orSlow Dad's Fit Denim 1010W | 1 Wash (Color 81)
The quintessential 90s silhouette, perfected.
orSlow's 101 Dad’s Fit Denim is a direct nod to the comfortable, anti-fashion aesthetic of the 1990s. Unlike the brand's standard 105 or 107 models, the 101 is cut with a deliberately generous top block and a relaxed straight leg that tapers ever-so-slightly toward the hem. The result is a vintage-inspired silhouette that looks authentically "lived-in" from the very first wear.
Crafted in Japan from proprietary 13oz indigo denim, this fabric has been subjected to a "One Wash" rinse process. This not only removes the initial stiffness and shrinkage associated with raw denim but also brings out a soft, neppy texture that usually takes months to achieve. Finished with a period-correct zipper fly and a paper waist patch, these are the ultimate "grab-and-go" jeans for a relaxed, contemporary look.
- Fabric: 13oz proprietary Japanese denim (100% Cotton).
- Fit: "Dad's Fit" (101) High rise, roomy thigh, and a relaxed straight leg with a subtle taper.
- Wash: "One Wash" (One Year Wash) Pre-rinsed to eliminate shrinkage and provide immediate softness.
- Details: Zip fly with top button closure, oxidized copper rivets, and a vintage-style paper waist patch.
- Origin: Made in Japan.
- How it Fits: These run relaxed and slightly large by design to achieve the intended silhouette.
Technical Fit Details
-
Fly: Zipper Fly.
-
Note: This is a crucial detail. Unlike the button fly found on the 105 and 107 models, the 101 uses a zipper to stay true to the authentic "Dad" jean specs of the 1990s.
-
-
Rise: High Rise.
-
Sits comfortably above the hips, providing a deep top block that enhances the relaxed aesthetic.
-
-
Leg Shape: Relaxed Taper.
-
The leg is cut with a generous thigh and knee but features a gentle taper down to the hem. It is not a wide-leg pant throughout; the taper prevents it from swallowing your shoes.
-
-
Fabric Weight: 13oz.
-
This is slightly lighter than the standard 13.5–13.7oz denim used on the 105 Standard Fit, making it softer and drapier right from the start.
-
-
Selvedge: Non-Selvedge.
-
To maintain historical accuracy for a mass-market 90s jean, these are typically finished with an overlocked outseam rather than a selvedge ID.
-
Recommendation:
- For the intended "Dad" look: Take your standard orSlow size (e.g., if you wear a size 2 in the 105, take a size 2 here).
- For a standard fit: You can size down one size for a cleaner, less baggy look, though the waist may be snug.
