Founded  by Masayoshi Kobayashi-san in Nagano, Japan 1996.  Born from the founder's curiosity and insatiable inquisitiveness, the Flat Head brand incorporates a strong admiration for mid-century America. The brand represents free and cool American culture of that era, while integrating with Japanese mastermade manufacturing. The Flat Head is about the wearer's story of creating a unique product after the garment is broken in and worn. "We are particular about our clothes".
