I love Orslow, I have a few things from them. they're sometimes quite more expensive than other Japanese brands that make the same products (Japan blue, sugar cane, the strike gold...) so I also check out other brands because all these heritage brands sort of make the same stuff over and over. I have a type II denim jacket by the strike gold. And yeah, Orslow do not use leather patches.
Beautiful jacket! Orslow just doesn’t use leather patches on any of their products. I work in retail and have been selling the brand, which is outstanding- their 105 denim resembles a 501 from the 50’s and also features a jacron patch. Enjoy the jacket man!
Jacron started being used in the 50s, you Can see levis from the 50s some had jacron patches and others lesther but it was definetly around in the 50s. I believe lvc type 2 jacket also comes with jacron patch.
