The Flat Head

[Sugar Mountain]

Soak with agitation to ensure the get the shrinkage out. Flat Head denim is super dark so you won't lose colour by doing this.

I wont soak them again for a while as I change trousers almost everyday and have too much denim lying around to give some love too. I am aware how flathead denim behaves. thx a lot guys

That was more for Clint's benefit than yours, David.

[davito]

Oops since you quoted feedbacks to my fit i thought you adressed it to me as well. Easy man thx senhor and sorry Clint

[SpaceGnome]

great fit.

Thanks for the cut tips davito / Shoreman. I've had a pair of flatheads on my to pick up list for a few years. Will pay more attention to the 3009 cut to try for a similar sillouette on my next purchase, whichever the brand may be.

@davito, I've been in love with the '47 cut for a LONG time, maybe it's time to come forwards to the '60s

[davito]

Nice Snowy mate you do already have a 60's cut with your 634 which is pretty much similar to the 3009.

[Snowy]

Cheers davito, appreciate the info, which makes me even more envious of how your new 3009's fit

[MikeC]

Love the 60's fit.

Does anyone have any direct experience with the sizing of Flat Head sneakers?  I'm a UK 8 in Converse Chuck Taylors and trying to figure out how to size these suckers.

Thanks in advance!

[Jordan23]

IIRC Paula owns a pair of them.

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Giles]

Well recalled.  Paula has (at least) 2 pairs.  I'll point her to this post…..

[Qinhan]

Thanks guys.  Actually I'd remembered that Paula had these and had already PM'ed her but she was waiting until G came back before giving any advice on sizing.  In the meantime, I thought I'd open this question to others in the forum.

Mine are marked inside as size 6, and they're a little on the large side.  My usual size is UK ladies' size 5, European size 38.  Does this help at all?
