![]() Measurements: I almost always choose one wash when I have the chance. I'm not planning on squeezing any lemons in my top block. Again, it’s giving me classic vintage vibes without feeling like a parachute. I like the fit all the way through the leg and down to the cuff. The rise is roomy and comfortable, without being a diaper rise, nor is it nut-crushingly low. It’s got classic vibes without being too wide in the leg. In the past I did wear tapered cuts and enjoyed them just fine, but I have moved on from that. *Note that finding my perfect fit has been a definite journey and evolution in my style. With my Red Wing Huntsman boots for example, I would prefer a wider leg than I would when wearing my Santalum PTC collab service boots. I much prefer a straight leg, and even within that arena I prefer to have different types of straight legs because I wear many different types of footwear. I’ve found that being a tall, lanky, athletic-built kinda dude, that wearing tapered cuts just doesn’t work for me. Everyone’s body is different and that is why different cuts exist. This is a pair that was initially released in 2018 and sold out with the quickness, however it was never released in this cut, which is one of my favorites, so needless to say I was very excited to have the opportunity to pick up a pair.Ĭut: Straight cuts and slim straight cuts are where it’s at for me personally. Today I am reviewing the Oni x Tanuki 21.5 oz collab in Tanuki’s own “Regular Straight” cut. ![]() For lack of a better analogy, no matter how much I love a restaurant, if I don’t love a particular meal, I won’t pretend that I do. Oni and Tanuki being two of my favorite brands, I would bet money that we’re in for something good, but I am going to do my best to leave my bias aside. In recent years Oishi-San has devoted himself to experimenting with widely varying grammages, rough textures, different indigo dyeing techniques and novelty cuts while always maintaining a very limited production and wielding his experience in denim which now goes back more than 60 years.Most of you already know that I am a big time “Denimhead”, and it is no secret that I am a huge fan of Oni and Tanuki. *Please, keep in mind that, due to low tension, “Secret Denim” fabric will stretch quite a bit, so if your jeans are a tight fit at the start, don’t worry because after just a few uses you will have gained the perfect fit. A high rise modern slim silhouette with a bit of extra room in the top block for comfort, tapering to a narrow leg opening. The cut is the iconic Oni 902 relaxed Tapered fit. The jeans are made with all the superior-quality ONI details such as black-coated doughnut buttons and hardware (to match the dark tone of the denim), high-quality pocket bags, heavy-duty bar tacks and a custom veg-tanned deerskin black leather patch. But if you wear and wash it more and more, gradually the weft yarn comes out, and the denim’s colour will change to dark blue indigo. So at first glance, you will feel it is black denim. This time, Mr Oishi used dark indigo for the warp yarn and black for the weft yarn. The result is a beefier, extremely knotty unsanforized 20oz fabric with a fantastic slub, roughness and hairy texture. He uses extra-thick 3.7 counts slab yarn for both the warp and weft of three different kinds of cotton woven at ultra-low tension on a vintage shuttle loom. Only Oishi-San can produce this denim, and no one else can reproduce it. First launched in 2012, the Secret Denim has been one of the most desirable denim fabrics by Denim Heads around the world due to its unique texture and incredible softness and comfort. One of the most important types of denim in recent years has been Oni’s Secret Denim.
