orSlow
Founded in 2005 by designer and vintage archivist Ichiro Nakatsu, Hyogo-based orSlow stands as a direct antithesis to fast fashion. Built around a core philosophy of "originality" and "slowness," every garment is meticulously constructed in Japan using low-tension shuttle looms, rare vintage sewing machines, and custom-milled textiles engineered to age gracefully. Their collection centers on legendary heritage styles, including custom-woven Japanese selvedge denim, authentic US Army fatigue pants, and heavy-duty 1950s coveralls. At Uncle Otis, we’ve long shared this dedication to enduring quality and utility, proudly collaborating directly with Nakatsu on several exclusive SMU (Special Make Up) releases. Every stitch, thread weight, and fabric weight reflects an obsessive commitment to historical craftsmanship over fleeting seasonal trends. Built slowly from the ground up, these are timeless daily uniforms crafted to outlast the cycle and only get better with wear.
