orSlow

Founded by designer Ichiro Nakatsu in 2005, orSlow is a Japanese label dedicated to reinterpreting classic American workwear through a slower, more deliberate lens. Based in Hyōgo, the brand takes cues from vintage Levi’s, US military fatigues, and mid-century denim, crafting garments with a lived-in sensibility. orSlow develops its own selvedge fabrics on vintage looms and sews each piece in small batches, prioritizing durability, comfort, and timeworn character. Standout styles like the 107 Ivy Fit jeans and US Army-inspired cargos reflect the brand’s fusion of Japanese precision and utilitarian Americana. Quietly iconic, orSlow’s collections invite wearers into a lifelong relationship with their clothing—one defined by patience, texture, and ease.
