The Flat Head
-
That's a shame. I was hoping for red…
-
What do you guys use a bandana for? I think it looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure if it would serve a purpose for me….
I posted these on sufu, but for any who aren't active on that side of the internet:
And the fit… still as stoked as I was when I first got them
-
Thanks Sean! I really like how they look now as well, but honestly my reason for picking these up was to basically recreate the 3001 world tours from a few years ago.
-
What a classic pair those tour jeans turned out to be. Basic recipe of daily wear and monthly washing is not a bad way to go about things although I like a little more contrast and I don't get my jeans dirty enough in a month to really warrant the wash.
-
Ben, those are coming along great. Fit looks perfect IMO. Can't wait to see what the next update brings.
-
Good god aren't those fairly new? Nice work.
-
I think I got them right before November…. so not super new. I have been wearing them every day though.
-
That's still pretty rapid fading it seems, though I haven't owned a pair of FH yet. Which cut is that?
-
No I meant GMB

Ben has been washing his jeans frequently, so they look pretty different from the usual ''six months, one hot soak'' Flat Head that you see a lot of. In fact, most of TFH's showcase faded pairs that they have in their promo materials and in their shops are heavily-washed pairs. The denim really holds onto its indigo.

These are the 3009s, which are a perfect mix of classic and modern for me. If I didn't have these, I would definitely have gone for the 3005s, but as I don't wear boots these are the better choice for me. Echoing sm, imo these hold their indigo well. A real quality pair all around for sure.
-
I thought either 09 or 05. Yeah compared to my SGs, which are months older than those but only soaked twice and washed twice, those are pretty faded.
-
I do too, the vintage shade and fade from more frequent washing versus the typical high contrast I've seen on FH is a welcome change. It looks like whatever you do to the 3xxx it just looks good.

Here's an update on my SKB-70 horsehide boots, after I cleaned and conditioned them today. The color's changed to a really nice red-brown, I'm really happy with how these are coming along.
New, back in November last year:
And today:
