The Flat Head
-
I have 6 FH workshirts and 5 of them have shrunk further with a 40C wash, despite all of them being 'one-wash'. This includes a wabash workshirt from 2011. The 6th has not been washed yet although I expect similar results.
-
Yeah… I generally call bull on when things are one-washed and no further shrinkage is claimed. I'm sure that if you cold wash and line dry nothing will happen but in my experience with almost all clothing a hot wash and/or dry will always tighten things up.
-
I got the Red Flathead Winter Flannel from SE last year, hoping it would shrink up a little… hot wash and dry and zero shrinkage
-
None of my FH shirts or tees have ever shrunk any at all with cold washing and air drying. Almost all of the shirts (with just a few exceptions, like the unwashed 7001) are one wash and shouldn't shrink any more with normal use. If you use a dryer or hot wash, though, I guess it might shrink a little.
The "W" at the end of a product's name means that it's been washed, by the way.

Just came in…. Wow this shirt is nice. Might be my new favorite....sleeves aren't too long like from what I remembered. The cuff opening is definitely very large but that can always be fixed with a new/moved button.
-
I don't like how huge the cuffs are, I may move that button too. My sleeves being overly long would be manageable with human-sized cuffs.
-
Yeah I might as well. I think it'd make a big difference in how the cuff sits.
-
Quick fit pic…. I kind of take back how I said I thought it fit strangely. I think it'll look even better (less rigid) as it gets some more wear
-
A hot wash did wonders for the fabric in my case. Looks great! The buttons look way cooler as the paint flecks off the steel; I'd prefer them unpainted in fact.

Finn, the (old) TFH Wabash is the only FH Shirt that works on me…perfctly. A 44 would be your perfect fit, trust me.

Copped the Flat Head down coat at Self Edge. This thing is a beast.
-
It does look super sick. The one that's deerskin instead of nylon is even gnarlier though….at like 2k. I wonder if anyone buys that shit.... So extravagant
-
The jacket looks great! I'm wearing mine right now, actually. This jacket was expensive but well worth it, it will probably go to the grave with me. I seriously doubt you can find a better down jacket than this.

Thanks mark! New rjb shirt for a steal….
Flat head and it's sister brands are definitely the ones for me….I find myself decked out on the daily.
