Orslow

Orslow was founded in 2005 in Kobe, Japan, by Ichiro Nakutsu. The name Orslow refers to the label's ethos of crafting clothes with care in response to the fast-paced fashion industry and modern society. Orslow prefers to take his time and pays close attention to fit, detail, fabric selection, and the manufacturing process. As a result, you get a refreshingly simple collection inspired by vintage military and workwear items that you can wear today and tomorrow.

Ichiro Nakutsu's obsession with denim began when his mother gave him a pair of overalls as a child. Since then, the designer and entrepreneur has become one of the world's most devoted selvedge collectors. His first collection pays homage to the many disparate references in his own wardrobe, while the name derives from the careful thought his team puts into each garment. Each of OrSlow's tough pieces is weaved on a traditional shuttle loom before being washed and aged for a uniquely vintage look, influenced by sixties Americana, Japanese military uniforms, and European workwear.
