    I may have been a snob, but Oni was one of the first raw denim brands I was familiar with, so I was definitely no expert. Doesn’t take any familiarity to see that marketing was just goofy. 

    It was a light hearted remark.

    IIRC didn't N&F really push the secluded denim master story when they bought out an Oni collab? They did something similar with Kamikaze Attack as well 

  2. Agreed,  the initial marketing put a lot of us denim snobs  experts off.  I've had 2 or 3 pairs in the past, I prefer a slimmer fit but the fabrics were a bit to much for me.. I think the level of slub just made the fades weird. 

    The 14oz fabric was crap, paper thin. 16 oz was better and 20 oz secret is OK... until it fades. 

    Their over dyed black (Azumi?)  was quite nice. 

    PBJ are well ahead for fabric.

  3. I got made redundant about 6 months ago after 20+ years at the same company (I've got a new job,  start next week) and the downtime between roles has been great! 

    I had to make a rule of no PlayStation till after 2pm though or I'd still be in my dressing gown playing games on the sofa when the wife got in from work!

    ^ Too close of a belt–shoes match ends up looking contrived fast; you’re better off with just a brown + black, or at most a couple shades of each

    Yeah pretty much what I said. I have black and a pale veg tan (now aged but still lighter) so a mid darker shade for when wearing darker brown shoes.

  5. If you can find the raw measurements they will give you the amount it will stretch back out in the waist. 

    If the thigh and rise mm's work for you it sounds like you will be OK but I haven't experienced the 25oz denim personally. 

  6. @yung_flynn given your tall frame I think most fits look slimmer on you , similar to Kyle. The same fits on me would look very different. 

    These look promising and look forward to more detailed feedback, measurements and the decision on keeping them!

    Can someone confirm actual post wash measurements of the 224 in a 30 or 31?

     

  8. Bears were fine marking down for me. 

    The tyrants at DHL held my parcel though until I could prove they were bought at the marked value. Bears really tried to help out by scanning and emailing me a till receipt that was all in Japanese to provide 'proof ' Then DHL contacted Bears and Bears communicated back and forth with me and them until it was sorted. 

    Top guys. 

    After all the back and forth we begrudgingly declared full value and DHL released the package without any charges anyway 🤔
