Introducing the Flat Head FN-SDW-001L 10oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt – an exquisite take on the brand's original denim western design, brought into the modern era with meticulous updates. Crafted from the finest 10oz indigo selvedge Japanese denim, skillfully woven on vintage shuttle looms, this shirt exudes a unique charm that evolves over time. The journey of this fabric creates an ever-deepening character in its denim, ensuring that with each wear, its story becomes more captivating.
Incorporating historical craftsmanship, the triangular gussets enhance both the strength and style of this masterpiece, paying homage to classic influences. The placket's back showcases the distinctive selvedge line, an authentic mark of its artisanal creation. The shirt's construction employs a 2-needle winding stitch technique, lending the fabric a charming puckered appearance after washing.
The Western shirt's design features slanted chest flap pockets, an iconic spread collar, and a nod to tradition with the use of natural mother of pearl buttons. The shirt has been carefully washed once in Japan, so you don't need to worry about it shrinking in the future.
The denim shirts from Flat Head are more True to Size compared to other upper garments of the brand, such as t-shirts or sweatshirts, which tend to run small. Despite having a slim fit, we consider the True to Size sizing to be accurate. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
The Flat Head is one of the benchmark Japanese repro Americana-style brands. Its founder, Mayashi Kobayashi, is known in the scene for being a die-hard fanatic of 1950s American style. Inspired by the music, motorbikes, cars, architecture of the era, and with a clear rockabilly influence, Kobayashi created in 1996 a truly authentic brand that today has some firm devotees. It stands out for the extreme quality of each one of its pieces. The brand is always very much aware of a curious philosophy that believes that a product is fully finished only after the customer has worn and moulded it to themselves.
