The Flat Head

Thank you, @den1mhead & Giles!

As a consequence of marathon training, I can now get into my 5 year old pair of TFH 3009 one wash jeans;

We just released our new relaxed tapered collaboration with Real Japan Blues x The Flat Head in the RJB 14 oz left hand twill Zimbabwe cotton

We also restocked the RFR-022 Super Slim that uses the same denim. This is my pair after around 200 wears.

Wow, that denim looks amazing.

Adding these to my DWC shortlist.

Guys, i hope you can help me. Got this TFH 3002 second hand this weekend. It has about 30-40 wears and 2 washes. I hoped to shred and wash shit out if it but today i read somewhere the pioneer denim can shrink even more down the road. can anyone confirm this? Do i better stick to gentle soaks than regular machine washings? Fit is pretty spot in and on the tight (but not uncomfortable) side. Don‘t want to loose anything anywhere if possible. What do you think?

I'm not sure about extra shrinkage after multiple washes (assuming the washes were warm/hot). Personally I would do a cold or very lukewarm hand wash with plenty of soap and agitation to get any funk or stains out. I doubt you'll see much if any change in measurements from this but you could check pre and post wash to see if the denim reacted at all and maybe try a warmer wash dependent on if there was anymore shrink at a colder temp.

Ilo - I have a pair of pre owned 3002 as well and so far I've given them a hot soak and a machine wash on delicate, I believe between me and the previous owner we've gotten all the shrink out of them. It also sounds like you may have have gotten all the shrink out already if they were two hot washes.
For me, they initially feel tighter after the soak/wash but stretch right back out to pre wash size after a few wears. I hope this helps.

Thanks guys @BloodnThunder & @dcinitial
That's what i hoped to hear. As it was freshly washed when i got the pants i also hope for a little stretch, got already a bit of it yesterday. Trying to be careful when washing this. I hate this overthinking about how to wash your denim but ending up with a to small pair would bum me out too.

Quite interesting read over at Heddels about The Flat Head. It's very interesting that Kobayashi-san has so many different TFH labels by now.

@Appfaff if I can ask, what size did you go for in TFH t-shirts? I bought a standard 44 today and it fits well though across the chest and underarms are more fitted than I'm used to. The 46 was massive though. DC4 have a special R series that is wider in the top block and I might order one to see how it compares.
