orSlow is a Japanese label founded in 2005 by pattern maker Ichiro Nakatsu, whose name pairs "original" with a deliberately "slow" way of making clothes. The collection reproduces and reinterprets mid-century American workwear and military garments: 105 standard-fit and 107 slim five-pocket jeans, 1950s-cut selvedge denim, US Army fatigue pants, chambray and cotton shirting, and field-jacket style outerwear. Garments are cut in small runs at Japanese factories on vintage machinery, using loom-woven selvedge denim and natural fabrics that fade with wear. Distribution runs through specialist menswear retailers worldwide.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | regular to slightly boxy vintage workshirt cut with a fairly straight body | regular, occasionally a touch short for tucking on taller wearers | Most wearers take one size up from their normal (size 3 for a typical medium), and size 4 if you want a genuinely relaxed drape. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | runs small | military-derived fatigue and utility cuts that are relaxed and high-rise through the seat and thigh | long, usually with extra length to cuff or hem | Size up one from your usual numeric expectation for the waist, but don't expect a slim leg — these are meant to sit loose. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | runs small | 105 is a straight, roomy standard fit with a high-ish rise; 107 is noticeably slimmer and tapered; 1950s cut sits between with more thigh room | generally long inseams intended to be cuffed or hemmed | Go by the tagged waist measurement and expect to take one number above your usual US waist; most report one-wash pairs give up very little after washing while raw pairs relax about an inch in the waist. | medium |
| Jackets | runs small | boxy, straight military and chore silhouettes with room in the chest but narrow-ish shoulders | regular to slightly cropped in the body, sleeves can read short | Size up at least one for layering over a knit or sweatshirt, especially if you have broader shoulders. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | boxy with a wide-ish neck and set-in vintage proportions | regular to slightly short | Size up if you want anything other than a close vintage fit, and allow for a little shrinkage in the length. | low |
Does orSlow run big or small?
orSlow runs small. Treat the numeric tags as Japanese sizing and size up one from your usual US size on tops and outerwear (size 3 ≈ US M/L), while buying jeans to the tagged waist measurement rather than the number. Shoppers consistently report that orSlow's numeric sizing runs a size smaller than US labelling, so most people end up one size above their usual, even though the garments themselves are cut with roomy mid-century proportions.
