Flat Head F380 Restock and Blue Diamond Short Sleeve
We've just received a full restock of the Flat Head F380 straight leg jean from size 28 up to size 38, these have turned into one of the most popular jeanswe carry here at the store and are turning into one of the more difficult products to keep in stock. Perfect for anybody wanting the 3001/F310 but with a hairmore room in them...

We released the Blue Diamond Button Down six weeks back and they sold so quickly we had Flat Head produce us a special run of them between seasons.

Both the F380 and the Blue Diamond Button Down are both now available in the online store:

VERY GOOD read!!!!!

I'm a newbie to this denim game
Compared to what yo all are sayin
I own a pair of Rock & Republics, 3 pairs of Antiks, a pair of Paper Denims and a pair of Chip & Peppers
Readin this was extremely helpful
Because I've actually been tryin to switch up but didn't know where to start

I'd like to thank everyone in here that kicked their knowledge and the ones who made them kick knowledge

glad you learned somethin

, what do you have in mind for your next pair?

What I have in mind are the APC NS fit, the Imerial Dukes and the Imperial Kings
But I want to start with some Levis that would fit like the Imperial Dukes a little bit
So which Levis should I cop??

R.I.P. 501s

Haven't bought a pair in 5+ years and they fit RIDICULOUSLY wide.

Time to move on? Recommendations?

Denim heads I need ya'lls advice with this issue.......I just copped these Levi 501s size 32 x 32. When i first tried em on I really liked the look and thefit was OK, so I tried on some 31x32 also & they fit like a dream and looked great aswell. But because of the feel of the denim I thought they might shrinka size so I went ahead & copped the 32's. So my question is: will they shrink and give me the same fit & look as the 31x32 or will they stay thesame & I be better off returnin em for the better fittin 31's ? Thanks.

Son, are you ******ed or did you not get the memo about Japanese repro denim?

I actually agree with the guy, those jeans don't look that great. They definitely don't seem worth the trouble and price the guy paid for them.

There is obviously a discrepancy in this forum between denim as a link to historical memory, and denim as fashion without context.

Sanforized denim shrinks a nominal amount and won't be noticeable after a few wears. Get the 31.

What's your guys opinion on grey jeans? I copped a Grey pair of Rock n Republics last week and I love the fit although matching clothing is limited,I've purchased a few items. Just wanted the general consensus on these.

Also, what about corduroy jeans? I saw a few pairs at Nordstrom's and I saw people with these before, just wanted to get some thoughts/feedback

 

[purple sneaks]

should i soak them in hot water?
how long should i soak for?

If you're going with gray, you might was well consider pants to expand your selection choice. I like some of the Dior Homme grey pants and Robert Gellergrey pants from last season.

Corduroy can look out of place unless you can pull off a casual work wear aesthetic.

 

[ouchrislitt]

Whoa. Just discovered this thread. I have reading to do.

Are there any websites where I can get authentic true religions for cheeaper then retail?

 

[apwrxmd]

I bought a pair of kicking mule workshop 2010s about 6 months ago and wanted to know if there was any way to get them cleaned without having them shrink?

They fit perfect in length and I'm afraid if I wash them they will shrink and will look like highwaters.

Is there any way to get them cleaned without shrinkage or significant shrinkage.

I heard washing for a short amount of time in cold water might prevent it but I'm not sure...

 

[jaeizzle]

my RRDS, couple months.

So how should I go about washing them (the 31's) ? Thanks again.

Depending on where you live, yes you can find raw denim at the mall. Depends on the price you're willing to spend.
