The Flat Head

This shirt is amazing and was meant to be paired with the varsity.

Really like FH wabash… Have considered picking up the diamonds and dots despite already owning the 62

If I was able to fit in one, I would have pulled the trigger, already. Go for it.

had a nice chat with a fellow german forum member over loopwheeled yes or no!?
since the both of us couldn´t really tell, he asked TFH directly…today he pm´d me this:
(from Kyle "Cold Summer" on SUFU, the new translator for TFH!)
Moost of the TFH tees are loop wheeled but other ones are not, as I've discovered from translating. This information was not clearly available in English before - the THC tees are round-body but not loop wheeled. We'll have more information available soon concerning all of this.
The TD, TMV, and many other lines are loop wheeled, I think most of the v-necks are too. Part of this misunderstanding is because the translator here before me didn't know denim terminology and didn't accurately translate some stuff.
The THC series use a heavyweight cotton fabric with round-body construction, but it isn't loopwheeled. I think that past translators misunderstood the English distinction between round-body construction and loopwheeling, hence why this was unclear.
Loopwheeled: Flat Head label FLT Flat Lock, FVT, TVL, TVT, TUN; Glory Park TD, TDL, TDR, MRL, TML, FT, MR, BB; Black Mint TM, TMV, TMS, BT, SPV, POC.
Not loopwheeled: THC, TLS, TLP; Glory Park MRL, Black Mint BPS (maybe? not clear), SPT
I don't know how to tell the difference between a fabric that is and isn't loopwheeled, and it seems very few people can (if it's possible in the first place.) I'm not really sure why the THC and TLS tees don't use loopwheeled fabric, maybe because they're made with a thicker fabric (THC = Tee, Heavy Cotton) or because the loopwheel machines can't make enough fabric to meet the demand.
The THC tees cost the same as the other TFH tees, so it's not that loopwheel fabric is more expensive than the heavy cotton fabric, or better or worse quality; it's just slightly different. Personally I only wear the THC tees. Hopefully TFH is going to get this all cleared up soon.

Thanks for the post Rafa. Very interesting to know that the THC line of shirts is not loopwheeled.
