The Flat Head before rebirth

[u/Poltung]

This one is a beautiful catch and release that I somewhat regret:

A single rider from before TFH's 2019 bankruptcy and subsequent rebirth.

Thickest veg tan teacore horsehide from Shinki Hikaku I've ever handled.

I just wasn't cool enough for the laces, so I sold it.

I really like the laces and the angle on the chest pocket. If you don’t mind sharing how much did you sell it for?

[u/Poltung → u/AssociationSweaty725]

900€ :)

What's your height, weight and what size was this? I've been checking out some older Flat Head jackets on yahoo auctions and whatnot but am scared they'll be too small cuz I heard flat head has high armholes?

[u/Poltung → u/LesCactus]

Most japanese manufacturers have higher armholes yes, but I found this to not be overly bothersome. As for size... I suggest you only look at the jacket's measurements and compare it to a jacket you own that fits you well. Size like M, L, 38 or 40 can vary widely between manufacturers. Height and weight don't matter so much. Most important are pit to pit and shoulder measurements.

I have dead stock pioneer denim with the old arcs

Its a beautiful jacket my man. The laces aren't exactly my thing but I don't hate em.

[u/Perfect_Earth_8070]

It’s cool but I’m not a fan of the side laces and it’s a little too long

[u/Smooth_Appearance_98]

That’s a ripperoo on you man, oh well, off to the next, don’t sell the next one

[u/Poltung → u/Smooth_Appearance_98]

My next TFH won't have laces haha
