I really liked the reddish / brownish black

Same here

Im sure i could find a good use for the "true black " but glad i got the older style in case it doesnt make an appearance again

[GraemeE]

X-post these are the older style black

@Brandrea As discussed in the WRUW thread this morning, I needed to check these tiger camo pants as soon as I found them in stock at a local shop.
Upon initial inspection I noticed that they didn’t feel anything like my reverse sateen fatigue pants. Nnnnnope! Not near as soft. Looking closer I could see the square stitch pattern indicative of ripstop. They're still 100% cotton but not nearly as nice a hand feel as their reverse sateen. Bummed, I still tried them on. Gave a look in the mirror and then I was even more bummed because I had to buy them.

They’re just too fecking cool.. Whatever. The great thing about regular fit is they've got button fly instead of zipper. I like Orslow's military buttons.

Also tried on the IH Military western moleskin. It was so stiff! Assuming it loosens up after a bunch of wear but It felt restrictive in the arms, especially at the shoulders. Really nice shirt but I just left with the pants. I told the staff there's no way I was leaving without those pants. haha. 12 year old Chibs definitely approves but I expect a very low WAF.

@Chibs

Bravo

They looks so cool! I hope you enjoy them.

Blue Owl?

@Brandrea Thanks! As you can tell an emotional attachment was formed as soon as I looked at them in the mirror. This was at Blue button shop. I think I may have got their last size 3.

Just found out it comes in a "Utility shirt?" WTF this has got to stop.
WANT!!!

@Chibs I’d get a high WAF on those, she loves camo!

[NickD]

Orslow French work pants. So comfortable, I definitely need more of these

[GraemeE]

@NickD those look great

Are they the regular or wide fit?

[NickD]

@GraemeE regular fit.

@NickD dig the Jackie Robinson too

[NickD]

@SKT thanks, I love the Ebbets Field caps.

[SKT]

@NickD same, I’d like to pick one of those up

[Chibs]

Thrifted this from eBay.

Smitten with it! This Cotten ripstop poplin is so light and cool, I can definitely see why the original was used in Vietnam. It’s basically like the ultimate summer chore coat. If any of you know which year Orslow made this, please let me know.

Orslow chambray, still undecided if too big or fit is good.

[will6er]

@Cymro Looks good to me.

FWIW I have the same issue - a 5 is baggy (they often call them oversized) and a 4 not quite baggy enough. I have decided to not worry to much and just enjoy - fabrics are always amazing

[Chibs]

You can always shrink in the wash too. My Buzz Rickson chambray was too big and now fits perfect.
