The Flat Head

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.

This is what I would do:
If you get one from Flat Head (or Iron Heart) you'll need a hand press anyway

Anyone ever size down in FH jeans? haha
Long time ago I sold a pair of 30x33.5 F310 on here, they fit slim but after just a couple hours of wear I was getting major diaper butt… way on down the road decided to try again with Sz 29 F310 to see if I could avoid the diaper butt situation but I bought them real cheap somewhere and they sat in my closet for maybe a couple years now?
Finally decided to break em out soak em and try em on and jesus these things are like painted on jeggings. I've worn them for around an hour now and they ARE stretching out but these are so damn slim. Yikes. My wife apparently really likes the way I look in them but i'm sitting here praying they will continue to stretch and eventually allow me to breath. Surprised I haven't popped the button yet.
I wear Sz 30 in typical IH jeans... DC4001 and 634s are still my current. Self edge measurements of the Sz 29 F310 and Sz 30 DC4001 seemed fairly close to me but I am far more comfortable in the IH.
How much stretch can I expect in the F310 model? I'm around 6' tall, 150lbs with super chicken legs.

@Splattered You should be able to stretch the waist just about out to the raw measurement but this denim continues to shrink with subsequent washes and can end up between 0.5-1.0" less in the waist than when raw.
Stick to cold washes when the time comes. -
Ahh crap… time to offload these and size up then haha
-
Hell I'm stoked for you man!

progress of my Flat Head F310
estimate ~150 wears, had their first wash in the tub last week
Those look great [emoji108]

More than great, I find. F***ing awesome. Only glad they're the zipper model, otherwise I'd be very tempted to do a caper on them…but I only wear button flies.

One of the best 310 fits I've seen.

Anyone have the plate buckle belt? I have belts out the ass but I really want a plate in black.
