OrSlow's 101 Dad's Fit jeans offer a blend of comfort and style with their roomy high rise and gently tapered wide leg design, inspired by 1990s aesthetics. Crafted from 13.5oz custom Japanese denim, these jeans are pre-washed for optimal fit and minimal shrinkage. Unique fades develop over time, enhancing the wearer's individual style. Featuring high-quality custom hardware, they appeal to those seeking well-crafted, versatile denim imbued with timeless character.
From the brand: OrSlow is consistently one of our most popular brands, and for good reason - their combinations of great fits, custom fabrics, and handsome styles fit easily into almost any wardrobe. Founded in 2005 by designer Ichiro Nakatsu, OrSlow takes its name from Ichiro’s desire to make the opposite of fast fashion, or ‘slow clothing’, as he would put it.
The 101 Dad's Fit is easily in our top 5 favorite denim cuts of all time — possibly even top 3. They've got a now-cool-again 1990s style fit, with a roomy high rise and wide leg that tapers very slightly below the knee. They feel wide without being baggy, comfortable and easy to wear with basically anything. The front closes up with a brass zip fly and the usual custom OrSlow button at the waist.
Almost every single person on our Berkeley staff has their own pair of OrSlow Dad's Fit jeans, each wearing and styling them in a wide variety of different ways with great effect.
They're made from OrSlow's custom wide (non-selvedge) denim. Woven with 100% cotton yarns and clocking in at about 13.5oz, it's a lower tension, slubby fabric with a soft hand and subtly hairy texture. OrSlow has given it a one wash treatment, handling most of the initial shrinkage and color loss, as well as relaxing the fabric into something that's broken in from the moment you put it on. Over time, the fabric will continue to relax from wear and washing, slowly developing unique fades for each different wearer.
Not sufficiently pleased stopping at only the fabric, orSlow also completely uses custom hardware. In this case, exposed and hidden copper rivets and bronze contrast thread. Little details, sure, but how much attention a brand pays to the little details is always telling, and orSlow pays a lot of attention.
