The Flat Head
-
Thanks Kyle! I completely agree about the denim. I'm really loving how rich the color is after about two weeks wear. Also, since I hot washed it to get all the shrink out, the denim is surprisingly soft and drapes really really nicely.
I was honestly unsure of the fit because I'm not used to having denim so comfortable due to its relative looseness. It's definitely perfect though; I've realized my favorite fits are those that appear slim but really are just the denim draping in a way that makes it appear so. All in all, these are fantastic. I'm definitely going to be washing them semi-frequently so we should also see a different side of flat heads pioneer denim.

Really liking these… Measurements look good as well...

This is why I love flat heads collars.

Unparalleled collar construction.
-
For sure. What sucks though is every other collar feels sub par
I was looking into getting some Stevenson tees. Whatchu think about those? -
The collar is the only thing about Flat Head shirts that I don't like. Sure, it doesn't stretch out, but it feels like rope.
That said, I'd buy a few more if they'd start making size 44 on a consistent basis.
-
I swear I see a bunch of 44s, they're like 2000 yen more though I think. Also, have you worn them on a consistent basis? What I've found is that the collars stretch plenty, to the point where I can easily fit my fist through it, but they don't lose their shape or become wrinkly. I would honestly be pretty surprised it after stretching it still felt uncomfortable.
-
Stevenson collars at least on their white pocket tees are far worse than Iron Heart. Serious "bacon collar" even though the packaging boasts of their collar construction.
-
A lot of the 44s available on Rakuten are "Wide body", which is basically a size 44 in length and a size 46 in width. Not really what I'm looking for. As for the collar, I haven't noticed any improvement over time. I have an old Self Edge collab that I've worn and washed dozens of times and it still nearly rips my ears off every time I pull it over my head. I had an old Glory Park model with a standard style collar that was much more comfortable, but it was a 42 and I'm just too big to wear that size.
-
I have a Glory Park with a looser collar, but still superior to all other makers.
-
Yep, flat head definitely nails collars. And putting them on almost rips my ears off too but after that it's smooth sailing.
-
42 in the THC series (the ones you usually see) which imo corresponds roughly to a medium. The TM series runs like a size smaller and has a fabric that's feels softer and more stretchy than the THC, but is still substantial. I think the TD series runs generally the same (I'm a 42) but might be a tiny tiny tiny bit smaller. Its fabric is a little lighter imo with a collar that is not as heavy duty as the THC.
If I had to rank materials it'd probably be THC and TM tied, and then TD.

Update on flat heads after 3 weeks wear…still loving them!
-
^^ Nice! That belt is pretty badass too
-
Looking great all around Ben
-
Thanks guys! And yep, I really love the belt. It definitely works well with the higher rise and relatively looser fit of these jeans…
