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 know

edit: 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..

[deadendpro]

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!

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 - 30.75

I 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...

[Beatle]

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....

All good! Loving it. Been wearing it since it dried out two days ago.

Nope. Not for me. I Have 3 SE Collabs. More than plenty. Just wanted to inform everyone if the had not already seen it. Hopefully someone with grab them so we can see them in action. I have my sights set on more important things…

[Dchill]

Oh yeah Lando like what?  Feel free to post in general announcements.

[ricochet]

TFH Z3005 or TFH 1005?
Please help me decide, I want to buy second pair of jeans to rotate with 634sr in coming summer. Free Bandana is nice and 14.5 oz denim probably better 16 oz in summer, but I can’t stand zipper fly. Or 16oz not that much heavier? Or zipper not that bad as I think?
What to do?  ???

[Beatle]

The 16oz is a nice denim..I'd go for those, for sure..

[ricochet]

Could you go more in details please Beatle?
/ find comfy armchair and close my eyes/
634sr is my first pair of proper Japanese denim and I got nothing to compare really. I don’t want to be greedy (as usual hehe) and suffer in 16oz in summer and at the same time scared by the bloody zipper.
Atm in 634sr when I wear them is like working out in gym lol. Running up the stairs and skipping one step in underground is a bit of a challenge.

[Beatle]

well - it will be super nice and hairy after the initial soak - it has a super high potential for contrast fades and vertical falling, it feels a bit rougher than the 14,5 oz 3xxx they use for the 3001 7380 and stuff –super dark indigo - and I don´t find them too hot for in the summer

[Giles]

I have both the 3005 (not the Z, but the cut and the denim is the same) and the 1005.  Marginal difference in the feel of the denim.  Both feel like gauze compared to the 634SR!
