Hello.
This is Nishiyama from andPheb.
I am writing a lot of blog posts today.
Simply put, there are too many things I want to introduce...
It is a happy problem.
While busy introducing new arrivals, I am also doing a solid item pick-up blog.
This time, I would like to dig a little deeper into orSlow's classic items.
Re-introducing the classic coveralls: the 40s model and the 50s model.
Summer is coming to an end and we are seeing more cool days,
which makes this the perfect timing for coveralls.
I think everyone is tired of just wearing a T-shirt, right?
Throwing one on instantly makes you look stylish and gives you an autumn vibe.
Coveralls are an item I highly recommend right now.
And what I want to dig into today is: what is the difference between the 40s model and the 50s model?
Both are popular models representing orSlow,
and while they may look similar at a glance, they are quite different when compared.
The way the sleeves are attached, the pockets, the buttons, the stitching, and the overall silhouette.
This time, I will be wearing size 3 (L) for both to compare them. (177cm / 65kg)
Also, for the 40s model, I have a personal item that I have actually worn in, so I will introduce that as an aging sample.
Which one should I choose?
I hope this helps those who are wondering.
40s Model | A rugged and classic coverall
First, the 40s model.
The product code is (01-6150-81).

DENIM COVERALL 40's MODEL
01-6150 40’s DENIM COVERALL
MADE IN JAPAN
(01-6150-81)
¥39,600 (tax included)
As the name suggests, it is based on coveralls from around the 40s, and the set-in sleeves are a distinctive feature.
There are 3 patch pockets on the front.
It has 4 buttons, and the sewing mainly uses double-needle stitching that reminds one of that era.
It has an A-line silhouette that widens loosely toward the hem.
The length is also relatively short, making it a form that feels current.
Since the 40s was the wartime period, it is characterized by a rugged and classic atmosphere rather than being refined.
If you prefer that kind of clothing, I think the 40s model will suit you.
The fabric is the classic 9oz denim.
This is common to both the 40s and 50s models.
Since it is light ounce, you can wear it like a shirt.
The nep texture that reproduces the era is also attractive.
It is interesting how this nep texture settles down as you wear it out.
Here is my personal item (worn for 3 years).
I wash it hard without thinking about anything.
I even put it in the dryer.
However, since it was a one-wash model to begin with, there was almost no shrinkage.
Fading has started to appear on the collar and hem.
It makes me happy when I can visibly see my own unique color fading changes!
Also, if you wear it with your hands in the pockets, the pocket openings naturally start to sag.
I really like this rough texture as well.
Left: Personal item (worn for 3 years)
Right: New item
The color also changes quite a bit.
It has become quite blue, hasn't it?
The fabric, which was stiff at first, has become soft and supple.
Once it gets like this, you get attached to it, so it's hard to let go (laughs).
50s Model | Reproducing the completed form of the coverall
Next is the 50s model.
The product code is (03-6140-81).

DENIM COVERALL 50's MODEL
03-6140 50’s COVERALL UNISEX
MADE IN JAPAN
(03-6140-81)
¥41,800 (tax included)
A model based on a vintage masterpiece that can be called the "completed form of the coverall" from the 50s.
The easiest difference to see from the 40s model is the sleeve attachment.
This one has raglan sleeves.
Because the shoulder line connects smoothly, the atmosphere when worn is also a bit softer.
It also has ease of movement, and the stress-free comfort is also attractive.
Furthermore, the 4 asymmetrically placed pockets are also a feature.
Details like the watch pocket and triple-needle stitching are firmly incorporated, typical of workwear.
If you look at the fine details, such as the stitching on the patch pockets, you can see that it is very well-made.
The silhouette also changes quite a bit.
I am wearing the same size, but it has a slightly more vertical impression compared to the 40s model.
While it has the beauty of an A-line, combined with the raglan sleeves, the vertical impression is strong.
It is a slightly more refined and clean silhouette than the 40s model.
The fabric is also 9oz denim.
Please use this roughly like a shirt as well.
NEEDLES
H.D. Pant – Fatigue
(HD-FATIGUE)
¥26,400 (tax included)
What is certain for both models is that they go well with military pants.
The color of olive and denim.
The good compatibility between military and work.
I recommend it.
The biggest charm of orSlow's coveralls is that they are easy to wear casually.
I think that is common to both models.
Short length, boxy silhouette.
If you like a slightly rugged and classic mood, the 40s model.
Slightly vertical and clean silhouette.
If you want to enjoy the detailed nuances of the coverall, the 50s model.
That is my personal recommendation.
If you are choosing a coverall that you can wear for a long time, orSlow's coverall is definitely one you should consider.
Please come to the store and try on both the 40s and 50s models!!
We look forward to your visit and trying them on.
See you.
