The Flat Head

[MikeC]

Have you guys ever tried a Flat Head shirt?  They taper like crazy. I tried on a 44 western and it was unwearable around the waist, but perfect everywhere else.  Just sayin….

[Danny RnH]

Next winter season I want to bring in some 46 shirts. I got one in the HNW-52. Red & it went pretty quickly. Any 'heroically built' guys please email or pm me to let me know which styles appeal to help form some buying decisions.
We can ask them about any possibilities of a few larger sizes eg 48. Maybe with some Winter flannels. Safe bet.

I'm a Medium in IH shirts and have a sz 44 (XL) FH wabash shirt, and it's still tight around the beercellar…

I prefer my (work)shirts to be made for people who have the physique of someone who actually works… And drinks... 

[Jordan23]

I have an XL in IH and the New FH Wabash in 44.

Enjoy ya addiction!

Yo Danny I'm in that camp, 44-48 chest, all of their 2013 denim shirts for this year are pretty sweet, i had one last year in 44 or 46 and the shoulders were like 22 inches and the chest was like 20 pit to pit.  It was a joke.  It's like patterns over size 40 are just dartboard design as they have no idea of the dimensions of giants.

[Omega Man]

I have to agree with simonc.  FH sizing on some shirts seem to suit body-builders.  Shoulders are huge but chest are smaller.  Would have prefer 44-45 chest and 19-20 shoulder.

The shirts "look" awesome, but i am a giant by japanese standards - 6'7" 225.  like 0.00% chance even a 46 work for me. 

[Guest]

Pretty sure 6'7" is giant by anyone's standards.

Q

[Bluegrass]

I guess I am a f'ing giant  - just got size 38 Flat Head 3009s mailed from self edge, too small.  So can't wear TFH britches either!  Do IH shirts run bigger than FH?? Painful shopping online…

[grandmasterben]

Iron heart shirts run much larger than Flat Head ones.

[seanocono]

Bluegrass. Yes, IH shirts run larger. XXXL should fit you, no problem. Always check measurements, though.

[Giles]

@Bluegrass:

Do IH shirts run bigger than FH??

It's not just that they run larger, they are designed for normal people…...Doing a 46 or 48 in TFH will not solve the problem of fit, if you anything like a gut TFH are a no no.....

[MikeC]

^Truth.

[Bluegrass]

OK then I'm "normal" (for a giant) - i.e. no washboard abs. I measured a few shirts and looking at IHs, I could wear XXL (some) or XXXL for sure.  Good to know.  I guess I can still look at TFH pics and think about working out more, ha!

[Bluegrass]

A Flat Head question for anyone - I tried some 3009s in TS38 form self edge, and they were no where near the measures shown on the website - they said W38L38, but when I got them they were at best 36-36 - I could get them on but they'd be way too small after a soak.  So I have a credit - I see they have the LHT, SExFH collaboration with "Ring-Ring" in a 38W, pre-soak measurements shown as 38x40.  The $485 (gulp) is not such a bite since I have a credit from the return… so I'm thinking... Anyone have experience with these jeans?  Are they worth it?  Any advice on how they compare (fit) to IH BBs or 666?

[hajduk]

do u mean at u have soaked the 3009 and u will send back to SE to have a store credit?

[jacoavlu]

the ring ring collabs I really like, the denim is great, the wrangler inspired details are unique, and I really like the fit. They run large in the waist and wont shrink much until machine washed a few times. my w30 are something like 33-34 now so ask them to directly measure a pair before you buy. I can't compare to BB or 666 but generally they're a roomy top block and slim leg

[MikeC]

I think the top block construction has something to do with the waists coming up large.  They are a sick pair, if you can fit into them.  Shit don't get more limited than this one.
