WWII 40's US Navy Sumi Coated Linen Utility Trousers
A striking reinterpretation of 1940s military workwear, the WWII 40’s US Navy Sumi Coated Linen Utility Trousers by orSlow combine vintage functionality with a uniquely Japanese textile treatment.
Constructed in Japan from a linen-based fabric and finished with a traditional sumi (Japanese ink) coating, these trousers feature a dry, matte texture and a lived-in, monochromatic look that deepens with wear. The fabric offers breathability thanks to its linen content while the sumi coating adds a subtle, structured body and a muted black tone.
The wide-leg, high-rise silhouette stays true to the 1940s U.S. Navy work pant blueprint, with patch pockets, belt loops, and a button fly completing the utility-driven design. The look is distinctly archival, but the finish is entirely orSlow—quietly radical, deeply tactile, and unmistakably Japanese.
