The Flat Head

Oh also @Manticore , not sure how long your arms are, but I would say the strangest quirk of these jackets is how short the sleeves are; especially after a few weeks once the beautiful creasing has happened all up the sleeve.On my XXL when I bend my elbow I have about an inch and a half of wrist on view. I’ll upload an image. Doesn’t bother me but I think the XL on my arm might’ve looked a bit silly.
-
Thanks @Aries that might be an issue since I have fairly long arms. The XL sleeve measurements appear 1.75 inches shorter than my XL IHJ-35 and 1 inch shorter than the 9L Sky Valley. Once they arrive I’ll check in with Danny again on all the measurements.

I haven't seen this talked about on here, so here it goes:

My Flathead Rider and Racer jackets have been worn quite a lot these past few months, thought whilst I have a decent camera in my hands I'd snap some pics.
First 3 pics are of the Rider, next 3 are of the racer. Stitching is immaculate throughout, as you might expect.
I have to say, even for Shinki leather, the Rider leather is on some other planet.
The extra "greasing" process Flathead put this one through (if anyone speaks Japanese - https://www.flat-head.com/items/srj-07c/ ) has resulted in just the juiciest leather I've ever handled, and I've been to Tokyo and handled, bought and worn tonnes of Shinki.
The Racer leather is also gorgeous; a much more familiar Shinki kind of leather for those who've owned any.

I really like that combo @twin .

The legend [mention]Clint_D [/mention] hooked it up on this Old School The Flat Head polo from their Palms Label.
The shorter body seems to work great with the 888 cut.

Anyone see or plan on picking up a new Flat Head Flannel that Rivet and Hide just posted up? Really loving these. Regrettably a UHF doesn't make much sense in L.A. where temps are creeping up over 80F already, but really want this one…..

All four of their new shirts at R&H are fantastic but the one you linked to is my favorite by far. Not the biggest fan of the chest pockets on their westerns but that pattern is just perfect.

Yeah, I don't disagree on the pockets, not my favorite design but Flat Head flannels are next level and seem to be hard to find, so I'll definitely be picking at least one of these up.

Yeah I ABHOR the asymmetrical pocket/flap. Looks like those cheesey early 2000s mma ufc related brand of western shirt (whose name escapes me).
