The Flat Head
-
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?

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

That's a loaded question if there ever was one

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

Thnaks for all the posts and pm's. I shall certainly start to stock 38W TFH jeans where possible (maybe up to a 40 in the 3009) . I'm not sure if they have ever been asked before to make a 48 shirt but I'll certainly ask. If possible I would order in just several popular flannels.

Thx - glad you like them - how is rear rise? I will def. ask them to measure first before I decide - I wish I had done that before I ordered the 3009s (duh).
I will look back through the FH topic and see if there are any pics. They'd be unique - something different with the left-hand denim. Be nice to have something by TFH since I for sure can't wear the shirts…

The 3009 would have been great for me, I loved the denim and the cut, but the pair I got hold of was smaller than tagged in the waist - maybe it was a rogue. And I'd for sure by a flannel if I thought it would fit… very cool, thx!

f310? 1001?
3005 needs hemming, leg opening seems to wide for my liking at the moment.
sorry about the puppy hehe -

how big was the puppy before the hot soak?
I think it was an Old English Sheepdog
8 weeks old maltese, not pure breed, reason for tan color, but love her anyway
Side show from topic hehe

Just received a pair of The Flat Head 2011 20oz from DC4 in Berlin.
http://shop.dc4.de/Men/Jeans/The-Flat-Head-2011-20-oz-Heavy-Denim-Slim::867.htmlDamn these jeans are the nuts! The fit is 'kind of' similar to the IH-666S 18oz RAW after a hot soak. The front-rise is a lot higher than my other Flat Head (F2001)..
Lovely, lovely denim… Will try and get some fit pics up soon.
