      Just got my first FH tee and I think I lost part of my ear trying to squeeze my head through the neckhole 😕

          Yeah, I hate the neck holes on Flat Head tees.  Otherwise, great quality, though.

              Hey pookguy,  which T and what size did you get 44, 46?  Many of the FH Ts don't go up to 44.

                Hey Mega, I picked up an Early Works tee in 46.  A shame more designs aren't 46.  I'd get em all!  It's the perfect tee other than the hole.  The length is great.  No belly peeking out haha.

                  Decided to celebrate Nem's birthday with bathtub ritual of my new FH's …  also happily coinciding with what may well be the last dry summerly day this season here. Have the soaking wet buggers on my bod right now as I type with blue stained fingers....

                  The objects in question as they came from Aero Leather in Scotland  (I still totally "blame" Lando for calling this irresistible offer to my attention!).

                  The dry fit.

                  In flagranti in my bathtub.

                  I never even enquired, naive noob that I can sometimes be, whether this is sanforized denim or not? I expect I will be enlightened soon.

                  Now, buggers, DRY on me ASAP !!! 😞

                  Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                      Yeah, of course it does, my fits invariably seem to do that to you. Besides my taste for snug fits, this time I have the excuse that it was the largest size available in the 50% reduced offer (W 31). The only other size was 30 and I abstained from trying that. Now: do you happen to know whether this particular denim is sanforized or not?

                        Pretty sure it's unsanforized.

                        Oh, and I think Finn's man crush on you is cute.;)

                          Thanks for the info, Chris. Guess it makes the size "choice" more daring, but increases the "molding on body" effect that I so like about going through all that trouble with that tub thing for.

                          Now out into the air for speeding up the drying. Finn can cope with his crushes just fine, I believe….. 😉

                                      Funny, I'm the opposite.  I really like the fact that the FH collars are tough as nails and don't sag or lose their shape over time.

                                        Back home safe and sound, and eventually dry again. First two hours with the still really wet jeans was a challenge. Shrinkage is far less dramatic than expected. I can see what you mean, Nem, as they now are REAL tight just in the waist (beltline), but just fine on butt and thighs. But the bastards scratch now, particularly on my knee bends. Have to appeal to my masochistic side to really like it. Won't, alas, be able to wear them with a cuff I think, they did shrink noticeably in the length. I wonder what taller people than me (179 cm, or  5' 10,5") do ?

                                            Struggle, the only Flat Head that are properly long enough for me are the f380's - they come in 2" longer than the rest….
