The Flat Head

[Vulcan]

Thanks man. That's right around the 6 month mark.

[ColdStorage]

Any washes?

 

Mine is at 6 months as well... (2 Soaks, no wash yet...) showing some wear but not far along as yours. Ill try to get pics up this weekend.

[Vulcan]

2 washes so far. The washes really helped the vertical texture start coming out. I def dig the more vintage look to the ultra contrast some people like so I wash more often than some.

[ColdStorage]

^I mostly agree, I treat different denim differently - but on all my pairs I would still probably qualify as a "frequent washer"... but since i'm not wearing my type II daily, and since its usually over a sweater and not in contact w/ my skin, it just hasn't needed a wash yet.

 

Anyways, looks very nice! Gives me something to look forward to. Thanks for posting.

I usually just leave my jackets unwashed, as I never find them to get dirty at all, yet my jeans get dirty everyday.

Flat Head 1001! Six months! Three washes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The combs still look kinda weird, but I think these are coming along really nicely.

They look great and remind me once again of Eternal denim.

[Cold Summer]

Eternal 811s might be my next pair, based on the measurements they're almost the same fit as my 1001s but with a .75" longer rise (the short rise is the only thing I don't like about the 1001 fit.)

[Max Power]

The 811 (or 888) have a great fit, I personally would prefer 0,5" more taper, that would make them perfect. You'll love them.

I first bought these for the cut, but I'm happy to say that I never knew that I would like the pioneer denim so much.  After I get my next pair of jeans I'll take some better shots/give thoughts if anyone's be interested... but for now

 

 

 

These are a tad wet as they just came out of a wash, and the pictures are taken in the shade, I might replace the pics tomorrow if they look drastically different

Is there any place that might still have the FHxT&YxN&F collab still?  Or anybody happen to know if they are going to do another run?

I think the second (and last) planned T&YxFH collab fell through and was replaced by a Momotaro one so I'd guess another FH one is highly unlikely .

[willrh1]

aww that's a bummer

I was helping a friend bs a physics assignment (no bearings on the trucks so we just threw the on some wheels and I stood) and got a nice picture of my jeans.  Also featuring the buzz watch cap, yr chambray, and ih bracelet.

Quick question: how soft is the denim on new pre-soak F310s? I ask because I've just got a pair and they feel almost suspiciously soft for unsanforised denim.

Like all 3xxx denim they are pretty stiff and rigid until the first soak

[Cold Summer]

It seems like there's a bit of variation in the feel of FH denim.  Sometimes it's fairly soft when new, and others, it's really rough (like the pair of 1001s I bought.)  However, after a bit of wear they all feel about the same to me, and I can't tell any difference in the fading properties, either. 

[Ceffyl]

I really don't know if I'm imagining things. They'd be softer than pre-soak PBJ 005s, wouldn't they?

[Ceffyl]

I'm glad you said that, Cold Mountain. I'm almost certain these aren't knock-offs because everything else about them is spot on.

[Ceffyl]

(Even down to the rivets having T F H on them.)

[Cold Summer]

Yes, FH is never nearly as rough as that PBJ denim, or something like Strike Gold, for example.

[Danny @ Rivet & Hide]

The X005 denim is very stubby within a rough handle when raw.

TFH denim will be smoother but still pretty stiff pre-soak

[edmond]

what size should i go for the 7002wr? inwear a medium on buzz rickson chambray

[edmond]

and also how to freakjn size on thise wabash eork shirt?

[sombrero]

Hey Edmond, I couldn't PM you, maybe your mailbox is full.  Chest size on my sz 44 FH Wabash (model 7012W) is accurate at 44".  I believe generally you want to give yourself 2-4" relative to your actual chest measurement, depending on your desired fit.

My size 42 7009W wabash workshirt is also true to size with a 21" p-2-p measurement, as are all my other FH workshirts.
