The Flat Head

Get the 1005s, they're a straight cut with about a 96 cm pre-soak inseam, and they don't shrink a lot. You can also stretch out the inseam when they're wet. Unlike other FH models, you will want to size down, the denim is stretchier than the 14.5 oz.

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.
Hi Tatmantall.
I'm 6.5, and i also have the 5bsp, mainly because i couldn't resist the ekstra long inseam. The days of walking up and down the streets of copenhagen to find a decent pair of jeans being long enough is finally over, thanks to the small people of japan :)…..Hope i'm not offending anybody.
A little (maybe) relevant info. My unsanforized denim such as IH666s and Samurai S5000VX-25oz, i was actually able to pull the inseam when damp, so it's exactly the same length as when i got them. The inseam Scrinkage was about 2 inches after two smoking hot soakes. I know it's not rocket science, but if your'e not able to pull hard enough while standing up, try this : You need a car, a towel (or some other fabric), and some flat wood. 1 :Put the damp jeans flat on the ground, wrap the towel around the upper part, and put the wood on top, laying as if you where measuring the thigh. 2: park the car with one wheel on the jeans (heaviest end depending on car model), so that only the part from where you measure the thigh is visible. 3 : exercise your back so it's warm and ready to work hard for a few explosive seconds. 4: Put your feet up against the wheel, and pull.
Well the very short info was this. When i buy jeans i don't worry about the inseam anymore, cause i'm able to pull them back to the original length.
Enjoy

amazing post thanks man! this may open up new opportunities, I am excited to try. I suppose if it does not work I can always just sell but worth a shot!

I understand the confusion
I have a few other jeans trick, e.g. if the thighs are to tight and need a little expansion.
In this case you can use a jack to lift a car with, and two pieces of wood. I did that with my sex13-23oz and it worked fine. You can also remove about 0,2-0,5 inches extra from the leg opening with the help from almost boiling water and a hair dryer.
And if you want a longer backrise, you can borrow a small plane and let the top block hang out the window and then make a loop under a rainy cloud…....
Havent tried that last one yet but it should work just fineEnjoy denim nerds

Took this jacket for myself from The Flat Head. The DJ-008 jacket is made with English White Duck down filling (90% down, 10% feathers). 100% nylon exterior & treated for added water resistance.
The inside is made of quilted rayon. reminds me of the lining of a Lewis Leathers jacket. The neck boa is made of acrylic and other details include inner ribbing, original FH zippers, and patches.
Ready for winter now. The Italians aren't going to be only stylish skiers this winter

I usually don't jump on impulse buys, but the indigo/cream houndstooth heavy flannel looks wicked nice. Damn damn damn, I should have shown restraint, but I imagine they will sell out quick. First purchase from Rivet and Hide.
-
I imagine that it will be the first of many. You won't be disappointed :).

Indeed, what a gorgeous looking shirt. The craftsmanship looks exceptional, as always with TFH. I had one of their deerskin leather shirts briefly (after the various IHAS-01s I had made didn't work for me) and it was probably the most exquisite item of clothing I ever owned. Sadly the sizing just didn't work so I had to return it. Anyway - great shirt Danny, I am sure it will be a great seller.

See this horse hide one bk? Siiiiick…
-
Stop it :). I've been looking on Rakuten for a while now, ever since I decided that the next IH collaboration leather shirt would be too much for my wallet…
-
Babyknight, just buy it already, trust me you'll love it. I loved the look of your Native Check western shirt. Are you still wearing it?
-
Hi Kyle, thanks for your note. Yes I love that Native Check western and do still wear it! One of my favorite shirts for sure.
-
Indigo / cream houndstooth arrived today. Fits well. Would have fit better if I hadn't just downed a monster burrito
Super soft brushed on the inside.
-
Damn, stop telling me how wonderful it is :(. Looks a great fit on you though :).
-
I definitely would've picked this shirt up but I can tell that the pattern is something I really like in person but I feel is a little too harsh on the eyes from far away.
-
Hey Ben, lend me the money and I'll wear it for you
( drunken joke by the way :))
