The Flat Head

[bigblack]

Is the 3002 FH skinniest cut?

[Geeman]

I think D306 is slimmer but not much in it

The D306 is an international model and there is no version with Japanese domestic arcs anyway

[Geeman]

Are the JP arcs the plain ones or the blue filled ones??

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Kinda both, plain and ultra-suede.

The embroidered F-stitch is the international version.

Anyone know where I can buy a pair of 1001’s? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yep, here:

Explain please mate?

Not that clued up on TFH jeans, got a.pair when they were rumored to.be folding. To be honest the arcs are the my least favourite part....

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So the arcs that look like Levi's arcs, just with one "thing" elongated are the Japanese arcs. These came simply stitched or as a version with ultra suede inside. So plain or ultra suede.

The international version is the one you see on Rivet & Hide for example.

(Or I totally missed what was meant with plain)

[Geeman]

Nope you were spot on. Thanks for clarifying

They used to and with EMS shipping to the US again it should work. Otherwise a proxy like FromJapan isn't too expensive 

[lyraman]

I bought some Samurais a month ago and e2nd.net shipped by EMS to the USA.

You should send them an email and also translate it into Japanese for them.

They also chainstitched , accept PayPal and they have an excellent selection of FH. They’re not open every day , but they usually answer emails

Anyone have any size charts for the 1001 that they can point me to?  Trying to think about how I would potentially size these. I’ma 38 in the pioneer denim so dont know if i would be a 38 again or go tts 36

[mpukas]

I've purchased many things from 2nd on their Rakuten store front when it existed, but haven't since. Always great, friendly customer service, if a bit slow with time difference and e-mailing back and forth. 

[oomslokop]

seconding on 2nd's excellent service. just make sure u include google translation of the text in yr emails to them.

Would anyone know what sort of cotton Flat Head uses for their denim? Quite a few pages back, I believe Kiya mentioned Zimbabwe cotton in their 18oz fabric. 

What about their 16oz and 14oz denim? 

[Cold Summer]

If I remember right it's US cotton. Don't know beyond that, though.

[cause4pause]

@Cold Summerthanks, most appreciated.

My Flat Head 3005s, at about 380 days of wear. Think they've been washed over a dozen times.

In retrospect, I really wish I'd waited maybe 4-6 months before the first wash instead of washing every month. The overall color and texture looks nice, but I feel these would look better if the whiskers/honeycombs were more defined. At any rate, these are mostly my "work" jeans at this point, that I wear for dirty jobs and wash whenever. I have a pair of the Japanese domestic 3005s from about 2015 or so - which have the reinforced pocket stitching, but not the ultrasuede. When I get around to wearing those I'll wait longer before the first wash.

Flat Head is finally selling the new 3004 model, which has a longer rise and looser thigh than the 3005 but approximately the same size leg opening (around 8.5-75" on a size 32.) This sounds like a great idea to me, we need more jeans that are roomy in the top but don't have a super tapered (or super wide) hem.

[mpukas]

The 3004 looks great. Agree it is a good idea to have a cut that's roomy in the top without an aggressive taper, as has been the trend in the past few years. However, I'm not sure I'd get this cut before the 3009. 3009 appeals to me and been on my want list. 

[Maynard Friedman]

They look great @Cold Summer,is that size chart for a one-wash model?

[Cold Summer]

Judging from the short inseam length (around 32"), I'm guessing it is.

Compared to a 3009 of the same waist size, these appear to be more relaxed around the top block, with a slightly wider hem. Could be a great fit for those wanting a relaxed, high-rise fit but not the super tapered lower leg that seems to accompany that on many contemporary models of jeans.

[DeafKate]

Those look fantastic. The size charts seem to be different on the same page. The one on the left you scroll down to is a universal 81cm inseam on all sizes, but the link on the right has different inseams depending on the waist size.

[Maynard Friedman]

It seems they’re once washed:

・ 14.5oz denim (old-fashioned power loom)

・ Tapered model with deep rise

・ Iron button fly

・ Original rivet

・ Hidden iron rivet

・ Leather patch (deer leather)

・ Pocket: Single stitch

・ Decorative stitch: Cotton thread

・ One-Wash

・ Color: Blue

・ Size: 29/30/31/32/33/34/36/38

 

* The product is specially washed.

Avoid using a tumble dryer as drying with a tumble dryer may cause shrinkage and deterioration.

Everyone got their own tastes but... I think these are spot on as they are. They'd be my Sunday best / job interview / up in court jeans if they were mine.
