The Flat Head

[DeeDee85]

Thought I’d share a couple of pics of this one as it really is rather special in person. I’ve been spoilt by Iron Heart for the last couple of years by getting to handle beautiful fabrics all the time but this Flat Head chambray is something else, the stitching is insane too.

These had sold out in my size and Flat Head don’t ship internationally but I clicked on the re-stock notification link anyway. A few days later I got an email from a kind person at Flat Head saying they had found one in my size and offered to post it out to me. Amazing service and really beautiful shirt!

@DeeDee85 that’s some impressive stitching!

[DeeDee85]

@NickD I know, a rarely seen work of art in every shirt

@DeeDee85 great looking shirt. I was looking at one myself as a summer weight chambray and can’t find an xl anywhere now. Does it feel super light?

[DeeDee85]

@SKT it is much lighter than the IHSH-13 actually but still feels substantial enough to take some punishment. Much nicer fabric than the orSlow and Buzz Rickson’s lightweight chambrays I’ve tried. I’ve just checked Withered Fig for you and annoyingly XL is the only size sold out.. maybe you could try Flat Head direct like I did? It took a few translated emails back and forth but we got there in the end with a PayPal invoice to pay. They were great with the tracking updates too.

Triple stitched with that red bobbin thread is so sick

[SKT]

@DeeDee85 I may give that a try. Looks like it would be a perfect lightweight summer chambray. Thanks for sharing your experience with them

@DeeDee85 This looks great.

@DeeDee85 c&m, man! So sweet, great pics. Happy to have one (with matching pants!) on the way

[DeeDee85]

@SKT no problem, I hope you manage to track one down.

[DeeDee85]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot thank you very much, god I can only imagine how great the pants are after wearing this today let me know your thoughts when they turn up! Never really thought I’d be a white shirt guy but this has got me pondering how good the white version must be

Two cool days in a row. So I can wear this today.

Special thanks to my man @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot for helping me track one of these beautiful Chambray shirts down. We’re still without power so I don’t have a proper fit pic yet but it’s as good as @DeeDee85 says. Love it and will post some proper pics when I can

The fabric on those chambrays is fucking awesome.

[SKT]

What he said ^

[DeeDee85]

@SKT very glad you found one! They are incredible aren’t they? Here’s hoping for a couple more colours next summer

@SKT Nice! My sister got me one of these when she was in Japan in May. It's a fantastic shirt. My favorite chambray shirt for sure.

The Flat Head just released a western version of this shirt (FN-SCW-003).

I love this fabric and the construction so much I'm definitely grabbing the western as well.

[SKT]

@Nobunaga love that western. I like the fabric so much I may try to track down the white version too. Such a nice airy summer weight.

Quick and dirty fit pic

It probably comes as no surprise to fans of their tees, but TFH tanks are champ

[DeeDee85]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I can’t stop looking at the tanks but it’s something I’ve never owned and I’m still trying to figure out if I can pull it off ended up ordering two of the border stripe tees while I was pondering the tanks though
