crappity crap crap

they have ONE in my size

pull the trigger DD!

mine was shipped the other day. hopefully, i can get them by monday. poly, pics as soon as you get them please....

there were reports that it might be abit tight in the tighs. my blues are perfect even if it's a bit loose. i figure the same size with these naturals would give a similar fit.

I LOVE ONI

really? they were supposed to hold one for me but I guess let go of it when I decided to go for the 33s. If you had given your interest early, he might have given you a crack at it.

basically, only 7 out of 22 is unaccounted for since last i heard.

switching the review of the purples here...BIG told me these would be similar to the fabric of the AI-001 but the tension of the fabric is not the same so it looks differently upon closer inspection. They are also made by the famous natural indigo dyers from the Tokushima prefecture and are made from the same big threads as the AIs.

so many jeans...only one pair of legs...

just ordered a size 33. hope it works for me....

they got em....gordon said he only got in a sz 29 though, so my sizing down 2 isnt going to happen....debating right now.

this is from gordon:

The Oni 19oz arrived today. Here are the measurements for size 33:

Waist - 35

F Rise - 12

B Rise - 15.5

Upper Thigh - 13.25

Knee - 10

Leg Opening - 9

Inseam - 36.75

shipping to asia is $40. they don't have them yet and he said he's been getting order changes and might have a size 33 available for me.

i figure i might just wait for you poly to get yours and see if i need to size down. hahaha

So after a lot of research and reading through this site, I've settled on a pair of Oni blues on being my next denim purchase.

I have nudie RRDS in a 32 (which are a just a tad too big after stretching) and LVC 47 501 in a 32 (which are slightly too small even after stretching.) After reading through this post and looking at the measurements on BiG, I am thinking a 32 in the blues will be the right size. Any thoughts? And any ideas when/if BiG will restock?

i have a RRDS in size 34 and fits perfect. i have a Oni blue in size 33 and fits perfect albeit a bit loose on the waist. hope that helps.

6ft, 180lbs. I have a size 33 oni blue. BIG ran out of 33 and only option is either a 32 or a 34. dilemma!

Man, this is a big dilemma. I may really have to size accordingly.

bump. any news from BIG yet?

after 2 months of wear, my edo ai's are finalling showing some signs of defined creases and fade. probably another 2 months and it's worth showing in this thread...

I remember them shrinking down to tag size, maybe smaller. Then stretching out to an inch to two larger than my waist. I would size down one for a good fit in the waist. The thighs fit correct for my waist size though, if you size down, and your thighs are like mine, they might be tight. I can't really just the waist too well now, i lost a lot of weight after i bought them studying for the MCAT and now i've gained a lot of weight back or maybe more so they feel snug again. Hope this helps, i'm fighting the lunesta so not all of this may be cohesive.

I think crisis described it best. I'm comfortable with size 33 but don't know if the 14oz vs 19oz difference will matter in stretching. But then the stretching will happen when you use them and I guess if the purples is as snug initially as the blues, then it will just expand up to how your body is shaped. I think stretching more than your waist happens because we bend our waist, slouch or whatever that it will cause some tension to the fabric. +++I don't know if I made sense+++

mine is size 33 but is now maybe a 33.5 or 34...

the stretched half an inch to an inch from tag size. I might size accordingly if the 33s are available. If they're not, I'm getting the 32. PG2G, you get first crack if they don't fit.

BIG says that it does fit like the blues except that it's a bit tight in the thighs which is probably caused by the thickness of the denim. they might have a 33 so i'm contemplating whether to size down 2 or not....

no the nando's must wait....oni's await me.

welcome to the gathering highlander...

poly are you getting a nando as well? do you have sorahikos? what's diff?

Don't worry john, I won't do anything til u got yours confirmed

Please do PG2G. Give me a reason to control my Oni addiction!

if they measure 34.5 now and you do a raw soak...you should have plenty of room to play with...i'd be really surprised if it shrunk a FULL 2.5". I got the greenlight for a pair of 28's, so I might give the man a ring tonight to seal the deal....shipping is WAY WAY WAY cheaper than NYC sales tax..

i'll take your word for it my man...anyways, my size 33 blues has stretched quite a bit. probably to about a 34 minimum...

not sure how he measured them but he was kind enough to say that he'll ask customers who bought for some feedback on stretching.

gordon just emailed me saying the size 32 is now waist 34.5 pre-soak and will shrink to tag size. different from the way hinoya measures their jeans which is post soak. i'm confused! should we get true to size and not size down? that's a mighty expensive mistake to come up with the wrong size.

DD, email BIG. They have a couple of pairs left unaccounted for.
