The Flat Head - NEWS
-
After being pampered by IH for so long, sizing on The Flat Head has always been an issue for me.
-
They are one of the few brands other than IH I've gotten stuff from and haven't been disappointed with (them and Indigofera). I had a white, grey, and green flannel from them I thought was awesome. But it was way too small, so I returned it.
I wouldn't ever buy another brand of jeans again besides IH though. But some of the Indigofera shirts are really great and not that expensive for what you get.

@Filthy:

Why's that? Personally I keep trying to buy other brands, but can't bring myself to do so.

@henry_david what Kasi said… IH jeans are heavier. Like for example a 25 oz Samurai jean is like an Iron Heart 21/23 oz weight.
Plus with the exception of maybe Pure Blue Japan, IH jeans look the most beautiful and they have the softest hand.
Edit: also I will admit another reason for my loyalty to IH is this forum, the members, and I think Giles, Alex, and Paula are really cool dudes.
It's hard to imagine being able to find something I'd like more than a pair of XHS and I only have so much time and so much legs...

Good enough for me, @Filthy. I have a pal trying to get me into some TCBs (I'm looking for lighter denim so I have more than just 21oz and 25oz) but I keep feeling like I'd rather buy some 14oz IH or a pair of the indigo wabash instead.

Please see above edit too. I am at work and these are all hurried responses….

I second what your edits say.

Some rad looking western flannels
from The Flat Head in the Rivet and Hide thread today. -
I'm personally glad that they adopted more western sizing. I really hate that I'm sized out of many high-quality brands such as Stevenson, Momotaro, 9Lives and others.
I know there are going to be those that disagree with me on this, but with tops, I think that numeric sizes should indicate what size chest fits that shirt. So me with my 44" chest needs a shirt to be somewhere in the 47-49" range depending on cut.
That "Doady" pattern is awesome, if I didn't already have an awesome orange/blue colorway in the IHSH-263-NAV I'd be seriously considering picking up the FH shirt. I'll be keeping a side-eye on their stuff in the future.

That’s fascinating to read that @tvenuto. I have a 37-38” chest, and after my obligatory IH tee and room to move around, I need at least 42” from a shirt. 43” is better…
-
I have an ancient TFH Winter Flannel in size 42 FWIW. Couldn’t do the 40.
-
And maybe Sonder Supplies could stock some Flat Head? @Alex Seems like they would fit right in with the other brands. I’m sure they could use all the help they can get…

Re: sizing on jeans, I had an issue as well — bought a pair I really liked that I got a good price on from R&H Sayonara. Really great denim, but the rise was so low it was ridiculous.
Just got one of their heavy flannels though, and it is killer. Glad to know they're hanging on.
-
I feel like 10" rise is getting ridiculous. Even lower and you're in Britney Spears jeans territory or some shit

@popvulture – You mean you don't wanna flash ppl your pubes when wearing jeans? ::)

@henry_david believe me — nobody needs to see that
