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.
Our first ONI offering just so happens to be the denim that made them world famous. The 20oz Secret denim is known for its low tension and comfort. That's the real beauty of this selvedge - it fades like a 20oz pair of denim without feeling like it. It's truly remarkable how light the fabric feels especially after they've given it a gentle Tempi wash. There is a bit of a twist with this iteration, however. They have created quite a mashup by combining the style of weaving with the details of the Kabuki fabric. The rope-dyed indigo is known for having a green tone (and trust us, it really does when it fades), while the Kabuki denim has a off-white or ecru finish for the weft. You also get that incredible tri-tone selvedge ID. We're circling back around for more Kabuki selvedge as it's always going to be one of our favorites.

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.
