White Chambray Work Shirt

Look no further for a crisp white chambray work shirt. The orSlow White Chambray Work Shirtis a perfect year-round shirt, but even better during the Spring/summer months for a lighter palette outfit. orSlow details on this work shirt include triple stitched seams and the accompanying chainstitch...

Thank you, sir!

this is very helpful. I am actually thinking if I might even need size 4, but I am almost sure not. I was also thinking about a desert/beige colourway but as I was searching for photos of original jungle shirts in that colour it seems that it was only issued in army green or camo in Vietnam war era? So I might get olive and start searching for another type of army shirt or jacket in desert colour.


it looks great!

Hey sorry for the late response!

I took some quick pictures yesterday (sorry for the awkardness hehe) so you can see the fit. I'm 177cm 73kg medium/slim body frame. Usually a size Medium 38 in most brands, wearing a size 2 with a western denim shirt underneath.



As you can see, fit is good with a light layer but I still have room to wear a shetland, a fleece or other mid layer. I would be able to still button the jacket up, not with a ton of room but not too tight or restrictive.

I tried a size 3 aswell and as I said before it didn't look goofy or too oversized worn with 2 layers underneath, but I looked a bit big if wanted to wear only a tee or a shirt. It's a nice all-year round piece, but more suited in my opinion to spring/summer(chilly nights) or fall, so I ended up taking the smaller size.

I prefer other orSlow pieces in a size 3, like the fatigue shirt for example, but the cut of this jungle jacket is more roomy and forgiving.

Hope this helps

@mak1277 I just bought this very shirt last week in person at Standard and Strange in N.Y.

Ditto the 107s I got during Ron Herman’s OOB sale. Still cannot believe so much production has moved considering an outline of Japan is on their logo and that same outline is on my reverse weave hoodie and a t-shirt.

This was a brand built on being Japanese. While I have no doubt construction constraints are real, there are other options that have thus far not had to move construction. Really have been digging on UES and when purchasing directly from them, the prices are really fair.

How was your experience buying directly from UES? Their website looks pretty sketchy and I didn’t see info on shipping costs to USA, so a little skeptical.

Website is really janky for sure. However, they are awesome and DHL gets even to Hawaii where I live really fast. Quicker than UPS Ground from West to East coast.

Shipping shows at checkout once you enter the information. Still works out a good bit cheaper than ordering from a US retailer albeit returns I am guessing not cheap back to Japan.

Only way to order is with PayPal and I have had zero issues and have placed 4 orders from them.

Hey guys, new to denim and orslow. I recently received a pair of Levis 501 hemp selvedge and the fit was really tight at the thigh. I decided to upgrade and pivot over to the Orslow 105. Its my understanding that the Orslow 105 is designed after the levis 501. Is it safe to say i'll run into the same problems fit wise on the 105?

Also side question for you denim heads:

If pants are hemmed, can they still regain roping?

Just compare the measurements to your pair vs the 105's. There are size charts available at most stockists. If they are chainstitched hemmed they will regain the roping.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Roping happens when a sewn hem creates tension in the fabric. This can happen with any type of stitch, not just a chain stitch. Chain stitching generally creates a lot of tension, so roping is usually much more visible and prominent when chain stitching is used. If you want to create the stereotypical denim roping, you should get it chain stitched. However, technically, roping can occur without a chain stitch if there is the right amount of tension.

Chain stitching also is not the sturdiest stitch. Some people use a lock stitch on denim. It is more durable and probably will still create roping.

Best description I’ve read about chain stitching vs regular lock stitch, durability isn’t always at the top of a denimhead’s wish list.

Agreed with all points. Just more pronounced with a chainstitch, less obvious on lock stitch. I usually have my denim hemmed with a double chainstitch to help with the durability factor

105 is pretty safe for us with bigger thighs. I can’t fit my thigs in any of the Levi’s vintage collection 501s for example.



About the roping. Not all chainstitch machines create roping. There must be diffenrence in the feeding speed of the bottom feed dog and top sewing foot and that causes the fabric to twist and wrinkle. End result we are so interested in is basically a flaw in the sewing machines. This flaw has been corrected in modern chainstitch machines and these machines mostly sew perfectly flat seams. Best roping in my denim collection is by Union Special 43200G. Luckily the place I use for hemming just bought their own 43200G.
