ONI has been our holy grail brand from the very beginning, and we've finally been able to build a relationship with the brand and owner Masao Oishi. The brand is as old school and secretive as it appears. They use traditional construction methods to create low-tension, irregular, slubby denim that has a cult following. Their selvedge tickles the ancient part of our brain that makes us love denim so much. ONI does one thing and they do it to perfection. We can't wait to explore their wonderful world of fabric and fits with you guys.
Every time we think we've seen it all, ONI pops up with an incredible new fabrication that blows our hair back. This time, they've picked an extremely slubby fabric with little tufts and offshoots that poke through the fabric to create fleck. Oishi wanted this denim to look like the concrete on Japan's roads and sidewalks. By using a super loose tension, they not only allowed the texture to pock through the weave but kept the denim airy for wearing during the summer months. For being lightweight (comparatively) it doesn't feel any less substantial than the hardy stuff. There are all the ONI bells and whistles including a wonderful red line selvedge this round! These are beyond special and we're proud to be carrying them.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 33 in this Relaxed Straight fit. Surprisingly, this is his standard size in most denim these days. They were absolutely perfect in the waist with extra room in the thighs, knee, and leg opening. The Relaxed Straight has just a bit more room in the legs than its Regular Straight predecessor. This is ONI's roomiest fit and is built for guys with big legs, or guys looking to rock a fashion cut. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs, with a 32-33" waist.
