The Flat Head

[muddskipp]

why don't you try the selfedge x flathead x ring ring thread......

obviously didn't know it existed, but thanks

I wonder if cuddlestheshee would actually behave like he/she does in person? It was clearly a legitimate question, the description of the jeans has an inconsistency which may not have been intended by the poster. Hate away if you think that is in any way wrong.

edit: seen arthur's other post. He did mean it. Oh well, he won't complain when he goes to the shop, buys an unused apple which only has two bites out of it

i'm pretty sure i've seen plenty of negative/derogatory posts from cuddlestheshee on these boards.

thatboyo: nice to see another pair of inazumas!

Just washed last night and did some repairs on the back pocket. worn around 27.5 months. Theyve been washed pretty much every month for the last 8months i think.

[Cold Summer]

I'm still not a huge fan of the red stitching but those Inazumas look incredible.

Forgot to mention this before but I have a new pair of one-wash 3001s for sale in the Supermarket, featuring the old-style Japanese arcs. You won't get another great deal on these without paying a whole lot more money via proxies.

[mrjfang]

At first I did not like the red stitching but I knew people that had the regular gold arcs and it was nice to have something different. Once the stitching on the arcs started to come out though they looked a lot better imo

[Sugar Mountain]

Those are excellent Fang - makes me want to wear my TFH until they fall to pieces. Doesn't look like you had to do a lot of repairing other than on the back pocket which is impressive for over 27 months.

Is the Inazuma model a 3001 cut?

[Maynard Friedman]

No, it's slimmer.

I fucking love those, bud!..

[zwer]

Some amazing fades - I'm hoping my FH/Naked & Famous/Tate and Yoko's produce similar results!

They look a little snug in the top thigh, but the fading is awesome!

[Nevadaface]

I've been going through the back pages of this thread, and I see that the 3009 and the 3005 aren't that popular (or not as popular as the bsp or 3001).

Does anyone have, or know where I can find post soak measurements on the 3009 or 3005 (tagged waist 36)?

I have some slim fit jeans (APC new standard) but I would also like to have some looser (but not baggy) fit jeans. It's not always a slim fit day.

[Cold Summer]

Fully shrunk, Flat Head's 3XXX denim jeans are about .4-5" smaller in the rise/thigh/hem than in an unwashed size. The inseam will shrink to 84 cm / about 33 inches (the exception being the mercifully-long SE05BSP.) The 3009 sounds like it's what you're looking for, the 3005 is much looser. Go true to size for the right fit. An agitated hot soak/soap-less hot wash seems to get rid of nearly all the shrinkage in one shot, based on my experience.

No idea why nicely-faded 3009s don't show up on here. I think it's actually Flat Head's best cut (still slim, but without such tight thighs.)

[Maynard Friedman]

The 3009 isn't entirely dissimilar to the F380 and that's pretty popular in this thread.

[Airforbes1]

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to figure out the hem and thigh sizes mostly. A 3009 as a hem of 9 pre-soak. A 33 inch inseam seems like a lot of shrinkage from the measured 38 on self edge.

The 9" hem is kind of what I want in the finished product. I was hoping that the hem shrinkage would be a bit less, keeping in mind that I'm 5'11 so my hem would be at 32".

Maybe the f380?

[goki]

some close ups of the repairs done to my bsps... also got them hemmed recently, so working on the roping.

crotch is already starting to blow out on the front side again...

[Cold Summer]

Airforbes: Assuming that SE's 3009s are really 38" long pre-soak, they should shrink down to 35". I'm not sure if those measurements are reliable or not, though. I got some F310s from SE before and though they're listed as 37.5" on the site, they were actually about 36" long - that's the normal length for FH jeans in Japan. Assuming SE gets a special run of 3009s, those might actually be 38". If so, you should be fine. You'll be fine either way if your true inseam is 32".

The F380 and 3009 are the same cut. If you can get the F380 it's a better value than the 3009, SE is charging way too much for the 3009 for some reason, since construction-wise there's nothing there that should justify higher prices than the other, cheaper models they carry like the F310 or F380.

Very nice jeans Goki, I'd love to see some full pics. How many months?

thx broo.. yeah in the top thigh feel snug because my weight was up 8 pounds, these jeans seem to be rested, while I tried to lose weight. :D

For the London guys in this thread; I went by Son of a Stag today and was chatting with the guys there. They say that they are going to be stocking Flat Head and Iron Heart in the near future, July-August sometime. Just a heads up.

Give me a few more months and I'll have pics
