The Flat Head

[natehate]

Nice ill pm you tonight when I get home Danny

[Seul]

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.

@Bluegrass:

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!

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?

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.

That's a loaded question if there ever was one

No - I ordered the 3009s based on the measurements at self-edge, got them but they were off (smaller) by 2" in waist and inseam - didn't dare soak them.  So I returned them, now I have a credit I "have to" use (not a bad problem to have).  Not sure about Plan B. Looking for thoughts on the Ring Rings… Love my BBs and 666-18s - don't know why but I got curious about the Flat Heads, just did.
