The Flat Head
-
The cordovan looks amazing and the stitching looks even better. I am guessing goat tendon construction? Does it fold pretty flat? I really like my IH medium cordovan but it is a fat SOB. Nice fit on those jeans too, not too slim or loose.

Thanks guys - and yeah, I think it is tendon thread. I've watched how they stitch these things, it's really impressive - they actually use two stitches that go back and forth in opposite directions.
It's pretty thick right now but it'll flatten out over time. I've really gotten over veg tan stuff, one of the many things I like about this wallet is that I don't have to worry about indigo stains.

Sounds like saddle stitching.

Hi guys, was deliberating on the sizing for these. And the varying measurements provided was an onslaught for an entire week. But I'm glad these turned out well.
Many thanks to Ben and Simon for the advice on their jackets and providing measurements of their own shirts and jackets!
This pair was 1 day old when I took the shots. After 3 weeks and have settled down pretty comfortably

Late Valentines day gift from Darci. She did pretty good!

@TrickHell , what's wrong with the pockets?
Anesthetist, dope! I love their silver. I think I'm going to pick up the feather ring… I sold it when I got my bike chain bracelet because I thought wearing both would be too much, but i've come to realize I was wrong!

@tragic_mouse , that's a perfect fit!!! I gotta post mine up here to show some of the super nice roping and creasing I have on the inner arms!

Thanks man! Let me know if you get serious about the ring, I dont wear mine much anymore.

I think you're referring to the old Roebuck style yoke and pockets they use. I like it, a taste of something different.

Thanks for the help Ben. I blame it on my Asian stature, man. I have to size down one from my THC shirts just for the length to be correct. Hmm…
Do show the ropings man. My 3002s are already showing some roping at 4 weeks old. And you're so right, the denim is fantastic...
-
That's a great fit @tragic_mouse. So which size jacket did you take in the end?

@Sugar Mountain Hey Simon! I ended up getting a size 38. I passed by a store carrying it. But they have only a size 40 in the 6007. The shoulders were bigger and the sleeves were covering till my knuckles. Like how my Nudie Conny was fitting. I guess the Japanese cut is predominantly a smaller cut. As you can see. my tors is pretty short. When i carry backpacks my rear belt loops always get rubbed off. And the sleeves were just nice…almost
So i decided that 38 is good for me! Thanks for the help! Just weird that my t shirts were at 40.

I love the slanted pockets on FH western shirts, I think they're much cooler looking that the conventional straight and wedge-type used on most western shirts.

Alright guys, here it is! Imo the best wallet there is. It took a while to get but totally worth it. I'm in love with this thing. Cordovan outer, cowhide inner, pigskin up the wazoo.
absolutely
