They’re super soft, they’re stretchy, they had no break in time, and the ever so slightly unusual color makes for a great way to switch up my outfits. 20oz denim is a bit thick for hot weather.Color is pretty ‘loud’ to some people and it gets greener over time.These were $250 in store at Blue in Green, but you can get a pair of these bad boys for $213 online at Denimio right here:
Not super cheap, but a pretty reasonably price for Japanese denim, which usually runs over $300. It was nice to find this fit because Oni used to pretty much only sell stovepipe or wide, and while I do prefer high rises (I’ve got a really tall butt crack) the medium rise on Oni worked well enough. There’s a strong taper from the knees downward, making for a modern, slim-looking fit even on guys with thicker thighs. I can’t grow my arms for the life of me but I grow muscle very easily on my butt and thighs, so I need a good amount of room down there. I should note that most companies use vanity sizing so these Oni pants are probably closer to a 33-inch waist - what I’m trying to say is that you should be able to order your regular pant size. Most of my pants are a 32-inch waist and these are a 32 as well. I found these run true to size, or true enough. I normally use regular detergent but some Japanese denim brands like Momotaro, Samurai jeans make soap for denim. You can choose how you want to wear and wash, but we recommend soaking or washing once a month if you wear jeans every day. You may soak and hang dry though I personally machine wash my jeans. My jeans didn’t have the swoosh because they’re a special collaboration with Blue in Green.įor this, I just spoke to the guys at Blue in Green and here’s what they said: Speaking of the pockets, for many people the signature of Oni is this sort of angular swoosh that normally adorns them.
If you take a look at the back pockets, for instance, there are two slightly different tones of yellow in the stitching which I’ve seen someone call a “lemon tea” combo. Otherwise there are the Oni branded buttons, medium weight twill pocket bags, and there’s some dual tone stitching in some places as well. Something I really liked about these jeans is that the selvedge ID is pink, which adds a nice splash of color. I don’t have much interest in taking sides in these debates. These jeans get industrial washed once before you get them and then they’re shade dried - some say that means it’s not raw, some say it is, some say that means it’s unsanforized, some say it doesn’t. This waistpatch is made of deerskin, which looks like it got a little toasty when it was washed.
In any case I’m not about to try and tear these jeans apart, so I suppose you have to take a risk on the elastane. That said, Oni claims that the way they put elastane in the denim increases the durability. A published in Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europealso found that as the elastane increased the tensile strength decreased: going from 0.5 to 1.5 percent elastane made the tensile strength decrease by about 17 percent. Some fear that the elastane will give out and lose its shape. That said, it does have some potential downsides. That means that it drapes better than most thick denim but also it’s so stretchy that it legit feels like I’m wearing sweatpants, or at least they feel more like sweatpants than jeans, which is amazing. In fact, it feels buttery soft and - this is the kicker - stretchy, because it has 2 percent elastane. For reference, the average Levis are between 10 and 13 ounces and thus far, my heaviest jeans are my Studio d’Artisan D-003 Jeans at 15 ounces.
If you can believe it, this is 20-ounce denim. You can see examples of this around the pockets. It’s not as easy to see the twill as it is in something like Naked and Famous, and Oni is known for this: low tension, fuzzy, knotty denim that has such a loose weave that the stitching sometimes disappears into it. Now, it’s pretty hairy, nappy, slubby kind of denim. Not everyone likes this greenishness, but I think it’s subtle enough that makes for a really cool pair of jeans - they pop, but they’re far from ostentatious. The weft is beige (technically “ecru” is the color) so the color will also get a bit more dusty colored as it ages. (This denim has a reputation for fading relatively fast as well.) That is because the denim is greencast, meaning it’s dyed with green sulfur and then indigo to produce this bluish green color that reportedly becomes more green as it ages. Llet’s start with the color this is a really vibrant blue that is almost a bit like teal or sea green. There is so much to talk about with this denim.
