@AdamJ if it makes you feel any better, I'm still the same 36 I was 5 years ago when I bought my first pair of IH at the ripe old age of 38

@AdamJ

58 here, a relative fossil compared to you

I had 3 pair of the regular fit. I loved everything about them, except the rise which I found to be just too long for my liking.

I’d love it if the slim fit and just a touch more hem width. Everything else about them is pretty loose fitting (for me).

Maybe there’s a new product for IH to consider … a sateen cotton pant based on the 634 cut …

I’m just a few years away from wearing a Moo Moo

@Brandrea

I think they have a bunch of fatigues coming out for spring/summer not sure about the exact cuts on them

[Brandrea]

@northsouthdenimguy I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled

@Brandrea said in OrSlow:

Thats ultimately why I made the switch.

The slim is pretty generous fitting until it starts to taper toward the hem

[Brandrea]

IH are you listening?

@AdamJ when I was 30 I tried on a pair of W34 634 and the hem was so comically large for me at that time that I just could not make it work in my mind. Now I am 35 years old, wear a W36 634 and they are not only way more comfortable than my old 555s, they don't even feel that much wider now.

I’m not posting for any reason other that to express my deep fondness and gratitude towards my Orslow fatigues. For some reason (the colour? the texture?) they make me feel calm and relaxed. They’re so comfortable and versatile. They look great with a white tee and denim or chambray shirt. I wore them to a yoga weekender with my wife and they were perfect. I can sit lotus in them when I meditate.

When I bust or really fade a pair of jeans, I think “cool now I can try a new denim!!” If/when I bust my orslow pants, I’ll think “I need to buy those exact pants again”. They’re magical.

@jerkules 100% agree on all points

[AdamJ]

can't wait for warmer weather to wear mine again. And hopefully acquire a black or ecru pair

@AdamJ from my understanding, their black this year is actually black with no reddish brown cast. I need to get a khaki pair of slim fit this year. It’s the only colour I don’t have. Amazing pants!

[AdamJ]

@Chibs is there a new black colour being launched this year?!

[Chibs]

@AdamJ yep but my understanding is it’s not a new SKU. They’re just replacing the not really black models from before with actual black now. This could be good or bad depending on your point of view. I really liked the reddish / brownish black from last year so I’m glad I got the pants and fatigue shirt now. It’s an unusual colour and I dig it!

Edit: this is my source for the “updated black” timestamped (Skip to exactly 15 minutes in if timestamp link doesn’t work)

@AdamJ I hear this great brand "Iron Heart" is releasing black baker pants this spring/summer. May be worth a look

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Tago-Mago

Just get them all

[Brandrea]

@Tago-Mago I can’t wait to compare them.
