanks for the tip okisan, i ended up putting a 5 gallon bucket in the waist and hanging the jeans upside down to dry, definitely did help!

anyways some post soak pics, sorry they're out of focus (no cordless shutter release):

was able to button them up, they're slightly tighter around the thighs but these are a slim cut that i'm not used to.

[LckyChrmsBBoy]

hopefully once they settle you wont have that flare at the ankles. That is killing the fit in second pic for me.

[Jonpwn]

yeah it bothers me too lol and another user on a different forum pointed that out. i'll probably cuff and let it stack, i'm 6' 1" and would rather not hem these if i don't have to.
