Flat Head Jeans and Shirts

[kiya]

Kiya -

I know that the mustard/brown houndstooth's coming soon...

Are there any other colors on the horizon?

No, only the mustard/brown... and a small restock of the rest of the colors.

[grilled cheese]

I've actually found that the chambray shirts shrink far more than the houndstooths. But I just throw mine in the wash anyway, just avoid the dryer and you should be good.

that's good info...

Thanks.

what FH fit would be in between the 66 and 55 cut, similar to let's say the dj-501xx or a RR without bootcut or IH 634's you know, regular straight, but a little relaxed (I think the f380 is about that fit but I'm afraid the hem is just not wide enough to my liking, I'm looking for a minimum hem width of let's say 22.5-23cm as I have big feet)

also, is there an alternative to the f380 fit with no backpocket stitching and 'normal' shaped pockets?

[guiltybyassociation]

my brother got me the black chambray shirt for christmas. it's so nice... the attention to detail is nuts.

[kiya]

Tiro, get the F380.

It's Flat Head's version of a slightly slimmed down 1966.

The fit is spot on after a soak.

Flat head should make you a run of shirts in a 46!

Chambray and Houndstooth would be choice.

I didn't notice the pocket shapes until you mentioned them. I don't think they're that bad though.

And if you wash those shirts by hand, wouldn't the shrinkage be less? The contact with water would be far shorter, I guess. My black chambray and houndstooth shirts are already tight enough in the belly area....

generally true. anything i don't want to shrink i wash by hand and hang dry.

Thanks.

And I should learn to quote properly....

actually, I was thinking, slightly more relaxed then 1966, maybe sizing one up is a good idea, tho they don't make a 35

is the f380 fit still available with normal pockets?

[beatle]

Tiro - fo da last time - try to buy ur true waist....33 F380 would be perfect for ya...

Just got my Flat Head Houndstooth from the Supermarket. I've worn it 3 times in the past 4 days, so for those who don't own one, I definitely would recommend picking one up.

I'm a little curious as to how everyone is washing them. With how much I see myself wearing it, I'd be washing it maybe twice a week. Is everyone washing it every once in awhile or getting it dry cleaned, or any special procedures? I know the quality is unbeatable, but I don't want to "wear it out" by over washing/drying.

Secondly, I can't decide whether I want a chambray or flannel or another houndstooth. Damn you Flat Head.

I have a flathead black and white houndstooth myself and wash it maybe once a week.. i dont know if this is just me, but i noticed the black is starting to look dull and not as black as it used to be.. but then again, this is to be expected from black fabric.

sexfh mustard brown houndstooth sz 36

[SLAB]

looks great Billiamphan!

[fhunkit]

Could anyone give me a comparison between Nudie Slim jim / Regular Ralf ( Both I wear 32.. I can wear em low.. how i like it) and a Flathead 1005? Can't seem to find good comparisons or measurements.. Maybe I could just take my original size? or a 33 because of the hot soak shrinkage?

Help would be appreciated.

[albeeeezy]

Billiamphan, great fit on that Houndstooth. I was thinking of picking one up myself. J/w, how tall and heavy are you?

Thanks bro. I'm 5"10 150ish, I have pretty broad shoulders and the size 36 shirt fits very slim on me. I'm actually trying to sell it to get a 38. Pm me if you are interested in it.

[albeeeezy]

Thanks billamphan! I hope it fits me.. I'm 5'6 115 pounds.

If you're local and bought it from Self Edge bring it back and we'll repair it for free, if not just go to a decent local tailor and they'll be able to do a simple stitch repair (no patch) on it pretty quickly.
