The Flat Head

Quite interesting read over at Heddels about The Flat Head. It's very interesting that Kobayashi-san has so many different TFH labels by now.

@Appfaff if I can ask, what size did you go for in TFH t-shirts? I bought a standard 44 today and it fits well though across the chest and underarms are more fitted than I'm used to. The 46 was massive though. DC4 have a special R series that is wider in the top block and I might order one to see how it compares.

Hey man, the blue one above is a standard 44 - I wear an XL-XXL in IH Ts (1610/1720).

Thanks mate. Fits about the same as mine. I prefer a heavier shirt than any of the Merz B I've tried how does TFH sizing compare to IH? I'm eyeing up a few IH but not sure whether to go xl or xxl depending on colour etc

Having now bought 2 TFH classic tees size 44, one with print, one without, I can confidently say they are the perfect tee for my requirements. Pics to follow hopefully.

anyone know if the difference between a regular sized tee or Wide version of the tee is very noticeable? I suspect only the pit to pit dimensions to be affected?

Glad you like them! I think the XL in the IHT-1610 fits more similar to the sz 44 TFH heads tees, although the IH are a bit shorter and snigger around the midsection. Most of mine are XXL and are rather loose around the waist.

Yes, is quite noticeable. I bought a wide version once by mistake and it was almost like wearing the next size up.

@SLAB I agree with Chris. There are 3 TFH tee fits that I'm aware of, the 'R' size made exclusively for DC4 in Europe. They are supposed to be slightly broader in the shoulders and chest, the standard 44/XL type fit which is what I wear. I find chest, waist, and length to be perfect. Finally there is the slim fit which has a slight rapper to the waist. I have tried these in size 44/XL and the rapper really noticed and was not good for me. You would have to be of a younger or slimmer build for this cut to suit in my opinion.
Standard fit is great, it doesn't have side seems like some larger loopwheel tees, it doesn't flair out at the waist/opening, which some other brands do. They are worth the extra money I think. I hope that helps?

@Dion Thanks. It's a shame they've started to disintegrate just before they started to look good.

Just picked up this stellar pair of The Flat Head 3209Z 20oz One Wash Selvage Denim, size 36, bit tight on the waist but already stretching out after a couple of hours of wear.
These jeans are very heavy weight, feel great, Filthy is correct, not many jeans compare to IH when it comes to heavy weight jeans, but the Flat Head 20 ounce jeans weigh a ton, feel very thick and tough, but the fit is perfect, my second pair of Flat Heads (other pair are the The FlatHead K015, woven with Kevlar) and these are very nice jeans, love the solid blue stitching on the back.
Here's a pic of both, just cutting and pasting seller pics:

Looks like they retained the weave characteristic I really like about TFH at this heavier weight. They have a very distinctive slub. Enjoy!
