Cool, appreciate the heads up. I think a new button will be the best I can expect then.

I appreciate that but it's not just cash as to why I'm buying from Japan.

There are no retailers with my size in the UK, so it's either US or Japan, and I chose Japan.

Ironically since ordering I've found a store called Rivet & Hide who stock them, Sod's Law in action.

Wow, ok, so that's a no then.

Was just keen to see if you could grease the wheels.

Yeah, I hear you both, I'm trying not be a whinger but for a pair of extremely expensive denim I was hoping for a little more robustness!

I have emailed 2nd and will report back for those in a similar situation.

@Giles do you still take care of FH interest in Europe? If I encounter any resistance would you be able to help?

Ironhearters, some advice please.

I bought a pair of Flat Head denim the other day (3012) and had started the soak, shrink, wear, stretch process.

However to my dismay, one of the rivets has popped off, please see attached pics.

I'm not new to raw denim, I have experience with LVC shrink-to-fit and a few one-wash Omnigods. So to see this happen on the top button really makes me think about returning these.

They came from 2nd Shop on Rakuten so we'll see about how good they are about returns/exchanges but I have a feeling this may be a tricky one. For a pair of £200+ jeans this is not what I expected.

Advice and help please!

@Jeef

You don't remember what the 33 waist started at in terms of actual measurement by any chance?

@Jeef

Hey man, thanks for the advice.

It's taken me a while to find this fit and yes I do want the taper!

As regards shrinkage, I'm a 32 as well so wasn't sure if sizing up to take into account shrinkage or not. Seems like this is what you did?

Anyhow, appreciate you taking the time to shed some light on it for me.

Hi Flat Headers, I wonder if someone can school me on the level of shrinkage I can expect on a pair of 3012s?

They are the ones I want but am unsure of sizing. I need a 32, so should I grab a 32 knowing it will shrink about 1'' to 1.5'' and wait for stretch?

Anyone with experience with this fit and/or denim?

Redwood rough-out…

Black Domain with a #430…

Hey Giles, very nice indeed, both models are of interest to me. Can I ask about the all black stealth ones you mentioned earlier. Would love to get some more details on how one would go about ordering etc.

Thanks…
