          Last week in Japan I visited The Flat Head show and, as expected, was dazzled by the beauty of their custom made fabrics.

          Learning more about the dedication of the workforce which  has honed its skills over decades was truly inspiring. They are mainly elderly men and women who have focussed solely on one type of stitch and have done nothing else for the past 30 years. The pride these artisans in Japan feel at having done nothing but stitch pockets for years was refreshing and helped me understand even better why their clothes are so beautifully constructed.

          So now I have to put an order in. I'd buy the lot if money were no object. There is a great winter shirt collection and I am pretty much decided on the ones I am going for. I feel like a judge on a talent show narrowing down the options using the photos we took.

          This past long and harsh winter was not the one to be without a decent coat but I am sorted for AW13. At the show one of my favourite pieces was a duck down jacket. The white duck down is from the UK. It has red Rayon quilting and is waterproof. It has a The Flat Head label on the left arm. They size in the same way as TFH shirts. So I am ordering a 42 just like my heavy flannels.

          I am tempted to buy a few for the store. Although not set it would retail at around £650. I'd be interested in any comments or feedback. They might help me make the decision. It comes in black & navy. If anyone is interested in this jacket please send me a PM or email me.

            not sure about the look of the jacket tbh. and i´m not sure if it would sell that good. also i don´t know how fast you need to know about how much you´re going to order.
            if it was me though, i wouldn´t take the financial risc of ordering let´s say 5 of these jackets (each ~770€), just to "hope" that someone´s ordering them when you place them in stock. too risky imo!
            if i´d order some, then via "special order" only and with a ~40% deposit along with the pre-order!

            just my 0.02 though!

              Thanks, Finn. The same amount could buy a lot of their shirts so most likely to go down that route. Good to get your comments.

                Please get some wide FH shirts Danny. I'm dying to get a Native Check Workshirt, but I can't rock their tapered shirts. This past seasons green native check fabric is bananas.  I've seen the fabric in person at SelfEdge.

                  not a problem buddy. and imo selling a shirt isn´t that much of a hustle/problem. no need to be affraid of one sitting around for too long. sooner or later it will fly over the counter…with jackets that´s a different story (as you know!) 😉

                    I agree with Rafa, it might not be so easy to shift a down jacket where a customer might just opt for a cheape alternative from The North Face or Patagonia. Nobody else makes shirts like The Flat Head though and they've proven to be consistently popular.

                    And yes, Native Check is the business. Got my red one on today.

                      Thanks MikeC. You are the first to request the regular/wide silhouette of TFH shirts so again would love to hear from anyone else interested. There is a clear winner in my opinion of all the great flannels for the next season. I may add some regulars of to that order.

                            Clearly in the minority here, but I love those jackets.  If I still lived in the UK I would get one tomorrow and wear it at any opportunity!  It's been a while since I lived in the UK but I think that they are in keeping with the sort of style that is popular among what I expect RnH's customer base to be for the most part.  That said, Danny clearly you know that last part way better than I would.  I think the black version in particular would sell.  But good luck either way.

                              Thanks for all the comments. Very helpful but now ultimately academic as I've gone to town on shirts. I'll bring in a regular flannel and if it does well I'll order more in future seasons. Cheers, guys.

                                Personally I love TFH shirts and while there are plenty of down jackets on the market there's not much to compare with TFH shirting. I would have no doubt that the down jackets are top quality and impeccably crafted but it's a hefty price IMHO and I could get an Aero leather for that price. The shirts of course are super unique and there aren't too many stockists in London even that sell TFH shirts based on my internet trawls. The CW 76W for example is just beautifully unique and there's nothing to compare. Same of course with IH quality. What's seldom is wonderful!

                                      That is the new indigo hickory workshirt. It was in the order I placed today.

                                      This collection starts to arrive from September onwards.

                                      I have some photos. Let me know when you're coming up to the showroom and I'll show you.
                                      I'll be there most of next week except Monday.
