The Flat Head

[Dion]

Yeah, so is the price :'(.

If you have ever coveted Real Japan Blues incredible mid-weight 14 oz left hand twill denim made with Zimbabwe cotton that fades like nothing else, and like a slim tapered mid-rise fit with subtle details such as indigo arcuates on the back pockets, then look out for our collaboration jean which we launch next week.

Real Japan Blues is the sister company of T****he Flat Head. It is a brand that obsesses over every detail of style and quality in equal measure.

Gave my 3012 a hot two hours soak and lost immediately 2 inches in length, everything else stretched back and even beyond. The Pioneer Denim is incredible!

@Dion, I'm looking at the FH 3012 denim too. I don't suppose you took any raw and washed measurements that you could share? I find the rise of my 3002 a touch too low and constantly find myself pulling the jeans up even when belted up.

@C64 My pre-soak meausurements are on point with the ones provided by Rivet & Hide and Self Edge (I can't find where I noted mine but they're exactly the same):

Mine are a tag 38 and I remember a 2 inches shrinkage in length (there should be more in the future) and ~1 inch in waist after the first hot soak, whereas the waist stretched back quickly and even beyond with wear. If you're looking for some TFH jeans with a higher rise / a roomier top block and a smaller leg opening the 3012 is a very good choice.

[C64]

Thanks for replying Dion, I'll have to pop down to RnH at some point to take a look at them. Do you find the upper thigh to knee roomy after shrinking i.e. you can pinch some denim or is it snug?

[Dion]

Trying them on prior to pulling the trigger is the best you can do. I've found the thighs to be very generous, I can definitely pinch some of the fabric.

Does anyone have any experience with TFH's 3009? I didn't like the 3012 fit in the end and think the 3009 might work better. How does it compare to IH's fits (more 666 or 634)?

I have a pair of 34W 36L one wash TFH 3009 fit jeans that I can confirm are more 634 than 666

Anybody happen to have a Flat Head flannel or any other shirt from them in size 48 and can provide measurements IH-style?

[Dion]

Thanks, den1mhead!

Both are loosely based on a Levis' 66 501

Thank you, @den1mhead & Giles!

As a consequence of marathon training, I can now get into my 5 year old pair of TFH 3009 one wash jeans;

[Danny RnH]

We just released our new relaxed tapered collaboration with Real Japan Blues x The Flat Head in the RJB 14 oz left hand twill Zimbabwe cotton

We also restocked the RFR-022 Super Slim that uses the same denim. This is my pair after around 200 wears.

[xtcclassic]

Wow, that denim looks amazing. 

[BloodnThunder]

Adding these to my DWC shortlist.
