The Flat Head’s 18oz selvedge denim is woven on vintage shuttle looms, combining substantial heft with a pronounced, woven texture. The slower weaving process creates a charmingly irregular fabric—rich in character and aging potential. The weave has a pronounced, rain-like texture that will yield what The Flat Head call a “Doshaburi” or “downpour” fade on account of its vertical detailing. One-washed for a softer hand and minimal shrinkage. As is often the case with heavier selvedge denim, these jeans will reward regular wear with a bespoke fit and a beautiful patina. Over time, The Flat Head’s 8004 jeans will mold to the body and fade in ways entirely unique to their wearer.
As for the fit, The Flat Head’s 8004 cut is as classic as it gets: a mid-to-high rise, a roomy thigh, and a straight leg with just a touch of taper from the knee down.
A note on sizing: These jeans have been one-washed, but a small amount of shrinkage is still expected with subsequent washes. Please allow a little wiggle room when sizing—do not size snug.
