Old Empire Motorcycles is based in the Norfolk countryside. They make great bikes influenced by British automotive, maritime and aeronautic history. They just released their newest bike The Bulldog and we helped them out with some of our shirts and denim for the launch shoot. It was a glorious autumn day and the bikes and the clothes from The Flat Head and Indigofera looked pretty hot together. Here are some of the shots.

Always good to see Beatle pop up in pics.

[Danny RnH]

Thanks for coming on Saturday, TAA. Was great to meet you.

So, did t&a leave in that TFH flannel I wonder? Sorry I couldn't be there… Looks like a lot fun was had.

[trail and arrow]

no, i didn't!
this is one great flannel,
but unfortunately i have several flannels,
and i am a friend of not just owning but actually wearing things.

When I recently restocked The Flat Head HNW-52w western red border flannel someone contacted me asking if I was getting any more work shirts in the same fabric  HN-52w. I answered no. I was wrong. I have a couple in size 42 coming very soon.
Now I cannot trace the message. It may not have been on this forum but if it was you let me know and I'll hold one for you.

[Morose_Penguin]

That's a shame, it looks like a great fit on you. But I understand about only buying what you know you'll get wear out of.

Those who like us love 3sixteen's clean and minimalist designs should check out these latest arrivals: The 30 BSP jean, the waxed stadium jackets, and the heavyweight fleece hoodies.

The jackets use a 6.25 oz. waxed cotton from USA, include a diamond quilted lining, a heavyweight gunmetal zipper and come in blue and black. The waxy fabric will break in and age with wear like nothing else. The slim/modern fit but can be sized up for a more relaxed look.

The hoodies come in heather grey and black, are made from a heavyweight cotton fleece, have a 3 piece hood construction, and include rawhide leather drawstrings with a zipper pull. The regular fit can be sized down for a slimmer silhouette.

The 30BSP is made from a 15.5 oz  sanforized Japanese selvedge (Kuroki). It is a good fit for those who need a little extra room in the thigh and a higher back rise compared with the other fits. The thick natural tan leather patch is by Tanner Goods

We also received the latest jean to join our ever expanding range of The Flat Head Denim.

The 1001 uses an unsanforized 16 oz. denim and comes in a slim straight silhouette. "Knee tight" promises great fades whilst the leg opening will suit all types of footwear.

If you have always fancied some Flat Head jeans with a longer inseam this could be the pair. 38" raw shrinking to a minimum of 35.5". This denim has less shrinkage than the Pioneer denim. It can be sized down for a slimmer fit and TTS for the straighter look.

You always have such great stuff at your place. I love the new Flathead as well. Must be a great jean from what I can see on the screen!!!!

[Fergz]

Love those FH jeans and nice to see a little extra weight there with the 16oz.

How would you size these Danny? I'm 30 in IH denim which fits like a glove regardless of cut and would max out size wise at 31. I like a nice, slim silhouette.

[Danny RnH]

Fergz, which fits do you wear in IH?

Basically, a 30w measures 31" . It will shrink down to 30" but stretch will back out to 31"

The denim is really good. It has the usual vertical fading and deep indigo properties of the Pioneer denim with a little more weight and less shrinkage.

Thanks Reudi. Glad you like what we carry. Happy New year.

Although our primary focus is on Japanese denim, and those who work with it, we don't stop looking out for other talented people closer to home.

Anyone with a love of mid-century clothes and design should pick up a copy of the latest edition of Men's File. Printed for the first time in Japan, it comes in a double edition collaboration with Clutch Magazine.
It continues its focus on style, cars and motorcycles. The writing and photography are both, as always, exemplary.

The X012 from Railcar Fine Goods comes in the popular Spikes fit with just a little extra room in the thigh than previous models. It includes some more added details such as hidden back pocket rivets, back and coin pocket interior lining and triple stitched seat and belt loop seams.  It uses the popular 14.75 ounce red line selvedge Cone Mills denim. The last image shows how this denim ages. It was used on the previous X002 model before the fit and construction details were updated.

James modelled The Flat Head Speck flannel with these jeans. This is a medium weight very soft fabric that can be worn most months of the year.
