I just dont see the point of this FH one. Please enlighten me!

excellent fit - superb denim - good craftsmanship -  that's usually good enough for me to make a purchase. TFH is probably as good as any excellent type 3 jacket there is, including IH.
my point being that I perceive IH's 21 oz denim more suitable for a modern cut jacket and the fact that IH-526J was not available for reference (nor for immediate purchase).

the only IH jacket at hand was IH-9527J and that is a different type.
(I did place an order for IH-527J - that where I see IH making a difference, but that's personal preference.)

Aaah you bought yourself a rider ey…

PREPARE...

[FOXY]

yes, Sir!

the order is placed…

Been looking into FH recently and I think the BSP is for me because it has a small leg opening, but still decent in the thighs and rise.

I'm think a tag size 34.  I currently wear a tag size 33 APC NC.  Whats the best tips on measuring myself or a jean that I like to compare to the sizes on the Self-Edge site?

Also, I'm a 33 in BB.  Thighs on that are almost perfect.

Does anyone know anything about the new (i'm assuming they're new) cotton/kevlar denim from TFH? There seems to be a K011 and K015 model, though even on Rakuten US i don't get much out of the translation. I'm def picking up a pair of Busters this week but these Kevlar models caught my eye on TFH website

maybe you can ask 'em for more info?

I think Master G will know, probably has some at the castle.

G, anything special about this kevlar denim? super stiff maybe?

[Giles]

No it is actually almost identical in look and feel to the 3xxx denim.  It's just that the weft is Kevlar, unless someone told you they were something special, you would have no idea.  They are USD500 though…...........

[jimmy]

I've seen Kevlar reinforcement jeans but never in the weave. So it wears the same as pure cotton? As in comfit level

[Giles]

Yes

The Flat Head F380s.. These have taken a backseat to my Iron Hearts but I still love 'em. No idea of how many days of wear.. these were washed sparingly at first but now I just wash them whenever.

[rocket]

they look great!

[babyknight]

I preordered this from the fall collection at the SELA party on Saturday.  Now I have to wait until September/October to get it!

[Guest]

Good looking shirt, though. Worth the wait, imo.

[Omega Man]

Lucky you.  Good looking shirt indeed.  Too bad the sizing on FH shirts don't fit me (and numerous others on this forum) well.

Self Edge x Flat Head x Real Japan Blues = SEXFHXRJB15 are a problem
