Oni Denim
-
Sadly, it’s time for me to retire my beloved pair of Oni 211. And before anyone freaks out and says, “but they still have tons of life left in them!” know that the only reason they’re going into the closet is so that I can participate in the HWDC2. Otherwise, I’d still be wearing them, because they’re just now getting to the good looking stage. If only I weren’t such a slow fader. It’s a bit sad, really.
Here’s what they look like after nearly a year of daily wear and 9 machine washes.
Check out that streaky, uneven weave in my sorry butt fades
Love the Oni patch
-
Planning to do exactly that. They're a nice relaxed fit now, so I'd have to get really fat for them not to fit.
-
looking good chris. Im tempted by Oni….but that needing another pair of jeans like a hole in the head analogy applies here...

ONI x Naked Famous collab just landed at my door. Fucking amazing. Never seen anything like this denim. So much texture. It feels like they hid a few stories in Braille throughout the denim. Not too sure of Naked Famous's involvement in this collab as the jeans were made in Japan by ONI with ONI denim and do not fit like the NF weirdguy cut.
- 14.5oz super slubby and irregular weave (famous ONI selvedge denim)
- Unsanforized
- Copper rivets
- Black enamel coated buttons
- Hidden back pocket rivets
- Deerskin leather patch with double-name branding
- Union Special 43200G chain-stitched hems.
- All made in vintage American machinery in Okayama, Japan.

Oni are the fucking witches of slub. I love those, bet the fades are gonna be nuts.

The denim sure is amazing, Urbs. I've got the same denim in a different cut (pics were on the previous page, but have somehow vanished….hmmm). It's great for summer.
As far as I'm aware, all the N&F collabs are made entirely by the collaborating company (i.e. Momotaro, Flat Head, Oni), so you're getting the quality of that brand, but with N&F specs. I know N&F cops a lot of shit about being low quality and/or a gimmick brand, but I really rate their collabs highly.

If the fit is good, then that's gonna be a fun pair for you. I love my Oni jeans.

I had the natural indigo ones a couple of years back - mindblowing… If ants wanted to go up my pants, they'd 've needed a safety cord...

Yeah not sure what's up with that. Uploaded through tapatalk.

Can't see the pics either.
Want to hear how much these shrink - I was tempted by them but the short inseam had me scared.
-
-
I cold soaked them and they fit good. The rise is a little high but I think you're suppose to wear this fit a little low on the hips. Taper and thighs are perfect.
Zwer, I got these "used" (but they were brand new) so I'm not sure whether they were hemmed before I got them. But the inseam was 33in initially and they def shrank some.
-
Yeah, that's the unsoaked inseam length which is why I didn't bother hunting them down. Looking at the sizing table at Nordic Denim House, they've got the unsoaked waist at 39. You reckon that? I'd like to try them on.

finally i'm seeing some pics…that denim
No matter how good the pics are, and they are exceptional, the denim is even better when you're able to see it with your own eyes and actually touch the crazy texture.

Yeah mine measured 39in but are closer to 37in now, which is fine for me. I think they might be too big for you, unless you try the size 34 and only cold soak.

Completely agree. I just took some quick pics in my room but was a bit frustrated because I just felt like I couldn't get the texture across in an image.
