The Flat Head
-
Hey @Danny RnH is the shirt exclusive to you? Also, are you getting it with the newer shorter lengths for their shirts or specifying longer lengths?
-
@grandmasterben No, this shirt is from the AW15 collection and available to all retailers.
Last year when i was told the shirts would become shorter I was worried that they might be too short. TFH agreed to make mine to the original lengths. However, this delayed their production considerably. I've since found that the length differential is so negligible it's not worth the delay so sticking with the new standard length for future orders.

Twism those would be a good fit if they were sanforized… Don't have any experience with 8002 but I'd bet that should you ever want to wash them they will be too small.
-
@demonito no not really.
Btw guys, Ed (Edmond) on sufu might try and get a flat head contest going. We're thinking either the 3005/3009 (Straight/straight-tapered) cut with RJB's "new" zimbabwe denim that first came out with the sexfhxrjb15.
These would be a legendary pair of jeans… show enthusiasm on sufu if you're interested!

That would be crazy. I have the sexfhxrjb and that denim is great. It was so sharp post shrink I had abrasions behind my knees. It is a beautiful turquoise blue now and is soft as a kitten.

That's such good news, I spotted they were making the blue and ivory through 2nd and was going to ask if you were getting any in. Money is tight at the moment with a wedding to pay for but this is definitely going to be one purchase that makes the cut.

So I hot soaked my TFH 8002 18oz last night figuring I would give them to my son if they shrank as much as 3002's do. Well lucky for me they didn't shrink close to as much and they fit almost exactly as I would have liked. The rear rise is a tiny bit shorter than I like and the hem is slightly wider.
Pre Post
Hem - 8.25" 7.75"
Knee - 9" 8.5"
Thigh - 13.125 12.75"
Waist - 37" 35.25"
Inseam - 36" 33.5"
Sorry didn't get rises for soak.
In the end, I am very happy with them. -
Nailed the fit on the 8002's @twism_23 .

@steelworker @el padre @4c thanks

I haven't worn my SExFHxRJB for a while so I wore them today for chores and while painting my garage. I forgot how good that Flathead/RJB denim is and how turquoise-blue they are. This pair is a little bit slim for my taste now, but I like them all the same.

Hi Flat Headers, I wonder if someone can school me on the level of shrinkage I can expect on a pair of 3012s?
They are the ones I want but am unsure of sizing. I need a 32, so should I grab a 32 knowing it will shrink about 1'' to 1.5'' and wait for stretch?
Anyone with experience with this fit and/or denim?
