The Flat Head
-
Just ordered the wabash….decide that the fabric was too good and that the fit I had wasn't too bad and I'm sure it'd get better with some washes and wear....
-
Epic shirt

I was goofing around with my girlfriend's new camera and decided to try my hand at shooting some denim. These are some Flat Head F310 that I bought in 2009. Love these jeans and figured what better place to share.

bonus from work = little splurge for myself

Hey any chance of a fit pick and sizing info I'm thinking about getting this from S.E.
Also maybe an overall review (feel,construction and thoughts in general) Thanks and great looking shirt -
sure - however I just proxied it. It will be a few weeks before I receive it
-
^ oh ok lol well look forward to see haow it goes
-
Where are you located? I get stuff from Japan 4 days after I've ordered it.

Here are some fit pics of my Flat Head western flannels so you can see how much they taper. The blue check is by Glory Park the black/white is Flat Head. They are both size 42. The Glory Park one tapers slightly more. I also have the pink(salmon)/black one from Self Edge in size 42 which is a work shirt style. It doesn't taper as much as the western. I can take a picture of that one too if you'd like.

Both shirts look great! I'm surprised at how long they look on you, though.
-
The westerns are longer than work, right?

Thanks! Short torso? haha. I'm about 5'8. You can see that the fold around the last snap where the shirt lands on my belt buckle. When I tried on my first Flat Head shirt, it felt like I put on a shirt designed for my body type.

I think it varies from model to model. All of mine seem to be roughly the same at about 28 inches.

My native check work shirt actually measures a tad under 27" which is awesome…I have a short torso as well. I would have way more iron heart shirts if they weren't ridiculously long on me

I'd have more Iron Heart shirts if they didn't drape over me in the back. I have the wabash western and a short sleeve IH shirt that both just have weird sized arm holes for me and leave too much material in the back. I love the shirts, but the profiles aren't as flattering as the Flat Head's for me.
-
I know what you mean! I loved my wabash workshirt but it was a tent from the back, which is why I have the wabash from flat head on its way
-
I am the other way around. Love to get/wear FH, but sizing and fit are a bit off for me. Looking good sirxlaughs. A rant from me, not liking the label FH is using on their shirts.
-
TFH is one of my favorites but sizing can be a challenge. It is well documented here how large the shoulders are relative to the slender trunk on many of their cuts. I had to get a 44 for the diamond and dots and shrink it down and the sleeves are still too long, and the torso is very close (perfect shoulders though). But man their stuff is so brilliant.
-
The shoulders are perfect for my build, but it's a wee bit tight as it tapers. Not my favorite fit, but I really like the one western flannel that I own.
-
Apparently their shirts are based on a 40's cut or something and have dropped shoulders. They're not supposed to be bang on like iron heart/sugar cane etc because people didn't used to wear their shirts like that. Same with dry bones.
McLain, so you got some shrinkage? How was it in comparison to shoulders/sleeves and body/length?
