The Flat Head
-
I have the exact same shirt, I absolutely love it. It instantly became my favorite shirt. The dobby stripe pattern reminds me of old-school video games.
My amazing psychic powers tell me that you bought it at VMC. They're such a cool store. I'd love to visit someday.

Somehow this beat another item ordered days before it from Japan
Cell bitch flannel by Glory Park. It's a doozy.
It is just a bit tight in the chest but otherwise perfect. So I can't wear a shirt under it, but the double brushed interior makes that a-ok.
Detail of the slack but thick brushed/double brushed fabric:

Thanks Sean–it was love at first sight on Rakuten. This is my green flannel in lieu of the amazing green IH herringboner.
-
Yeah I'll be super careful. I don't mind selling it either if I must someone would get much joy from it
-
I have the blue version, it shouldn't shrink much if you just cold wash and hang dry.
-
Thanks gmb!

Virtually all of Flat Head's shirts and tees are washed (that's what the "W" at the end of the product code means) and won't shrink at all unless perhaps you wash them in really hot water or tumble dry them. The only exceptions I can think of are the unwashed 7001 denim western shirts, and of course Flat Head's jeans.
I've owned a ton of FH shirts and tees and none of them have ever shrunk with normal wash and wear.

Just my 2cents, but agree that the chest looks quite tight… If your comfortable with the fit tho rock on buddy

Hi man glad to read. Yup from VMC, when you visit Zurich one day just hit me up. Can show you the town a bit
Mclaincausey very nice flannel, i personnally like snugger fits around chest too. As long as it does not cut my armpits its usually fine

Our by appointment workshop has been called the Savile Row of denim. I felt the need for a waistcoat to really look the part. Real Japan Blues vest & Flat Head shirt.

Very dapper :). I'll find out tomorrow…

After much trying on of shirts… Well, an hour or two :P, I decided that of all TFH and RJB shirts I'd tried, it was the houndstooth check I was going to walk away with. Nothing at all to do with the fact it was the last in the shop and therefore on sale
So, it turns out I'm a size 40 in TFH and RJB shirts. And now another way to spend horrible amounts of money has appeared
Also tried on a few of the TFH flannels, they fit my malformed body even better than IH flannels do which was a nice thing to discover.
Except for the whole, costing more thing that they do… ???
It took a massive effort of will to not buy any more... But then Danny began mentioning a flannel he's getting in stock soon. Phrases like "heaviest flannel TFH have done" and "Ivory body" were used...
Looking forward to seeing pics... Hoping that all the 40s will have been sold by the time I check the site.
And, I'm sorry to keep banging on about Danny, but he clearly has a massive passion for TFH. To the extent that he almost doesn't want to sell some items that are in his size :).

mate ,,that is a perfect shirt,,suits your proportions well,,,looking good -
MP, happy to have found another Flat Head / RJB disciple. The evangelization continues..

Thanks, it was pretty much a given that it'd fit from the moment I'd got my arm through the first sleeve… Which was a "problem" I had with all TFH shirts I tried on. Originally I'd tried on a 38 in some of the flannels but they were just a touch too tight in the chest.
I also love the MOP snaps, and especially the placement on the breast pockets.

Just don't let me near those socks again… Still can't get over the weight...

ive looked and looed and looked, and have yet to find any; however, can anyone tell me if flathead makes any straight cuts that have a post soak of 37"+ inseam? typically I wear a 30 waist in samurai and IH for reference. I really like the charactereistics of some oftheir denim but just dont like how skinny my se-5bsp look on me. They aren't too tight really, just look weird for some one as tall and long legged as me to wear such a skinny cut if that makes sense.
