Asking just because but does anyone have the Orslow lady white co collab French work pants in Brown size 2 they're trying to get offload?.

I'll take recommendations for pants in that color as well

Does orSlow have any wool fatigue pants in their F/W lineup?

not sure about this year but they definitely have in the past. I briefly had a pair a few years back that unfortunately had a very small waist compared to all of the other orslow pants I've tried in the same size. also worth noting they were scratchy and unlined.

Re: scratchy and unlined, it's cold most of the year where I live, and I find that longjohns solve that scratchy problem, and the combo of lohnjohns and unlined wool pants is much more comfortable and breathable, easier to wear in different conditions and easier to maintain and clean than lined wool pants

I have those but don't find them particularly scratchy. Agree that the waist is a bit smaller but every Orslow fabric fits differently.

Did anyone’s 107s permanently shrink in the waist at all after an initial wash? Debating whether to wash mine first before taking to the tailor to have the waist taken in.

not permanently. the waist will stretch back out (and then some) after wearing a few times. that is assuming you mean the one wash, can't speak to the others.

Recently picked up a pair of 105 one wash

I’ve had the 107 one wash for about a year

I’ve worn Levi’s 501s for most of my life and it’s hard for me to imagine a better tweak on the 501 than the 105 (if the sizing works for you)

I totally get the argument that the 501 is perfect as is, but the 105 is a pretty modest tweak. It really stays true to the form IMO while just making it slightly more streamlined.

I also really like the 107s but if I’d gotten the 105s first I’m not sure I would have gone back for the 107s. For me, the 105s are more versatile and less trendy.

sizing is the major issue with orslow, IMO. I also tried the 105s in 2 yr wash and they fit fine but they were significantly tighter than the one wash. If you’re on the border of their sizing be careful about the significantly washed styles.

the 2 year wash was very tasteful for pre-faded jeans but I just have a philosophical issue with pre-faded jeans

I got the 105 one wash. I think the denim they use generally doesn't fade but I've been wearing mine for at least two months now and I'm not seeing anything aside from the back pockets. Does the one wash not fade much at all? Also, anyone have pictures of their faded orslow pieces?

The one wash will fade, just like any indigo-dyed denim will. Due to the slub, it's a little more resistant than other denim. You can always wash it to help the indigo loss along.

My 3-year-old one wash 107s. Well worn with lots of fading.
