OrSlow - WWII 40's US Navy Sumi Coated Linen Utility Trousers (BLACK)

$345.00

A striking reinterpretation of 1940s military workwear, the WWII 40’s US Navy Sumi Coated Linen Utility Trousers by orSlow combine vintage functionality with a uniquely Japanese textile treatment. Constructed in Japan from a linen-based fabric and finished with a traditional sumi (Japanese ink) coating, these trousers feature a dry, matte texture and a lived-in, monochromatic look that deepens with wear. The fabric offers breathability thanks to its linen content while the sumi coating adds a subtle, structured body and a muted black tone.

The wide-leg, high-rise silhouette stays true to the 1940s U.S. Navy work pant blueprint, with patch pockets, belt loops, and a button fly completing the utility-driven design. The look is distinctly archival, but the finish is entirely orSlow—quietly radical, deeply tactile, and unmistakably Japanese.

  • The fit is a similar to a '67 505 fit, with a short inseam for that Ivy look, right above the shoe. The white denim is custom for OrSlow, with a nice slub to it - made from 100% cotton yarns and finished with a rinse for softness, it's comfortable from day one and only gets better.

    Not sufficiently pleased stopping at only the fabric, OrSlow also completely uses custom hardware. In this case, an oxidized copper button & rivets as well as a period-authentic zipper for the fly. Little details, sure, but how much attention a brand pays to the little details is always telling, and OrSlow pays a lot of attention.

Each piece has been made in Japan using specialist machinery and locally sourced materials. OrSlow's designer Ichiro Nakasu has been collecting and obsessing over vintage military and workwear since childhood. As a result, OrSlow's collection rings with familiarity. From time-tested five pocket denim to 50's workwear jackets cut from contemporary synthetic fabrics, OrSlow has a foot each in the past and the future.
