The Flat Head 3001

[stuntastic]

Im soaking my Samurai 710s right now. Gonna pull em out at 3.

I got the Flat Head 3001, the ones you 'mos got.

KINDA wanna get a size smaller... Weird eh, but iono. I'll see wat happens later on. I dont need anymore fuckin jeans.

[knucks]

eh something about that pocket stitching throws me off

[sidneylo]

The waist on mines has stretched a fair amount, I'm going to warm soak them for 2 hours and see where it makes me end up. Death by denim? Dun dun dun...

Yeah? The waist on mine shrunk, unlike yours. I'm loving the post soak right now. Tiny bit damp but my powerbook is drying my lap.... no homo.

You don't need to size down. You don't. Please, for my sake, don't size down. :eek:

Post-soak

I didn't do comprehensive measurements, just the basics. I was only looking forward to shortening the inseam.

After a 2 hour lukewarm soak, it was sun-dried in 59 degree shade/sun with a bit of wind--turned over on each side every twenty minutes or so until it stopped dripping. Light blow dry with a bit of heat and cold air switched back and forth until comfortable to wear.

Inseam: 35" (87.5cm) - 2" (5cm) difference

Waist: 28.5" (71cm) - 1.5" (3.75cm) difference

Hem: 7.2" (18cm) - 0.3" (0.75cm) difference

Overall, the stack is falling less boxy, and it's slimmer throughout, especially on the top. The legs slimmed down.

Pre-soak

29 x 36 (actual waist x inseam is 30 x 37)

Soak

Jeans are darker due to water retention.

Denim sales person should not ever utter these words!

:X

Sidney, you know you wanna see them smaller... SMALLER...

Jermy, how does the waist/thigh feel?

[jaspar]

post-soak fit looks dope.

Does anyone have any experience with any other styles outside the 3001? I like the look of both the 3007 and BJ-1, but wondered what the difference was...

[wild_whiskey]

sidney thanks for the inspiration on my next pair of jeans. They look fantastic. Hope they fit me as well as they fit you.

[kiya]

i'm loving my 3001's.. they were the first jeans i've seen in months that made me take off my Iron Heart 634S...

i'm curious about this, too. isn't the 3001 the zip fly model? nobody tried the 3008s?

the 3008 is new, and considering almost no one had or even liked flat head til like this saturday, I think it's safe to say that no one has them.

I've been thinking of getting the 3008s for a while now, but I reaaaally shouldn't right now.

Anyway, right now it looks like the 3008 or Denime Tokyo will be my next jeans to break in, both are 66 models which is my favourite.

Feel free to buy a pair in size 29 so I can see how they look on you(me) ^^

That is kinda funny how it blew up. I remember talking to you a while ago about my 3001's. I've started wearing them a lot more recently. They really are nice jeans .

Yeah, they look really nice. Sometimes I wish I would've gotten a pair of those instead of my sd103s. Post pics of your progress later on!

Yeah. Jantastic said something about a baggier cut that had the button fly... perhaps that's the 3008? I don't know if SE has it in stock, but I want to assume since Jantastic mentioned it at the party...hmm.

By the way, the post soak day 2 on this is amazing. Slept in 'em, and now they're not as rigid as before... starting to feel super comfortable with the fit.

you dirty dirty man. but i can't complain because i'm relying on your info, too.

here's the 3008s on the bears' site:

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bears/theflathead-3008/

they're supposed to be slim but not as skinny as the 3001s. was just curious if there were people who had tried them on yet. the 3001s are looking great for you guys, though.

[sycamore no more]

I tried on the 3008. They are like a slim straight jean. The 3001 is a little slimmer though. I soaked the waist in hot water for an hour and it shrunk back down. After about an hour wearing it, it stretched out to its normal size again. I wish it was a little more snug in the waist though, I don't like looser jeans. :-(

Any Thoughts or advice considering which jeans to choose between those two? I´m looking for a slimmer jean and find these two looking real nice. I particularly like the backpocket stitching of the s710 and I reaaly like the fit of the 3001 from what I seen on pictures from here.

The 3001 has more structured denim and will probably have a great verticle fade. Although I haven't washed them yet the thigh area is starting to look pretty good and I have high hopes for these.That said the 710 has IMO, a better fit and better construction, No hidden rivets though. Higher rise on the 710 and a slight taper.

Get both...

Theyre both really nice.

I too like the back pocket stitching on the 710s. The 3001 run slimmer than the 710s.

[sidneylo]

The sides of the stacking on my 3001's (left leg) are fading like crazy at the creases--it's only been two weeks tops. Too much friction from the stack I would assume. I hope it doesn't turn out uneven and ugly.

[moondog]

so if im 6'1 with long legs, and wear a size 27 in apc new standards amd size 29 5010xx skulls, i should get the size 29 3001's?

any advice would be GREAT!

Get your normal size.

[chronoaug]

How much are these?

[youngluc]

[alleyooptroop]

bravo youngluc! looks perfect. could you give the deets on your soak process? temp? time? also pre and post measurements if you have them. i've got a pair of 3001's waiting for a soak. i want them to fit pretty much the same.

[youngluc]

um i forgot to measure them before, but the inseam shrunk to about 34" and the waist stayed around the same. i did it in cold for about 5 hours or so and let them dry over night in my basement, did a little bit of blow drying on the pockets and such before i wore them aroudn the house for a few hours

[alleyooptroop]

do you feel like the legs shrunk down at all? what size are they?

[youngluc]

they're 32x36

the legs shrunk down quite a bit.

thats the only pre-soak pic taht you can really see much in, they were definitely not tight at all in the legs or ass, and now they fit a lot better.

[aubrgene]

youngluc- I am interested in Flatheads 5001. I noticed that your jeans has the red tag and arcurates and would like a pair with it. Where did you purchase your jeans? I want one! Thanks:-)

[sidneylo]

Youngluc you stealing my sexy FH post-soak poses!!!! Hahaha. It's looking real good. I only cold soaked mine for 2 hours 'cause I knew Jerm's shrink to a 34" as well. Mine only went to about 35.25"

I'm telling you, post-soak got the jeans hugging your curves in all the right places. Watch out though, they will bleed for months on end.

[alleyooptroop]

yo sidney- how tall are you? i'm only 5'5" so i'll probably have to get mine hemmed even after a soak.
