The Flat Head
-
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…

Been wearing my TFH hoodie a lot recently…
And the usual "no, the self-timer isn't set":

:-\ I could do with being just the way I am, but with a bit more income… But no, I won't change. Not sure of this is a good thing or not...
