OrSlow

@GraemeE agreed I took the larger size on my or slow fatigues for the inseam length and definitely feel like I could have went a size down and been better in the waist and still a good length.

X-Post - slim fatigues, really nice fabric, great for spring/summer wear. Really like the fatigue shorts as well

[AdamJ]

so good, worn mine this week. I want a black and ecru pair!

@Tago-Mago How are you finding the breathability on hot days? I have a pair of I+W fatigues but they tore in less than a year and I quickly realized I won't be able to wear 21oz denim all summer long. I have an Orslow fatigue shirt and love it so I assume the pants are just as easy wearing.

[AdamJ]

They are way more breathable than denim, I wore them a lot in NYC last summer where it was 32+ with ease

[Tago Mago]

@catdad1 I can only speak to the shorts as I only got the trousers a few weeks ago. Fabric is super breathable and light, feels lovely when wearing them

@catdad1

They have my go to for the last three summers(green and ecru). I’m in Atlanta where it’s 90 to 98° all summer long and I never get too warm in them. IMO more breathable than some of the other ones that are out there like SDA, etc..

[AdamJ]

Only issue is in the UK they are quite hard to get hold of. Luckily we've got a man who knows how to get things in @Ben

[catdad1]

All the convincing I need. Thanks fellas

Cross post from a couple weeks ago… Orslow pockets T’s are pretty great too, not too heavy.

The T, pant and the tall JL desert boots will a weekend uniform for me throughout the summer

@AdamJ

Not sure if this is “cool”
or not, but I use Buyee for my last few purchases direct from Japan.

I don’t do that for IH. Only you guys and my state side stockists. I promise.

[AdamJ]

Had never heard of Buyee but now I certainly want a "sniper" button on our website

[will6er]

Isn't the whole store just a Sniper paradigm at 4:00pm on release days!?!

meadowweb.com in Sweden has a huge orSlow range and still not ridiculous prices. I’ve escaped import fees for all my orders so far too

[Tago Mago]

@AdamJ what about Burg & Schild? I think you may have heard of them

[AdamJ]

@Tago-Mago Withered Fig seem to have the best collection state side, and the Ecru ones I'm after!

Went on their website to check out those white ecru fatigues. (Seinfeld voice) - What’s the deal with ecrew? How does it compare with their reverse sateen?

edit
googled “Ecru” which just means unbleached cream colour. So I guess it’s still reverse sateen.

@AdamJ

A buddy from the stitchdown discord turned me onto them. I just use the proxy service. I saved maybe $50 or so a pair. I don’t mind paying retail here for most things but fatigues are fatigues. I have $60 pairs that rival Orslow…

[Paul9221]

@northsouthdenimguy I just picked up those JL desert boots. I knew they'd be good, but they ended up being amazing!

+1 for Orslow fatigues in summer temps, although have only worn mine in the mid 20s.

For those in the UK, Kafka mercantile have a good selection of Orslow pieces priced slightly lower than other UK stores I’ve seen. I got my fatigues from there for about £180, whereas other stores have them for ~£220.
