American biker spirit. Japanese craftsmanship. A long-sleeve with character.

With the FN-TML-105 South Dakota, The Flat Head brings one of its popular biker prints to a high-quality long-sleeve made from traditionally crafted loopwheel cotton fabric. Inspired by American motorcycle culture, this shirt combines authentic vintage style with the uncompromising quality philosophy of Japanese craftsmanship.

The centerpiece is the exceptionally high-quality 100% cotton loopwheel fabric. It is manufactured on traditional circular knitting machines slowly and with low thread tension. The result is a pleasantly soft yet robust fabric with a smooth surface and a premium feel. It is precisely this traditional production method that makes the difference compared to many ordinary long-sleeves.

The striking South Dakota print captures the atmosphere of American motorcycle events and gives the shirt its unmistakable biker character. In Ivory, the design feels authentic and pleasantly understated – perfect paired with dark selvedge denim, a vintage leather jacket, or a classic workwear jacket.

The construction also shows how much attention to detail The Flat Head puts into its basics. The characteristic triple-needle stitching at the neckline helps keep the collar in shape permanently. Special twin-needle construction on the sleeves and side seams provides additional protection against abrasion. The print is applied in a way that allows it to blend even better into the fabric's surface over time.

Not just an ordinary long-sleeve, but a piece of authentic biker culture – made for those who appreciate vintage design, high-quality cotton, and genuine Japanese manufacturing.
