The Flat Head

Jesus your cat has a bigger house than I do!

[grandmasterben]

Perfect!

My wallet after a little use and looking much less emaciated…

Perfect burnishing.

And my jeans looking amazing, with the 3005-A on the way…

Yeah, it's huge! All 3 cats like it and use at the same time. So needs to be bigish

Love the evo on those 3005s Ben… you'll like the 3005-A, they're slower to evolve but have an amazing jade overcast and get great texture over time.

[grandmasterben]

Thanks Kyle. I love these too and I'm really excited for the 3005-a, which I got for a killer deal. I hadn't even thought of it but maybe I should enter them in the dwc… Never been in a denim competition before!

[FOXY]

Good idea!
Love my 3005-A, too - no time to break them in, yet

[Cold Summer]

Those would actually be a great pair to enter in DWC Ben, I think the 3005-A really responds well to frequent washing like you usually do.

Great stuff GMB!

[grandmasterben]

Thanks a!

So these came in…. Thinking about taking out the inner part of the arc.

Really hard not starting in these now but my current jeans are soooo good.

[mclaincausey]

That'd be a shame, some nice work went into those arcuates.

This man would approve of the arcuates:

I know it's not to everyone's liking but I really like the design of those arcs.  I think they'll look great with wear.

[Snowy]

Leave them as is for sure mate!

what's the big deal?  take it out, hahahaha

what's the A on this version stand for?

[Chris]

I'd take out the entire thing.  I think Flat Head arcs are the ugliest in the industry.

[grandmasterben]

@Chris, sacrilege!

Flat head's domestic arcs are my favorite I've seen, and the overseas ones are fine too.  But for some reason I think they're a little much with the infill.

@madmonday, the 3005-A are the 3005 cut (as you'd expect), but made with a mix of natural indigo.  I wonder how much natural indigo they used in relation to regular, and I can't wait to see how these look in a few years.  I think it's super cool that flat head used a mix because they wanted to retain their classic look… I'm sure they could've used complete natural indigo, but the jean would probably look really different than their normal ones.

I'll probably hold off on messing with the arcs because I'm not planning on wearing these too soon... I actually hate crisp jeans and want a fucked up pair.  And my 3005s are getting there

What do you think of these "arcs" chris...
