Balls, I want a lightweight pair for summer and was thinking about F380. Now they out of stock and on top discontinued.
Not true…

I actually do have the 7005 * size 40….which is why i don´t wear it much - it´s pretty big on me...I always thought I would hot soak and shrink it..
So mine showed up today and the 44 seems quite big in the length. I am wondering if I should give it a soak? I know that the sleeves will shorten up with creasing at first and by the looks of G's, the length with shorten as well from curling. G, did you soak yours? Beats, did you get around to doing this?
-
Thought so but wanted to check. Going to fill the tub right now! Thanks G!

7001 has been soaked and is now hang drying. I will not sleep until it dries…
-
OK. I have dropped some S5001, some 2004 and some Z3005 on the www.flat-head.co.uk site…G

hey giles, i see that of the pioneer collection that you have picked up 2/3 special editions that are offered (the S2004 & the Z3005). any chance on getting in some of the 3005-21's? If you get your hands on any 33's… well, you know what to do Giles
lemme knowedit: preferably when you can pick them up so the price doesnt jump hugely from 250ish as seen on the flat head jp website. thank you kindly!

Hey Lando…how did that soak turn out ? I admit that I´m a sucker for raw denim..always love to witness how a nice hot soak transforms fit and feel of the denim..

not in relation to Lando's shirt, but his inazumas are some of the best fitting jeans i've ever seen in perfect. measured to perfection.

Beats, The soak turned out alright. Decided I didn't want to measure pre/ post but rather just soak, hang dry and wear. I will post up some pictures soon, but it is still a little long for my taste. I think it may have to get another soak tonight or tomorrow…
DEP, Thanks for the compliment man. Actually wearing them right now!

2nd soak has just begun…

2nd soak has just begun…
3rd Soak is in progress. I need this thing smaller!!!!!
Okay so after the third hot soak and a dry under the heat lamp my FH 7001 finally feels like it fits. I am however confused on the measurements. Below I will post Giles' measurements from the FH UK site: http://www.flat-head.co.uk/html/7001.html as well as the measurements I just took. You will see why I am confused…
FH UK Measurements (FH 7001)(44):
Shoulders - 19.5"
Pit to Pit - 22.5"
Arm - 25"
Length - 31"My 3rd Post-Soak Measurements (FH 7001)(44):
Shoulders - 19.5"
Pit to Pit - 23"
Arm - 25"
Length - 30.75I am now wishing that I took my own measurements when the shirt arrived here. I am wondering how it is possible that the shoulders did not shrink at all, the chest grew .5 an inch, the arm didn't shrink at all, the length only shrunk a .25 inch... All after 3 hots soaks and now it fits better???? WTF? Thoughts are more than welcome...
-
I wish you had taken the specs when it was raw…
There's always a minor difference of size specs on paper and real product - and depending on the water itself every soak will turn out a bit different..
what matters is that it fits now....
