The Flat Head
-
This may seem a bit random but I was hoping to get some advice on the fitting of the SE05BSP from the most knowledgeable people I know about jeans. I really like the way these jeans look but unfortunately they are not in stock at the SENY store and I dont feel like ordering them only to have to send them back. I own nothing from Flat head, so maybe you guys can help me out. I wear a size 31 in BB and a 30 in the 301s. Will the size 31 from flat head (waist 32 before soak) shrink down enough for me to appreciate them or not ? If this question sounds stupid just disregard it. Its just i've never had to soak a jean before so i really dont know.

Depends on what run… The first version ran small - say a tagged 32 was a real 30...
But I'm guessing it's the new run, which fits TTs, and I'd suggest a 31... Cause that 14 oz jeans really doesn't stretch as much as our beloved 21 oz IH jeans lad... Speaking from experience... Had the 05BSPs (1st run)...
Anyhow: call a SE store and listen to them. -

Anyhow: call a SE store and listen to them.I did but didnt really receive the answer I was looking for. They said it runs small like you stated, and also suggested that I try on the Superfuture collab because the cut was very similar but for some reason I dont know if I agree on that. I was also told it depends on my soaking.

Well, let's see… The BB in size 31 fit you well?.. The 301 in size 30 will stretch to a size 31... So if you buy the 31 in the BSPs it will shrink to tagged size and as I said they don't stretch much/ at all... So just do a 45 minute hotsoak (hottest water the tab gives ya), hangdry, and wear them...
Or make your life even harder and look into the Devil's Fit...

Now you are getting personal…..I designed the TWHRII.
The TW is boxier, has a back cinch and imo is nicer denim...I know, big call, but H designed that denim to my specs for max contrast with a super tight weave and he succeeded........Take a look at my pics of the TWHR01 somewhere on this thread - same denim.
The 6002 is a trimmer fit.
I like the cinch, I think gives the back a stack of personality, but it's all about personal preferences.......
I have had people in your predicament before, I sent them both and asked them to return the one they did not like as much. No TW's returned...................

Not gonna lie - I love TFH stuff just as much as IH. Just added this little gem.. love the two tone thing going on and I'm gonna like it even more when the natural starts to show its age.
…and while it has been a long winter, I'm not actually this pale ::)

Nice wallet!

I have the ring.. I like Flat head almost just as much as IH! Yep it's comfortable, I wear it everyday.. but if you can, go to 2nd and try to get a ring that isn't adjustable if that's not your thing.. Although the the Self Edge one IS nicer..
The issue with the non-adjustable rings is that sizing is a nightmare because the Japanese seem to use a sizing system which is ONLY for the Japanese. Hence why we only carry adjustable rings.
For your information… the Flat Head jewelry collection is all cast where as the Self Edge collection is all carved, detail is far better and it overall is a far better quality product, and Giles carries almost the entire collection!

I don't doubt the quality of the SE ring…I just prefer the style of the FH one. It looks chunkier and thicker and more like an actual ring (does this actually make any sense...can't seem to describe what I mean?!). The SE ring looks more like a spiral. Is this correct? Is there a difference in form or am I looking at the photos all wrong?!
