The Flat Head
-
I wouldn't change a thing, that ox-blood worked out really well.
-
Yeah Ben I like the reddish brown cordovan FH currently uses way more than the old version (which wasn't natural like you'd associate with veg-tan cowhide wallets but a dyed color. I don't think anyone offers a true "natural" cordovan color.) So personally I think your wallet turned out perfectly.
-
Interesting, I never thought of that. Horween's Whiskey looks sort of natural, so I suppose that's the closest from that tannery at least.

Flat head, htc (pimped with flat head buckle), and more flat head!
-
The color on those jeans is awesome. Really beginning to pop! The belt is no slouch either. Big fan!
-
Oh yeah, they're looking damn good! Will try to get some better shots of it and my type 2 soon!
-
Nice work Ben. What size do you take in the 3005? If you wouldn't mind, some measurements BIG style of your pair after a few washes would be grand.

Wow great color FH @grandmasterben !
-
Should've washed it more man! You could have something crazy nice by this point.
Mine's looking really good too, shows most of the wear on the elbows/arms.

The jacket is looking good already but a thorough wash will really bring out the colour and take it to the next level.
I haven't been able to wear my Type II as much as I'd hoped because the weather here has already hit mid to high teens temperature wise.

I've got a 33!
I washed it yesterday and it's stretched to the point where I feel they end up at.
Waist: 33
Front rise: 11.25"
Back rise: 15.75"
Thigh: 12.5"
Hem: 9"My recommendation is to get your the waist you want them to end up at and they will most likely fit anyone in the thighs. This will give you a perfect fitted loose fit. If you want a slouchy super comfy for you can go up a size, like Tyler's from self edge.
You def want the 3005 or 3003 (even though I've never seen a fit pic), you know you want some flat head jeans that fit
In fact. I like the cut so much I'll try and hunt down the 3005-A next!
-
Thanks a lot for those measurements Ben. I think I would be a size 32 in the 3005 (which is the same as my old 3001) and you're right, that's the model I'd choose. I'd thought that the rise would be lower than what you've listed, which had held me back. Maybe one day… !

For anyone not on superfuture, here's my type 2 jacket after 3 months and about 3 or 4 washes!
-
Looks great Ben!
two small repairs I made before I give this baby it's first wash.
