Finding yet another way to reinterpret the iconic American casual Vintage Check, The Flat Head introduces this beautifully original herringbone block check fabric woven on a vintage shuttle loom. This heavy-duty textured buffalo plaid pattern fabric has been woven in rugged herringbone twill, creating a unique surface. Additionally, the fabric has been single-brushed on the face and double-brushed on the reverse to provide unbeatable comfort and heat retention.
It features a classic western style but in a slightly slim silhouette, with great attention to detail that includes pearl shell snap buttons, black cotton backing in sleeves and collar, and a soft-to-the-touch brushed interior, ensuring insulating, comfortable wear.
The flannels 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.
