orslow denim is great, but its nothing like the brands you mention above, so if you are looking for that kind of denim I would go for one of those brands.
orslow slim fit is nice, by no means skinny but a good slim fit, the washes are also decent and the denim is comfy from the off

107 are near skinny fit, esp around the thighs so size up or go for 105s if you have thunder thighs

I think they've just picked a stump for a model with those

I have two pairs of the 107s and the Cargo trousers. I think they are based on the 501. They have faired well with around a years worth of constant use and are the only pairs that fit me properly. Trouble is that they are rarely on sale. Eyeing up the cords next.

i went for some 107's recently but got em used just in case. The fit was very skinny and had to get rid, might look into 105's

I've never seen 107s fit like that Peggs^
107 is based on a 1960s Levi's 505. So, similar to LVC 1967 505, but slightly more tapered.

@Hanto I've got the 6 Pocket Cargos in a size 4 and they're a good fit but have a fair bit of room in the thigh. Have the Fatigues too in a 4. Perfect fit but a fair bit slimmer through the leg. How do the 107s fit compared to the cargos?

I've got a few wool pieces and very impressed.
The wool pants in particular are thicker than my browns beach jacket.

I recently got the green New Yorker pants. Ace.

Sounds more like the fatigues. I have all mine in a 5 and the jeans are slightly more fitted in the thigh, but I prefer the taper to the 105s.

I would say that orslow are not specifically a denim brand, though that might be what they are known for outside of jp, the above mentioned jp denim brands focus much more heavily on denim as a material specifically in raw denim and often in very heavy weights (some with a motorcycle focus some not) I just don't think the products beyond being 5 pocket jeans are really that comparable.
If I was weighing up similar product it would be more like visvim denim vs orslow denim or LVC or RRL etc thats the group I would place them with.

Anyone know if the vintage fit stuff was a one-off for last season or if it will continue?

Nice one, I picked up the vintage fit chambray work shirt in the sales and really like the sizing so I'm glad it's going to continue.

Any sites people recommend for ordering from Japan?
Looks like Reggieshop is shut, but don't have my size listed anyway.
