105 - Standard Fit Denim - One Wash
orSlow - 105 - Standard Fit Denim - One Wash
Pleased is an understatement when it comes to the fact that we're working with orSlow. They've been on our brand "bucket list" for a while, so when we had a chance to see the line live in New York a few years back...we knew it was only a matter of time. The brand is everything we love - vintage-inspired designs with a modern branding approach and quality at the forefront of their ethos. It's all in the name, as they're the antidote to modern fast fashion...they do things slowly!
The 105 is an icon at this point. We're just the latest to get our hands on it. It existed in all its glory before we came along, and it will hopefully exist long after. The first thing everyone notices with this pair is the verdigris (patina) that forms on the copper rivets. It's funny how simple things like this get us going...but we're simple and they know that it's the small details that tug our heartstrings. The fabric itself is as traditional as can be. It's a 13.5oz proprietary denim meant to mimic that of the 66' 501. It's got just the tiniest amount of slub, but lots of really nice hair. Looking at it on the microscopic level is like looking through a field of dandelions. Scope all the details below on this pair that does all the small things right.
- 13.5oz Proprietary Denim

A variance of +/- .5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: We bought this round a little conservatively as we weren't sure about sizing. Tommy seems to be fitting a (2) across the board, from pants to shirting and is what he's wearing in the pictures. This fit is a more roomy, standard fit as you can see. The waist fits great and there's plenty of extra room in the legs for those guys looking for a straighter cut with the slightest amount of taper. Tommy is 5'10," 162lbs with between a 32-33" waist.
Apparel
This one has been on the list for some time. A modified Type III is the holy grail for us. Yes, we love the classics, and unfettered type iii's and ii's will always have a special place in the world of fashion; but, if you put handwarmer pockets on a hamburger...it's going to become the best damn hamburger in the world. Iron Heart's 21oz denim is what they're known for, but we don't always get to see it in this gorgeous superblack fabric. It's tough as nails, stays darker for longer than your typical black selvedge, and has all the signature Iron Heart details for which we thirst. If you've been waiting on this jacket to land, don't skip it. We probably won't be able to get it again for some time. Scope all the details below.
We fell in love with Iron Heart's Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel wovens last year...a love affair that continues into the crew neck. It's a killer new iteration on the Ultra Heavyweight series that we think a lot of you have been waiting for. It's built with a little bit more length in the body which will likely pay off after the first wash and dry. We have found their slightly lighter counterpart to be one of the most versatile pieces in the lineup, and we see this being no different. The only changeup is that you can wear this as a final layer piece on those 40 degree and up days. We have a very good feeling about these babies.

It's been some time since we've had indigo denim from Freenote, and we couldn't think of a better introduction than this blue/brown. If you know anything about our preferences, you know we love an earth-tone weft. Well, it doesn't get any more earthy than this. The brown on these is deeper than any we've seen from persimmon, turmeric, or catechu dyes in the past. It's a true mocha-colored brown that we think makes for one hell of a stylistic denim. The contrast between indigo and brown is a lot less harsh than that of a traditional jean, and this makes for a better-looking cuff in our opinion. It's also right in our sweet spot for weight. We really dig anything between 14-16oz. It has the perfect amount of crunch to give you all of those wonderful lines around the legs without being so hard to break in. This is the fabric we've been waiting for Freenote to work with for years!
