The Flat Head

Just always wash in cold water and hang to dry

Return them. Trust me, it's not worth the inevitable disappointment.

[Flash]

Listen to shoreman mate , you can always exchange them ?

Anyone have an issue with the wide shoulders on FH shirts? I've wanted to pick one up but the shoulder measurements always scare me off.

The fabrics are just cool as shit.

[jacoavlu]

not really. the cut on TFH vs IH is different, its more the slim gut on TFH stuff that can get you, some of the westerns reallly taper

[GimpKid]

Ah, that might be a concern as well. Thanks jaco.

Well guys luckily I was able to make these work - soaked them and wore them while damp, stretched them enough that I can tolerate the tightness at the waist.  My original angst with these wasn't that they didn't fit as much as the tagged size and measurements on both self edge and dc4 was 2-3 inches off of what I received.  I understand the handmade variations in size but that's just excessive IMO.

[Guest]

SE is definitely off. DC4 reflects the measurements a bit more accurately. I was speaking to Alex at T+Y last week and he even brought up in our conversation the discrepancy between the indicated measurements and the actual. Which is why I was surprised he made them available for sale without having first provided their own table of measurements.

won't tate take them back? I mean if they're not measuring their own product and they're using someone else's size tables and they won't stand behind the numbers they post I'd throw a fit. they ought to cover return shipping and exchange for a proper pair if it's so far off

That's an issue I have with TFH as well  >:(.  The chest fits me, but the shoulders are miles apart.  Like what jaco said, they taper quite a bit.

Hi Sal you sure about the zipper? Anyway FH is really great stuff, have the 3009 and 3005. Cannot go wrong with FH

[Dirty Denim]

The zipper is the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger yet.  I like the fit of them though.  Are there any comparable  FH styles like the 2011?

[davito]

Sal, 3001. Be careful with sizing, they are unsanforised but should stretch back to tag size

[Dirty Denim]

ok so the 3001  1001 then…Thanks buddy and gotcha on the sizing

[davito]

1001 would also be possible in 16oz with Button fly in this cut. The fading in flatheads is really special, you see it in this thread
Good Hunt buddy

[davito]

Sal Sorry 3001 is with zipper too and leighter weight than 2001….my bad sorry
So 1001 is with Button fly in 16oz

i would have returned them but they require all tags and such for returns - and when I tried them on for the first time I ripped the main tag on the back pocket.  Plus the fact that I'm training for my first triathlon and expect to shed 10-15 pounds over the next 4 months, so it just wasn't a show stopper for me or a real priority to return them.  Just annoyed at the discrepancies in measurements vs reality more than anything.
