The Flat Head

Awesome!

So what's the verdict on shrinkage for Flathead shirts? I really like the two shirts that I bought but would like it even better if they were 0.5 inches shorter on the sleeves and the arm length. If I hot wash and tumble dry would I get any results? Can anyone provide any feedback?

[Maynard Friedman]

My experience is that FH shirts shrink over the first couple of washes, so I think you'll be OK.

Here's some pictures of my 1001s. I've worn these jeans on and off for the last 3 years. They've had a lot of washes and a lot of repairs.

Are those new shirts:

and

It looks like the 'w-o' designation is like the 'wr' one: it indicates a somewhat wide shirt...

[Cold Summer]

Yep, that is correct. The first season or two they had the wide fit shirts they called them W-O, then WR after that. It's just an older shirt from a few years ago.

I am looking for shoulder (BiG style) and p2p measurements on the TFH 7001w shirt in size 42 and 44. Also interested in those measurements for the "regular sized" model 7001wr. I have found some info on stores' websites but I would like some first hand info from an owner. Thank you!

hi guys need your help my true waist is 32inch will it be possible for me to fit 3002 tag size 30? as rivet and hide their size chart shows tag size 30 is true waist 30 in pre wash

[Cold Summer]

No, absolutely not. You probably need a size 33. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I would not recommend to size down on Flat Head's Pioneer denim.

So if the other jeans you wear measure 32" in the waist after they have stretched you would at least need a size 32, maybe better a 33.

No way. You will most likely need at least a size 34. I am a true 36 and bought a pair of 38. They shrunk about 2 inches from tag size in the waist with a soak in lukewarm water after 45 minutes.

[Maynard Friedman]

You measure 32" in the waist. You are asking if you should buy some jeans that measure 30" in the waist before shrinkage and are likely to measure 28" after a wash, although will probably stretch back to 30".

Does that sound sensible?

[1fookntitefd]

Flathead jeans shrink a lot. Here are pre and post soak fit pics of my 3002. I lost 2 inches in the waist and half an inch from the thigh down:

thanks people does pre wash mean one wash? or isit raw? because i wear pbj xx012 on tag size 30

[beautiful_FrEaK]

EDIT: pre-wash means raw. not washed.

Flat Head jeans are usually raw/un-washed. So your PBJ measures 32" in the waist?

thanks for enlighten, pbj tag size 30, onewash measure was around 31 and raw is 32 but it just stretches out nicely, so if i get tag size 31 & measure true waist 31 in the pre wash chart? https://rivetandhide.com/the-flat-head-3002-jean.html

What do your PBJ measure right now when you measure them according to Rivet&Hides measuring guide?

Pre-wash usually means raw or unwashed, not one-washed. The R&H pre-wash measurements for those FH3002 are raw/unwashed measurements.

Fuck yeah..sorry I was wrong. Totally mixed up pre and post...

[Maynard Friedman]

We forgive you

Current fit pic after 7 months of wear. Still no washes. Please ignore my fat ass.

[1fookntitefd]

As an aside my wife thinks IronHeart jeans fit and look better on me. I think flathead fits better. What do you guys think?

 

 

[garden gnomes in space]

fit looks fine.  waistband looks a bit tight for comfort.  I base this statement on my own gut situation and out fatting all but one pair of my jeans.  Im very sensitive to a tight waistband  

[1fookntitefd]

Jeans are getting their first wash. Dumped them in the washer here are some pre wash pics:

 

 

[shoreman]

@1fookntitefd top block looks tight. 

[1fookntitefd]

Despite the way the pictures look I actually have about 1.5 invhes of free space in the waist...

[Foxy2]

Kinda' agree with your wive - based on the pics the IH's seem to be a better cut for you. Tighter fitting straight top block, straighter and wider lines on the thighs and a little bit more in hem opening - at least that's what it looks like on the pictures. Straight and wider can come across good for "stronger built" guys.

personally, I wouldn't care about these details too much if you like the FH's. The fit and cut of those look fine, too. And besides, the 2 denims are worlds apart - so rock both whenever you can!
