351VF.40 - 12oz Loopwheeled Sweatpant Vintage Washed - Army
Merz b. Schwanen - 12oz Loopwheeled Sweatpant Vintage Washed - Army
Merz has been on our list for quite some time. Can you believe they've been around for 111 years? That's currently our oldest brand! They've stuck around because they do something quite incredible with basics. They stand behind the idea that basics can be something to get excited about. So they create the best and put their iconic branding on just the tags. We're so happy to introduce this German line to our store. In the same way we correlate Japanese production to meticulous attention to detail, we correlate German production to impeccable engineering. We hope you love these super-engineered basics!
Vintage times two! While fabric made on their original loopwheelers in Germany itself has a unique vintage feel, Merz takes it even a step further! How? These authentically made pieces have undergone a special pigment dying process: thanks to this particular treatment, these pieces receive an exceptional vintage optic.
These easy-going sweatpants bring back the vibe from back then. The vintage optic, along with the elastic band on the leg, may remind you of your favorite sweatpants you've already owned almost your whole life — but new and even better.

Fit Notes: They're clocking these pants as an oversized fit. Our guess is that they made them a little roomier to accommodate the shrink from the wash. Shop Owner Tommy was easily able to wear a small in these. He is 5'10," 165lbs, with a 32-33" waist, and typically wears a North American drawstring pant S, and a Japanese M.
Apparel
In our tenure, we've never carried a sandal or a slide. Nothing ever really spoke to us until this plain weave denim version. The wonderful manufacturers at Malibu have taken what looks a lot like elongated belt loops and created an incredible woven upper to go with their proprietary 3-piece outsole unit wrapped in Natural Malaysian Crepe gum soles. This particular denim is likely the same they use for the 105 and 107 models as it's woven on a machine that can only make 50 meters a day - nice and slow like orSlow likes it. This is an elevated slide for us. It's something you can wear around the house if you like but is meant to be worn on the streets. It's a blend of "our" world with denim and crepe soles and a world we haven't previously dipped our toes in. And this one feels a heck of a lot like the 2-year wash we love so much (we're certain they used a very similar process). The combo creates something incredibly unique that really has us buzzing.

03-7058-61 - Hawaiian Short - Black
It's very rare that we get a pair of shorts in the shop. orSlow is one of the only brands we're willing to grab them from. Of course, we had to grab the green version of these. It's a staple. They fit a lot like the fatigue you know and love, just with a little less leg. They're gonna be perfect for the heat we're bound to experience this Summer. You can't wear pants 365 days a year, so for those other days, orSlow's shorts definitely come in handy.
The New Yorker silhouette from orSlow is an easy-to-wear casual style with an elastic waistband. This time around they've been cut with a military ripstop fabric which could not be a more perfect fit for orSlow. The sumi black steps them up to a whole other level. There's such a lack of black shorts on the market, and these solve that problem. This ripstop is beautifully textured while staying breathable - a perfect mix of tech fabric and heritage design.
These bad boys were a shot at nostalgia for us. They bring us right back to the 90s. After we got the jacket, we couldn't stop ourselves with the pants. You can do a full coverall painted kit if you want. And this time, we really wanted the paint splatter. We had such good luck with the first round of these, we thought, "Why not give it a shot?" And they're done so tastefully that they become a pant everyone wants to rock. These have all of the classic features including that left-hand loop for your hammer and a slot on the right for many other tools. The massive pockets and subtle arcuate only add to the wonderfully fun nature of these pants. And, they're soft as all get out. This is a true workwear fit with enough room to do almost anything.
