The Flat Head D306 is the newest cut from the Japanese brand, featuring a super-slim leg with a mid-low rise. It is made of The Flat Head 3XXX denim, an icon in the Japanese denim scene for decades. This fantastic denim is renowned for its high contrast and super-fast fades, including one of the strongest and most beautiful vertical fades ("falling") we have ever seen.
In its raw, unwashed state, the denim's surface feels smooth and sleek, providing an exciting texture that changes after the first soak. The dry and rough hand feel, with slubbing and hairiness starting to appear, creates a unique character. We have chosen the non-wash version so that you can experience and enjoy this change in texture.
The jeans are crafted with all the superior-quality Flat Head details, including branded iron buttons, large front copper rivets, raised belt loops, and a custom vegetable-tanned deerskin leather patch.
*For these jeans, we have chosen the non-wash version; We highly recommend you soak the jeans in hot water before the first wear. Please, expect around 4cm (1.5in) of shrinkage in the waist and 7,6cm (3in) in the inseam when soaking in warm water so please, keep it in mind when looking for your size in the product size chart.
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.
