The Flat Head
-
Ah man, those are perfect. Exactly how the 3005 should look!
I'm just afraid that once washed I'll be tempted to wear them and it'll slow down my progress of my regular 3005.
No clue how some people (looking at you Foxy ;)) don't go crazy from having an amazing denim stash.
Thanks sf, straight cuts are where it's at! I think you should look into the 105bsp if you want more rjb denim. Kyle is really skinny and his were perfect!

I'm looking to buy a pair of Flat Head 3002.
What are your experiences with shrinkage from those. Could it really be 1,5 inches in the waist and 3 in the length?
How much do you reckon the waist will stretch back out?

Flat heads shrink basically a whole size. 3" in length and 1.5" is exactly what you'll get if you wash them, and they'll go back to presoak very easily in the waist and give some in the thighs.
My recommendation is to get your jeans, wash them in hot water, and wear them for 3 or 4 days. If they don't fit then how you want them too they're not really ever going to be comfortable

Hi Michael
My experience with 3002s, I've recently got myself a pair, is as follows.
I went for the 32, I'm about a 32.5 waist in reality. Pre soak it took a couple of attempts to close the top button. I'm not sure if that was the stiffness. They feel a fair bit heavier than 14.5oz in my opinion and regularly wear up to 21oz (SExIH01, RHxIH666 and UB121). I did the whole bathtub ritual, wearing them in a hot bath for 30 mins and wearing them until slightly damp. I found they stretched out to tag size on the waist pretty much from the first wear, I wouldn't be too concerned about the additional shrinkage. They fit a little snugger than my 1001 in the same size but nothing drastic. I've added a few fit pics and my bathtub ritual!

Oh and by the way LOVE them…..oh and Rivet and Hide just got a full restock on them last week, if you're not experienced with them at RnH, I can highly recommend them, they're great!

If the left pics are presoak, I think you'll be in trouble when you wash.

@grandmasterben the left is pre soak the right is post soak. I'm the same size in my 1001 and had no trouble but I suppose it remains to be seen. So far so good but it's s all a learning curve.
EDIT: top split screen pic is pre soak one side and post soak the other.

Good luck!
