The Flat Head

[hectic]

The Flathead jeans are a fine product. I used to buy their 16oz variant, however since the Tripleworks have come available I feel that TW are really a superior product (in that same weight band). The attention to detail on the TW is much better than FH and I prefer sanforized anyway (I found that the FH would shrink A LOT)

The fading properties of TFH are like nothing else!!!

many people go to Flat Head when they are looking for an average weight jean that is going to fade super fast and with a ton of contrast. Similarly, Samurai is sought out for the same reasons but many people like buying samurai for the weight as well…i mean a few years ago you'd be hard-pressed to find more than maybe 2 or 3 companies that made heavy selvedge denim (IH, Samurai and Studio'd are the three that come to me right off the bat)

So Flat Head is in essence a great jean for those who seek results in a relatively short amount of time. i've seen some pairs with only a few months wear that could easily be a couple years worth of fading.

And aside from the denim, you gotta know the cut that you want. personally, i've tried on the 301s, but i love the slim cut of the 3001 wayyyy more. so if you find a great jean that fits, why worry who makes it? nah mean?

I wear my FHs when it's too hot to be wearing IH

The fading is sweet, the fit on the F380 is spot on for me, and the arcs are definitely distinctive

[daveo]

Doug, fit pics?  How do the f380 compare to your IH?

[DougNg]

The weight of the F380 is pretty substantial. Nowhere near as IH, but it's got a nice heft to it. The construction is great, although I lost one of the back pocket rivets a couple weeks ago. The fit is slimmer than the 634, but looser than the SEXIH07.

I don't think I have any pics handy, and I can't promise that I'll be able to get fit pics anytime soon (busy packing my stuff for a move). I will admit, I don't have the contrasty fading you see on most FH, I wash my jeans too often

Here's a fit pic of my F380

[dave28]

Nice fit there mate. Anyone know how many of those F380 left in stock ? New to this so excuse me if this sounds silly but Im tag 34 in levis and tag 32 in APC, going by that information would I be right in saying I need tag 34 in the F380 to fit right for most of the life of the jean, taking into account stretch and shrink ?

dave28, you need to measure the actual waist of the jeans that fit you well:

See here:

and then compare with here:

I have just had a pair of brand new etc etc 1001 in waist 32 turn up.  I know there have been a few of you looking for them…G

[ricochet]

Mine F380 size 34 stretched back to 35 now, just checked rest measurements and all as per Giles website (pre soak?). No magic fades so far, but they don’t see any hardcore wear.

Hey Giles!
Do you guys have The Flat Head loop-wheeled hoodies and shawl-collar parkas available?
Much thanks~

[Giles]

Mikecch, No sorry, bring very few TFH tops over.  The margins are just too tight for it to make sense.  G

[mikecch]

I see. Thanks anyway
