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.

Initial top 3 (+1)

Maybe my favourite SS collection ever, I don’t think there’s a single item I wouldn’t happily own.

At the end of the day, they can charge whatever they want for their product, and we can choose whether we want to pay it. I’ve no skin in the game given I own just a couple of their more “affordable” pieces.

But, as someone who was looking forward to splurging an already hefty sum on some stuff this year, I’ll have to look elsewhere at the markup they’re introducing. I’m sure they don’t take these decisions lightly and know that a lot of existing and loyal customers will now be priced out of buying.

Damn, was gonna treat myself to something for my 40th later this year. No way I'd even consider it with a 100% price jump - it's not like these items are cheap to begin with...

@Tom-Longarms loving your outfits lately. Really cool

@DeeDee85 cheers mate very lucky to have one

Need a new phone, swear the photo quality gets shittier by the day…

@Aetas I’m just lucky for the age difference between my 3. Triplets must be another level!

@BalticBob that looks really good on you man

Thing that I never realised about having 3 kids: increasing the number of kids has a dramatic impact on the vectors for chaos. 2 kids is simple, A vs B. Self contained and manageable.

But with 3 you’ve got a full-blown geopolitical landscape. Any argument can originate from any child, bounce unpredictably to another, and then somehow involve the third even if they were in a different room minding their own business. Alliances form and collapse in real time. I swear 90% of my time feels like mediating peace talks with 3 rogue nations who shared borders, bathrooms, and whose leaders have zero sense of proportion.

My eldest daughter was an incredibly fussy eater when she was little. For a while, we thought we must have done something wrong, not offered her the right foods or preserved, until my son came along and happily demolished any food in his path. That’s when we realised it’s down to the child, not the parent.
Now my youngest daughter is following in her big sister’s footsteps and is also quite fussy. But since my eldest eventually grew out of it, I’m hopeful that if we keep offering her different foods, she’ll eventually give them a try too.

Damn I was thinking I could make this, then remembered it’s my son’s birthday.

@meatmarketdenim1 thanks man - I haven’t kept count but it gets worn mostly in spring/autumn - or less cold winter days. To be honest, I wouldn’t say I’ve worn it particularly hard in the last couple of years, so I’m surprised how evolved it’s looking! The wash definitely brought out more silver tones

First wash definitely brought out some character in my 2 year old jacket.

@NickD yeah definitely. It’s the same fabric as the white tee I posted above - I believe it’s 11.5oz so pretty hefty!

This is their Dotsume Rib tee, which I really dig. It’s either a bit shorter in the body, or the ribbing causes it to sit slightly higher. Sleeves also flare a bit less due to the ribbing.

@jdwaid good shout on a longsleeve, will definitely grab some in the future. Their sweatshirts look great too. If I wasn’t set for beanies I’d like to try one, but I got like 8 lying around…

@SKT looove them, easiest wearing pair I’ve ever owned. Fades coming in slowly but with a really cool vertical character on the thighs.

Love this jacket.
