Here's my pair of Flat Head F380s

11.5 months of wear
2 hot soaks
2 hot washes
Several ghetto repairs

I asked the tailor to hem them an inch and he tapered them an inch instead, which is why the leg opening looks so narrow. He offered me $50 as an apology but I didn't mind the fit so I declined. The old guy was too nice to be taking his money for an honest mistake.

Very nice gee.  what belt it that?

On a related note:

Giles do you have any pairs/flicks of FH S5003 that have been worn?  Cheers.

[Giles]

Yes, somewhere.  I have lost them somewhere in the house along with a TWHRII.  I'll have another look for them tomorrow.  The fading on the S5003 is not great, I used them as a workhorse pair of jeans when I was getting them regularly filthy, so they have had a load of washes.  G

[that_was_easy]

Understood and thanks for looking for 'em on my 'count.  Not after hooj fades on my denim, which is illustrated by the fact that I've been working on a pair of KMW's for the last few months which are sort of notorious for their indigo cling.  A KMW thread is forthcoming.

Word is the 5XXX denim is the antithesis of the 3XXX denim, with a more vintage-looking fade.  Thanks G

5100 - same denim as the 5003:

Compare to a 3xxx worn and washed in about the same way:

Certainly less contrasty thean the 3xxx denim.  G

Thanks for posting those pics G.  I figure most of them in that Flathead gallery belong here anyway!  Clearly no use in letting these jeans get the funk 'cause it seems the jeans and not I will be deciding how they'll fade.

Got home from work today to my package from Beatle.  I am/got excited so they've just gone into the tub for a soak from the hot tap and the only camera in the house is out of juice. So pics will be posted tomorrow or the day after at the latest.  Possibly some fit pics, straight out of the Internet's self-pic playbook.   Thanks again Beatle/Lando!
