been awhile since i've posted on this board. upping this thread as i'm working on a pair of one wash 811's! Pics to follow...

Got myself a 246 kabuki ear Oni denim at Hinoya. Can’t wait to work on them. I’ll post update pics in 6 months!

thanks BrownMetallic. yes long time. very long time. what's new around here? 

they're soaked.

Hi guys, long time no post for me. I just bought a new pair of Samurai 15th anniversary left hand twill. I just want your opinion on the fit? I felt like take5 BKK hemmed it half an inch too short. That said, these are low rise and I haven't really broken in long enough to judge how it turns out.

what do you guys think?

not si much buddy but i have a small group of guys here locally and we do share coffee and alcohol once a month

ping me. i'll try to join you.

how are you john ? got a twitter account?

all good here, thanks. haven't posted in awhile. i wonder how many pairs you have right now?

My 20th anniv WWII edition beside my 2 1/5 year old momotaros:

Hey Oni denim thread, someone asked for more pictures so I finally got around to it:

SHOAI's? Amazing fade! I need to work on mine.

Carrying these at one of our doors here in Manila. Managed to give them a quick look and they're definitely more modern pant than anything.

The denim, unwashed, has this subtle hairiness that should be enough to whet a "looking for something new, transitioning out of the mountaineer look to something more designer upscale, denim head's" appetite.

A bit sad though, upon feeling for the belt loop and finding that the lack of a bump. It's always a pleasant surprise to find that construction anomaly in the most random of labels.

Yeah, the size 5 in Homme was the one I tried on. they soaked it first and then i fit it. i like that its modern and made with japanese seledge. just a little bit too tapered for my taste and like i said, they run short.

tried it on. it was perfect...initially but the inseam is short. just 32.5 and i need a 34 inseam. too bad.

same way as how we treat our jap jeans, soak and then it'll shrink to fit 2-3inches?

indigo fades well?

i see it's a modern look not like levi's repros

How do you find the jeans, Edmond? looks nice noh?

by the way, ay of your size 34 jeans (unused) up for sale? i need another pair to work on as my momotaro's are nicely faded already. PM me. thanks

I got to try one and the cut is modern in a good way. Sort of Sorahikos. Indigo seems deeply dyed and its Made in USA. I'm a big fan of his oxford shirts and the ways it is styled and I was wondering if anyone here own a pair. I'd love to listen to your experience.

haven't posted in a long time. thought i'd want to share my momotaro 0905SP, 9 months 1 wash. sorry for the crappy phone pic. will post more later on.

anyone got a size 34 to spare? does this run true to size? interested to join! Thanks!

i think i would sell a kidney for a pair of old arc and tab oni blues

I was lucky enough to get a new, old stock of these.

haven't broken my Shoais though. those jeans are TOUGH

Cayetano - The Big Fall

all good. got caught by the denim bug again when i went to Ameyoko in Ueno.

I was in Tokyo 2 weeks ago and got myself a 0905SP. Boy, these jeans are really nice. Deep blue, Zimbabwe cotton similar to Sorahikos in cut. Quite modern.

Anyone got one that's been beaten up and broken down?

Thanks! Been a long time since I've posted here.

cheers!

it's great to see some of the seniors back on the board

nice to see you're still here!
