The Flat Head

What do you mean by process oriented? Like set in their ways?
Quality wise you're definitely going to be happy with both, but like I said they really do have different objectives. For instance, you're probably not going to see IH do jacquard t shirts anytime soon, since that's simply not what the brands about.

There is a way of doing things and that is the way it has to be done. There is no scope or room for personal initiative. To a great extent, that is a very Japanese thing.
G I need this done like this
TFH But that is not how we do it
G But it would be better and we would sell more if we did it like this
TFH But that is not the way we do it
G But don't you understand what I am saying?
TFH Yes, but that is not how we do it -
So, to summarise from Giles' perspective:
IH=pragmatic
TFH=dogmatic -
I couldn't help but chuckle reading that flat head conversation.
But I don't doubt it might drive you crazy!

@grandmasterben, @mclaincausey and @Giles you guys are awesome.

I own 2 flat head shirts. Literally every time I wear the one, people say " wow that's amazing, the fabric is unreal"
-
@private eyes which two shirts?

This , and another plaid (or tartan?) insanely amazing fabric .

Hold up… That's really flat head? I've never seen that shirt before.
For some reason, the fh shirt I get the most compliments on is the wabash.
Probably get more on my sun surf hula though!

yeah , the tag says "the flat head winter wear". The sad/weird thing is, I think I bought it off a member of here on ebay. The guy actually had like 12 flat head shirts for sale, all my size, but I only won one auction because I didn't know what size I wore in them. Turns out, the one I won fits perfect ,and no more are popping up on ebay since.

Cool photo Private Eyes. There are some stunning fabrics from The Flat Head. Not much in the current collection is grabbing my attention though and their sizing has been messed up this winter too. I just need to cop their chambary workshirt and I'm done!

I have specified that all my shirts are made according to previous season's measurements as opposed to the new shorter standard. This will include one of the most beautiful pale blue chambray work shirt I have ever seen coming this spring. Hope all's well out in HKG.

It's just the glory park flannels that fit way smaller right? Do the others fit smaller or just shorter? And was this intentional? I've no clue…

All FH shirts are now made a little shorter in body length

All FH shirts are now made a little shorter in body length unless otherwise requested by a retailer.

I'm really keen to get some flat head shirts but struggling to track down any in a 36. I particularly liked that indigo and white houndstooth western they did last last year, but man it seems like those things are gold dust!
