The Flat Head

[DrPat]

Unfortunately Flat Head shirts fit me poorly.  The shoulders are too wide for me.  If I try to size down then the stomach area is too tight.  I really wish this wasn't the case since I love many of the patterns.

Hey giles,

The flat-head.co.uk gallery pictures are from your pairs, arent they? i feel like they probably are because they are all rather long with not much stacking and the knees and thighs are super duper faded while the combs arent razor sharp. just wondering, but i think i'm on to something here. lol

[Giles]

Well sussed!

[deadendpro]

haha, people should pay attention when they read forums, they'd be suprised how much they can discover on their own. lol… i think i'm going to go try my hand at the Giles denim quiz of your collection and see how many i can get right. probably not t-shirt many, but its worth a shot.

[Giles]

Good luck.  There's some really tricky stuff in there…G

Hey Giles,
i was peeping sufu and there is a lot of talk about the 3001 being/not-being discontinued. there are some, like myself, who were told that the 3001/f310 are no longer going to be in production. while at the same time, someone on sufu posted links to rakuten websites with 'new' 3001's that have similar arcs to the original flat head arcs, except they do not intersect with the two pointed half diamonds, which to me somewhat gets around the levi's lawsuit because they were very specific. anyways, any more info on this would be very helpful. thanks

[Giles]

F series discontinued. 3xxx and 1xxx still being made…G

[deadendpro]

^ahhhhhhhh… totally got it now. thanks Giles

[Giles]

That's fine Dead.  The Pimp.

[deadendpro]

I think he was using that as his name dog. Usually he responds to me and ends with ..G. And I would not think this different, except he used The Pimp instead of ..G; I believe its because I answered your question and refered to him in that way. Just what I'm thinking…

Giles,
Do ever order in odd-ball, non-stocked Flat Head stuff for people?

[Giles]

Can do, but the way TFH work is that they manufacture seasonally.  So the retailers have to decide what they need in advance.  End result is if I dont't pre-order, the likelyhood is that it won't be in stock.  G

Yep, I was just trying to be funny…G

[deadendpro]

hahahahaha, i know whats up. i was just mentioning this earlier in the thread. haha, being aware of everything one reads! thats wassup. would you happen to have any size 33's with arcs and tab from back in the day Giles? i know i have the 2004s to work on, but i am in the mood to be inquisitive. hahaha.

[Giles]

Nope, only 28's and 42's left in the old arc 'n tab version…G

[deadendpro]

i am quite relieved to hear that. any specials on random shirts hanging around Giles? size 44??? lol

[Giles]

44 absolutely the hardest size to get from TFH.  And if they had any hanging around, I'd be wearing them

Next time I am over there, I will try and get permission (I managed it once), to go through the specials and goodie room.  I came out laden

[deadendpro]

hahahhaa, i can imagine. No worries though, again, quite happy that it came up empty. lol.

[deadendpro]

hey giles, FH type 2 jackets are one washed, right? (well, the ones you currently carry)  i am wondering how crazy they are washed, is it similar to Sugarcane typed washed?  cause those take a pounding i hear.

[Giles]

Yep, one washed.  Soft and dark, but obviously washed.  Everyone who has seen a Flat Head TII and the TWHRII side by size has taken the TWHRII.  BUT, the TWHRI1 has a cinch back which some people are not so keen on..G
