Military classic!
The Flat Head are back with another stone-cold classic inspired by vintage Levi's WWII-era denim! This era of denim manufacturing is known for the wartime rationing restrictions placed on garment makers that produced some of the most iconic denim with unique detailing!

This model features vintage-spec details including a doughnut laurel leaf top button, hand-painted back pocket arcuates, random Japanese lightweight flannel inner pockets, cowhide leather patch and bar tack coin pocket construction.

The Flat Head 'Ultimate' Horsehide 40s Single Riders Jacket (Black Tea-cored)
Talking about some of the best ‘Made In Japan' leather jackets, you can not ignore The Flat Head! Their latest version of the single-riders jacket is inspired by the original 1940s vintage models and made to an even higher standard by their highly skilled craftsmen in their famous Stockburg leather studio!

With wear, you will expect some more beautiful sheen and also some reddish-brown underneath coming up little by little.
This jacket is lined with their signature lightweight kersey rayon, which is made up of bamboo fibre. The material is antibacterial and also makes this horsehide jacket more breathable on warm days!

The back has twin iron buckles that allow you to adjust for different styling and layering in different seasons! The buckles are painted with brass, and with wear, you can expect both buckles will age to a crackled vintage look.
Fitting-wise, compared with the 1940s vintage versions, the sleeves are slimmer and shorter, and the body shape is more curved which fits perfectly for a modern fashionable look!
