The Flat Head
-
After an initial 50 deg hand wash, my 3005's shrank 2" in the waist. Mind you they stretched back out 1-1.5" within one day of wear put on damp. Couldn't do the top button up this morning, and fully comfortable by 6pm.
At 6'1" I can't cuff or else they would be too short. Hope no more shrink in the inseam or I'm rooted!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I can get shrinkage out of the 3xxx denim for about a year…..
At how many washes?
I already see myself doing the washes just like the bathtub ritual…promises to be loads of fun.

Here's the "sculpted" look of my FH 3005's, quite looking as if I'm still wearing them…well, almost.
They did shed some blue blood!
-
Sure can. Bit tight in the waistline, but wearing them will take care of that. Just have to be careful with the first wash (es). But that's far, far in the future. First wear after bathtub ritual has to wait till my "war wounds" will have healed.

Seeing is believing: (excuse the poor lighting, wanted to avoid flash…)
and the rear view….
I love the feel of raw denim on my body, but my knee bends protest rather loudly against these particular bad boys. First full day of post-soak wear will have to wait.

Flat Head heavy flannel. Kill U.
I was thinking about getting one of those from SE on their sale.. I think you pushed me over the edge

Can anyone with both the 3009 and the 634s give me a comparison on fit and denim ? Looking for something different than my busters with more thigh room and I'm pretty sure it's between the fhs and the classic 634s.
-
Thanks a lot for the advice G, pretty sure im going to go with the classic 634s.

I'm a medium in IH and a 42 in this flannel. Do keep in mind I gave it a wash and it shrank to perfection.
I just measured the shoulders and get ~19" though, which is about 1.5" more than the shoulders on the IH shirts… Yet (as you can see in my fit pic perhaps) it doesn't feel like that nig a difference…
