      I bought mine from self edge so I was able to try them on first so I knew what size I needed. Might be worth it for you to buy from somewhere that will accept exchanges if you don't get the size right.

        You don't remember what the 33 waist started at in terms of actual measurement by any chance?

          No clue. Tried them on and there was a little extra room in the waist so I bought them and washed them. I'm sure both self edge and rivet and hide sell these and have measurements on their sites.

              Absolutely stonking jacket and combo @zatenm ..Looks like the TFH Cafe Racer? I've hardly worn mine but need to before it gets too cold in the UK and then have an agonising wait for next year  🙂

                        Thanks! Looking forward to it @grandmasterben  [emoji106][emoji4]

                        It's a weird sizing for me too @TrickHell. The shoulders are on the large side compared to the chest (I also see that same shoulder- heavy ratio on a couple of TFH shirts I have, must be the way the brand sizes up its tops).. BUT somehow it works [emoji106][emoji106]
                        Works best / great for me over an IH shirt, medium to heavy. I think the same might apply to yours…..

                        Thank you kind Sir @Finkster

                          I measured my Schott and emailed Kiya. The 42 was his rec.

                          If it helps, mine is 42 as well and I'm usually a 38 (in IH). I tried the 40 in the shop and it was a clear no - I couldn't close it and /or lift my arms. I can do 40 if I remember well in the Buco though.. Weird sizing across [emoji53]

                              Ironhearters, some advice please.

                              I bought a pair of Flat Head denim the other day (3012) and had started the soak, shrink, wear, stretch process.

                              However to my dismay, one of the rivets has popped off, please see attached pics.

                              I'm not new to raw denim, I have experience with LVC shrink-to-fit and a few one-wash Omnigods. So to see this happen on the top button really makes me think about returning these.

                              They came from 2nd Shop on Rakuten so we'll see about how good they are about returns/exchanges but I have a feeling this may be a tricky one. For a pair of £200+ jeans this is not what I expected.

                              Advice and help please!

                                Stuff like that just happens from time to time.  Sometimes the fault just can't be detected.  Ask the retailer who sold them to you to get another pair or fix those….

                                    Yeah, I hear you both, I'm trying not be a whinger but for a pair of extremely expensive denim I was hoping for a little more robustness!

                                    I have emailed 2nd and will report back for those in a similar situation.

                                    @Giles do you still take care of FH interest in Europe? If I encounter any resistance would you be able to help?

                                      You buy off Rakuten, you get it sorted out yourself, you buy off an authorized western dealer we'll fall over ourselves to help you.  That's what we do.

                                            I appreciate that but it's not just cash as to why I'm buying from Japan.

                                            There are no retailers with my size in the UK, so it's either US or Japan, and I chose Japan.

                                            Ironically since ordering I've found a store called Rivet & Hide who stock them, Sod's Law in action.
