      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  🙂

        Nice, Ben! Great fit (and cool shirts).

        Your pair is in my favorite stage of denim's life cycle. Broken in, with some subtle contrast and fades, but nothing extreme.

          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.

                    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?

                            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.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  ^Of course. I should have known you were on top of it.

                                  Again, gmb, I really like that pair. A true testament to the denim, and how actually washing your jeans produces fantastic results. Bravo.

                                    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.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      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:

                                            The 42 can be smaller than you'd expect. Nem has a 44 for sale here I think. I had to get a 44 and shrink it. I'm a 40 in American and usually a 42 in Japanese. Good luck in your search it is a terrific shirt.

                                            Think it, be it.
