Beautiful piece Joey- I felt the same way about a pair of Japanese denim I spent roughly the same amount on. Initial hesitation, but I just love the way they look, and the craftsmanship that went into them. They’ve aged with me through the years; the patinas and stains a various memory of happy days. Let’s spend our money on things that truly add joy to our lives… we can’t take it with us!

I have a set of the original OG107's Utilities that these are based on, I should really break them out more often, the pockets on the originals are massive. Shout out to the successors, the Jungle uniform in poplin, those are also bangers.

My only issue with these pants that I can’t get over is how shallow the front pockets are. Ended up picking up a pair of samurai bakers pants in olive. I found these pants to be an upgrade in every aspect over the Orslows. If you are ever at a Self Edge take a look at them in hand. The quality is top notch. I will say outside of the pockets the orslows are a great pair despite not wearing my pair anymore.

“But man, have you tried them on?” And with that, nothing more really needs to be said with combative blowhards who just don’t get the simple joy of putting on really comfortable clothes that you want to live in.

I bought a pair in brown and took them with me as I backpacked for 4 months. Insanely comfortable, and the Southeast Asia sun accelerated the patina which I love. Excited to read more about pants!

I love the "made for long affection" tag as well.
