The Flat Head

[Giles]

Yes, somewhere.  I have lost them somewhere in the house along with a TWHRII.  I'll have another look for them tomorrow.  The fading on the S5003 is not great, I used them as a workhorse pair of jeans when I was getting them regularly filthy, so they have had a load of washes.  G

Understood and thanks for looking for 'em on my 'count.  Not after hooj fades on my denim, which is illustrated by the fact that I've been working on a pair of KMW's for the last few months which are sort of notorious for their indigo cling.  A KMW thread is forthcoming.

Word is the 5XXX denim is the antithesis of the 3XXX denim, with a more vintage-looking fade.  Thanks G

5100 - same denim as the 5003:

Compare to a 3xxx worn and washed in about the same way:

Certainly less contrasty thean the 3xxx denim.  G

Thanks for posting those pics G.  I figure most of them in that Flathead gallery belong here anyway!  Clearly no use in letting these jeans get the funk 'cause it seems the jeans and not I will be deciding how they'll fade.

Got home from work today to my package from Beatle.  I am/got excited so they've just gone into the tub for a soak from the hot tap and the only camera in the house is out of juice. So pics will be posted tomorrow or the day after at the latest.  Possibly some fit pics, straight out of the Internet's self-pic playbook.   Thanks again Beatle/Lando!

Very nice gee.  what belt it that?

Not sure, got it at a thrift store for $3 haha

Got my hemmed F380 today, i like the fit of these a LOT better than the F310… i think i am generally moving away from super slim jeans. Don't need megaFADEZZZ or anything. Much more comfortable. The left leg twists quite a bit to the right though for some reason. Oh well. Will be selling my F310 soon i guess.

From the Japan Flat Head site it looks like they do/did kids jeans. Giles, what are the chances of getting some over here? Even better, what do you think the chances are of Haraki-San making some 21oz kids jeans?

[Giles]

First question.  Yes
Second question.  No

[Beatle]

Looks like we have to settle for FH kids jeans, Simon…

[Simon]

Yep, but as second choice options go, its not a bad one.

Slimmest jeans I will ever wear:

Simon, when did you start rocking Vans AV Sk8 Low's?

I just don't understand what is so special about FH.
However I want to be sold on anything, so…
I'd be interested to hear what do FH lovers have to say about them compared to IH, Samurai or PBJ?
