The Flat Head
-
Absolutely stonking jacket and combo @zatenm ..Looks like the TFH Cafe Racer? I've hardly worn mine but need to before it gets too cold in the UK and then have an agonising wait for next year
-
Zatenm looks sooo damn good!! In a few years we're going to have a jacket-off and see whose looks best

42 sounds too big man, I have a pic in 38 and 40 if it helps. I'm a 40 in fh
-
Thanks! Looking forward to it @grandmasterben [emoji106][emoji4]
It's a weird sizing for me too @TrickHell. The shoulders are on the large side compared to the chest (I also see that same shoulder- heavy ratio on a couple of TFH shirts I have, must be the way the brand sizes up its tops).. BUT somehow it works [emoji106][emoji106]
Works best / great for me over an IH shirt, medium to heavy. I think the same might apply to yours…..Thank you kind Sir @Finkster

I measured my Schott and emailed Kiya. The 42 was his rec.
If it helps, mine is 42 as well and I'm usually a 38 (in IH). I tried the 40 in the shop and it was a clear no - I couldn't close it and /or lift my arms. I can do 40 if I remember well in the Buco though.. Weird sizing across [emoji53]

Ironhearters, some advice please.
I bought a pair of Flat Head denim the other day (3012) and had started the soak, shrink, wear, stretch process.
However to my dismay, one of the rivets has popped off, please see attached pics.
I'm not new to raw denim, I have experience with LVC shrink-to-fit and a few one-wash Omnigods. So to see this happen on the top button really makes me think about returning these.
They came from 2nd Shop on Rakuten so we'll see about how good they are about returns/exchanges but I have a feeling this may be a tricky one. For a pair of £200+ jeans this is not what I expected.
Advice and help please!
-
Yeah, I hear you both, I'm trying not be a whinger but for a pair of extremely expensive denim I was hoping for a little more robustness!
I have emailed 2nd and will report back for those in a similar situation.
@Giles do you still take care of FH interest in Europe? If I encounter any resistance would you be able to help?
-
Wow, ok, so that's a no then.
Was just keen to see if you could grease the wheels.

Gotta support those you expect support from… -
I appreciate that but it's not just cash as to why I'm buying from Japan.
There are no retailers with my size in the UK, so it's either US or Japan, and I chose Japan.
Ironically since ordering I've found a store called Rivet & Hide who stock them, Sod's Law in action.
-
2ND’s return policy is pretty inexistence and since you soaked them already I don’t see a big chance for you to return them. But they should be able to supply you with a new button which you can apply by yourself or a tailor does it for you.
-
^This. To my knowledge no international returns are accepted. No idea if they would be able to send you a new button though, so that's worth a shot.
-
Cool, appreciate the heads up. I think a new button will be the best I can expect then.
-
Probably not what you want to hear, but you can go to a local art/crafts supply store and buy a set of jean buttons. I did it with a pair of Nudies almost 9 years ago and the store bought ones were even better than the stock ones on the pants originally. Plus, you can have some fun and order something you like, perhaps on etsy - I'm sure a cool vintage green or blue painted button would look badass, but that's just me.
