After last week’s superb offerings from the US based brands we have been eagerly anticipating the riposte from the other side of the Pacific and as you would expect from the Japanese contingent – it’s impressive!
The Flat Head leads the charge with some really special custom-made pieces.
The Dobby Stripe shirt in ivory and navy is a great example of this. In some places the pattern detailing is down to an unbelievable 1mm. To achieve this level without a ‘blurring’ of the fabric, the vintage shuttle looms required expert improvements and calibrations. The resulting shirt has been made with a trim fit and cutaway collar and is a perfect example of what can be achieved with old machines and modern thinking.

The next example of contemporary meets traditional is in the form of the most comfortable cardigan you are ever likely to see or feel. The Flat Head decided that only the best would do and set out to Italy in order to source some of the legendary ‘Cashwool’ from Zegna Baruffa. Treated in such a way to be shrink proof and pill-resistant, the extra fine Australian merino yarn goes through a combing process which leaves only the longest – and therefore ‘fluffiest’ – fibres for use. A modern fit, roll collar, ribbed hem & sleeves and a geometric/traditional design all come together to complete this unique piece.
Some new denim is also on the scene with the 3202 super slim high rise. A crisp and sturdy 20 oz. fabric has gone into these and it goes goes to show how well TFH can turn their hand to different weights. Oozing texture and character, we can’t wait to see a pair of these broken in. The fit is a tweaked version of the classic 3002, slim tapered with a little more room in the thigh, a higher rise and a neat taper to the hem. The front pockets have also been widened and made much more functional. These adjustments really open up the brands denim to the typically larger builds of a western audience.
The same cut is reflected in the D306, although for this model they have used the signature ‘pioneer’ denim so beloved of denim enthusiasts for its hairiness and fade potential. If you need any convincing, simply visit our ‘fade archive’ for some great examples of what this denim can achieve.
We also represent another showing from The Flat Head Club Label with the Field coat. A superb fitting piece, bursting with subtle and understated cut & detailing. Lined inside with TFH signature red and black flannel, the outer material is a weather resistant blend of cotton and nylon. Adjustable waist & cuffs, hidden bellows shoulders, articulated sleeves, four outside sport pockets - the lower with additional side pockets, inside hidden chest pocket and lower patch pocket, combine to make this a smart and practical option.

Black jeans always experience a surge in popularity during the colder, darker months and Pure Blue Japan are taking it seriously with the double black BB-019. Cut to the new relaxed tapered 019 pattern (higher in the rise, roomier top block and thigh, narrow hem), PBJ have chosen to sanforize this denim in order to avoid detracting from the depth of black with their usual slubby texture. Black patch, black stitching and black embroidered indigo leaf – only the redline selvedge breaks the mould.
We have also restocked the xx-18oz-013 in the super slubby fabric for anyone looking for something in a heavier weight for the colder months. Slim tapered fit, this fabric softens up amazingly in a very short period of time. Don’t wait on these – they move fast.

How's the fit on those Stevenson socks? Those are dope. I got 5 pairs of Chup that are too long and way too narrow. They are about 2 inches too long from toe to heel and oh so tight.

@Filthy 21/23oz junkie These stretch more than Chup and are 1 size for that reason. Good for size 7-11. Very comfy socks.

I will have to check them out. Thanks for the speedy reply.

New from UES is the short sleeve Indigo Henley. The long staple cotton delivers a really soft yet durable finish. The yarns are rope-dyed in indigo and the fit is trim and as always with UES a real winner.
For the feet, UES have presented us with their ‘one size’ sock in grey and navy. Pretty much every customer who buys a pair of these returns for more and once you’ve worn them it's easy to see why.
For the middle, a restock of the heavy natural leather belts which darken and develop a wonderful patina over the years.
To top it off, a choice of caps – brown hunter, indigo dyed discharge Wabash hunter and a deep indigo dyed work cap.

The Flat Head always delivers its winter flannels and Native Check shirts in December. We affectionately call this the "Santa Drop" due to its timing and level of excitement this delivery generates among all of us at the store and among our customers too.
The timeless block check flannels with herringbone weave reappear in a navy/grey colourway. The western shirt features mother of pearl snaps and a smaller collar compared with previous iterations. The work shirt version has a cutaway collar design this year. The fabric is brushed on the inside for warmth and feel appeal. The herringbone weave gives these shirts a tremendous depth of texture. Whats more, they hold their shape years down the line and look even better with wear. We also have re-stocks of the classic black/red block check.
The Native Check shirts are available in western and work shirt cuts in red/ivory and blue/ivory respectively. The intricately woven fabric holds great depth in design and texture which only a shuttle loom can produce. These mid-weight, slim silhouetted and soft fabric shirts make for excellent layering pieces in colder weather whilst making a lighter alternative to heavier flannels come the spring.
New from 3sixteen, and a great complement to their layering options, is the heavyweight crew neck sweater. Constructed from the same 500gsm Canadian made fleece as the hoodies, these come with the added functionality of hidden handwarmer pockets in the side seams. Available in all 3 colourways – heather grey, black and oatmeal.
We have filled any sizing gaps across the range of 3sixteen jeans and also the excellent heavyweight hoodies in all 3 colourways. If you are not familiar with these hoodies, they are an extremely versatile choice. Heavyweight, soft, warm and comfortable, they are cut with a slim fit which enables them to be easily layered under a denim or leather jacket, whilst also looking great as a piece on their own.

Anyway the 48 in the workshirt might fit if I wear an XXL in IH UHFs?
My last experience with TFH shirts was that they were universally too small
Around the waist - wondering if they are less “tapered” - hard for me to convince myself from the measures.Thanks Danny.

@Appfaff I own both western and work, assuming these models aren't cut much different, my experience is the work shirts are much more forgiving and cut more straight down. Obviously wait for Danny to chime in but I would think you'd be good with the work version.
The Westerns are probably one of the most unforgiving cuts of any shirt I've tried on, if you're not super slim and/or T-bodied they probably won't work for you as sizing up means the shoulders will be way too wide.

Would love to jump into FH shirts. But shoulder vs chest & waist is a challenge for me :(.

It sounds like everyone has the same exact experience with TFH shirts. Too slim for me too, but they are damn beautiful. I love the short sleeves from this past year that I saw.

I would say the 48 would work ok.
Sadly the 48s were a short lived development. From next year they will not make them again due to the high production costs vis a vis demand. The work shirts do give a little more room around the waist whilst still being a slim fit.** -
Thanks Danny - I might give it a shot a the collar is a real stunner
