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

@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.

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…

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

[jerkules]

+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.

@Paul9221

Nice! Did you pick up the short ones or the tall?

[Chibs]

The black fatigues are awesome. More of a deep brown of you compare it with something actually black. Really happy with these.

@Chibs This shot convinced me to get myself the black fatigues. Great pants!

[Chibs]

@stitchdown-shell
Nice! Matching fatigue shirt should get here this week. Even more excited about it now that I know it’s actual colour.

I think it's considered the tall ones. The LK-044? Absolutely love them!

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Paul9221

I really like the tall one. I’ve had shorter desert boots over the years, which are nice, but these are really cool.

I’m interested in the Army Fatigues but even in size 5 the waist is too small (16.73”). I’m a 35 in most IH denim and usually aim for a waist size that’s 17.5+

Can anyone offer up any advice on sizing?

[GraemeE]

@Brandrea it's possible that since there is a button adjustment tab on either side that the measurement you are seeing is on the smallest setting ??

I'm around your same waist measurement in ih and have 2 size 4 orslow fatigue pants that fit great

[ZackB]

Agreed, I got the size for my waist measurement and definitely could have sized down 1 still.

[GraemeE]

@Brandrea

These are my size 4 at the largest button adjustment
