WTT NWOT Orslow regular fit green fatigues size 3 (L) for a size 2.

I want to confirm the size 2 opening though. I bought size 3 thinking it would be better and because I was told size 2 opening was 15” unbuttoned (vs 17” for size 3). If you have a size 2 with a ~16” opening let me know 🙌.

Hi all, big Orslow fan, have most of their denim (all in size 3) and all fit great (only frenchwork pants in 4). I just received a orslow BD Chino cloth oxford shirt in Size 5 for a great price, and the size is actually spot on (i am 6'4' 190 pounds).

I have been interested in green work shirts as well, should I follow the same sizing or would a size 4 work for other shirts/jackets/tops?

So I sized up because I had the chance to get one pair at a fairly decent price, and was surprised that the fit was good, very comfy with these pants. It works great but definitely need a belt and double hem (which I might get tailored but works fine as it is), so i guess its comfort vs size, they dont look oversize at all. Would probably get a size 3 if I could but really content with the size 4 for this pair of pants if you need a bit more room (which is pretty much the same for the 105 and 107, size 3 fits perfect but a bit snug on the pockets)

Can anybody tell me if I should order the sky blue 105s in the same size as the 2-year and one rinse or are the sky blues smaller to size due to the wash?
Most places have the waist measurement being a little smaller but I dunno if that’s just standard error, and Orslow measurements always seem a bit all over the place anyway.
thabks.

I've actually wondered the same thing... Maybe @shopcanoeclub could help us out?

So, I feel like a lot of people disagree with me, but I take the same size in every pant that OrSlow does, EXCEPT stuff that is super washed. So 2-years, I size up. To answer the question, though, I'd say if you have 2-years, order the same size in the sky blue.

Yeah I’ll answer my own question because I just got a pair of the sky blue 105s and the size 4 is the right size, same as my 2-year and one rinse 107s

This matches my experience with orslow denim but it’s not clear to me if fatigues should be considered “super washed.” They look pretty washed in most colors. This is one of the challenges of not being able to see things in person

their regular fit fatigues are a little tight in the waist in my experience, so I size up and belt if needed.

Does anybody own the Frans Boone 107 3 or 4 year washes?
Thoughts?
I have a pair of 107 in the 3 year wash. It's not from Frans Boone but I can confirm their sizing advice is right. The 3 year wash does fit a bit smaller than my one wash but I still take the same size in both.

As for the wash, my 3 year wash is a shade lighter than my 2 year wash. I am not sure I can tell the difference unless I lay them side-by-side or scrutinize them.
