The Flat Head

[Appfaff]

One of the best 310 fits I've seen.

I didn't see a Real Japan Blues thread so I figured this would do.
Got this RJB shirt from another forum member, really impressed.

@Broark, Dude that shirt is amazing! Nice snag.

[Broark]

Thanks @GoBruins, I was a little worried that it might not fit since Flat Head and RJB shirts seem to run small, but it actually came out pretty well.
Makes me think I might buy some more of their shirts soon.

[GoBruins]

@Broark, I'm definitely going to keep an eye on RJB shirts. This might be the coolest shirt I've seen. What size are you in IH shirts?

[Broark]

@GoBruins In the UHF's I've got recently I'm a XXL, but in most tees I'm either a L or XL.

Anyone have the plate buckle belt? I have belts out the ass but I really want a plate in black.

Anyone have  pair of 3012? torn between the SE and the R&H size charts… one seems just right, the other seems too small...

Pretty sure they don't measure exactly the same way, which might explain the difference.

That said, I've had mixed experiences with Self Edge measurements.

[Jeef]

Self Edge will be much easier and cheaper and faster to do an exchange with if you do get the wrong size. There is tons of info on how much FH denim shrinks, so you should be able to know before you wash it whether or not you have the correct size…

I've purchased about half a dozen pairs of jeans from RnH, including some 3002, the measurements of all have been spot on. Also Danny is extremely helpful and knows his gear. Perhaps drop him a line.

Thanks guys - @Danny RnH  and I have already figured it out and think we got it all squared away.

Issue is probably because of a different batch of 3012 that came out when SE originally got them.  The issue was SE's waist measure said it was "bigger" than RH, and since I know RH measures the IH way, it seemed weird since I can always count on SE's waist measures to be about .25 to 1.25 on their chart than when I measure the IH way.

Anyways, all squared away.  I had some 3005 for 3+ years that I loved, but alas, need something bigger now. Love the 3XXX denim, but yes - it's quite funky with washing and trying not to shrink the crap out of them.

Looking forward to trying these out in the future!

@Appfaff , if you just wash them on hot right up front they won't shrink any more after that, promise!

These are my 3005 back from Indigo Proof, really happy they fit exactly the same and I can't even feel the darning at all when I wear them.

Thanks for the tip @grandmasterben - 3005's look Great!

[Appfaff]

It's been a while since I had some Flat Heads in rotation. Sadly, the more recent runs have been True to Tag size raw, so even a 38 in most sizes for me is out of the question for me.

After seeing that I can make a 37" waist work pre-stretch, I decided to give the 3012 a try as the Leg Opening on the 3005 is quite large in my size (heck, I had the size down in the 3005 and it was still large for me).

Anyways, here are some post wash pics. I opted for a machine wash in cool water and a hang dry followed by a warm iron.

Sizing:
Raw / Post Wash
Waist: 39 / 36.8
Frise: 12.25 / 11.5
BRise: 17.5 / 16
Thigh: 14 / 13.75
Knee: – / 10.18
Leg Opening: 8.6 / 8
Inseam: 35 / 32.3

Fit Pics:

Overall, it's an Odd Fit, but seems to works for me.

Thanks again to @Danny RnH from Rivet & Hide for the help with finding me the perfect pair.

Cheers,

Those look pretty good. What's the thigh measurement?
