I'd be interested in the type II since I've been digging that style of jacket lately!

That XX-BE fabric is the best fabric they make IMO. Not many people have handled it but it's beautiful.

Took some pictures after 4 weeks of wearing the Onis. Not sure why we haven't seen too many people with mega-faded pairs; these seem like they have potential to be the single fastest fading pair I've ever owned. I've decided not to enter them into the DWC, as two years is just too long for me to keep a pair of jeans going with all of my outdoors activity. These seem well made, but I want to have the option of getting a new pair 12 or 18 months down the line when they're inevitably destroyed beyond the point of repair.

 

 

 

First ski day in them was a couple weeks ago in very slushy Spring conditions at Deer Valley:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that the lower altitude Park City resorts are closed for the season, I'll be getting in probably two more days at Alta and then, if I'm lucky, a half dozen at Snowbird before they close in a month.

Has anyone got any fit pics or info about the 552ZR's

[autobiography]

Does anyone have fit pics or sizing info (stretching in the waist specifically) on the 575SV's?  

 

Interested in grabbing a pair but I'm unsure about the waist measurement.  BiG lists it as 32" for size 32, but I'm unsure whether that's 100% accurate.  I wear a 31 in N&F Elephant 2 WG's for reference with about an inch to spare in the waist, if that helps at all.  

[garden gnomes in space]

those are once washed so shrink should be minimal.  I would hit up BiG and ask about stretch, because while the shrink should be non existent, they might stretch up to an inch if enough pressure is put on the waist.  In my experience (not with Oni but Full Count) I sized down one because the thigh and rise were still ok and going in I knew the waist would stretch out easily.  

[Geeman]

My Oni were one wash, virtually no shrinkage after a hot soak and they stretch quite easy. 

[autobiography]

Okay, cool, thanks guys!  So basically what you're saying is that if I currently wear jeans with about a 33.5" waist (rough measurement I just took) and have a bit of room to spare, a size 32 with a 32" waist wouldn't be awful?

[Geeman]

I can wear a 31 WG and wear 31 in Oni with a comfortable fit on the waist

you'll be good with that.

Denimio now carries Oni!  Might not be news to some but its news to me.  Only have 2 cuts at this time but maybe they will expand in the future...

[Gazzer55555]

Does anyone have experience with N&F Weird guy fit?  I find if I go true to size on the waist then the thighs/crotch are too tight.  I have decided Oni, eithers 16.5oz or Secret Denim 20oz will be my new pair but I want to make sure on the fit.  I like a tapered style but there has to be more room in the top block.  From what I have researched the 517 looks as though it could work great, the 512 could be a git too tight.  Does anyone have experience with these cuts? 

[tigerstrom]

Measure the weird guys then compare with the Onis. That's the only way to find out if the Onis fit better.

[cander49]

2 1/2 - ish months in, new awesome camera phone (LG G4) with pretty true color (just darker than IRL). These jeans are going to fade crazy fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sadly, these don't seem like they're going to last super long without tearing. My cuff is already ripping slightly on the back of both legs.

 

 

 

Still, I love the texture and am excited as to what these will look like after even 6-9 months, as these seem to be much faster fading than my last two pairs (Samurai 710 and PBJ 013).

[renindra]

^which type is that?

the fading is pretty fast tho, what are you doing in them?

I'm kind of curious about how an Oni will look like if it's contrast faded, since I've never seen one that's really contrast, mostly vintage pairs

[spitfiredealer]

Cander you sure can fade pair of jeans!

Is that the 20oz secret denim?

I am just starting out in a pair

[cander49]

Yeah, they're the 20 oz secret denim. I live in Salt Lake City, UT and spend a ton of my free time in the mountains here. Today, for example, my fiancee and I woke up early, hiked halfway up Solitude Ski Resort, and played 18 holes of disc golf back down the mountain before going to work. I hike a lot, ski in my jeans a lot (granted, only 2 or 3 times in these so far), and play a ridiculous amount of disc golf these days, so I'm pretty active. No jeans here, but these pics from this morning give an idea of the terrain I spend my free time in:

After a long weekend in the mountains... Got to say that I'm pretty disappointed in the apparent lack of quality. This has happened on both cuffs simultaneously.

[tigerstrom]

That sucks man. That's too early to rip even for you

[Blue Nemo]

OMFG

i can not even articulate how much the idea of such a jacket drives me nuts...........

even though i am not such a fan of denim jackets, this one is just too good to let it pass!!!

[Broark]

I've been on the lookout for the type II variant that's also supposedly coming out myself...

[spitfiredealer]

That does sucks Cander. I am curious to see how mine hold up for the 2 years. I have 19 days constant wear and I can see some changes happening but nothing worth photographing.

[Blue Nemo]

that is going to be a cool one, I can not really determine if I prefer the type II or III. the type II design is rarer, but in the end it really only comes down to the measurements..

 

I go and ask the people at hinoya if they can save/reserve one for me as an early birthday gift, so far they are the epitome in service. maybe I am lucky, one or the other way

[Broark]

Interested to see what you hear back, they might end up being too small for me but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Been on the lookout for a type II for awhile now.

[Max Power]

The Type II looks really tempting indeed.

 

@ Cander: Would you really deem it low Quality or have they just been worn with a too long cuff? I walked with a too long cuff on my new Eternal 888 in the rain for 30 minutes and got rips too. Have worn them for months after that and the denim held up perfectly.

Honestly, I'm really disappointed to say that I think it's just the denim quality. The cuff isn't low enough to ever drag on the ground. It hits low on the ankle but never touches the ground or gets trampled in any way. I would think that maybe I had just dragged them somehow, but the crotch already looks somewhat thin too, and it appears that it will rip in under 6 months. I sized up to keep the crotch/waist/upper legs loose (prefer a loose fit up top), so no high quality denim should be ripping in under 6 months with that kind of fit. I was astonished when I got them in. They were always soft, never stiff, and just don't feel very thick for 21 oz. To be honest, I was kind of doubting that they were anywhere near 21 oz, just since my 19 oz Samurais seemed so much thicker and more heavy duty. I love the texture of these jeans and love the fit, so if I have to retire them after a year, I won't be super disappointed, but if the goal is to spend a few hundred dollars on a pair that will last a few years, this is just not the right pair to get. I think I'll try the 24 oz 710s that you guys are talking about on the Samurai thread or some Ironhearts next time out.

[BlackPig]

@Cander. Is your pair the 20oz secret denim? It's a shame if the quality isn't up to the standard us denimheads expect.  ONI Denim  is favourite brand.  For mine they have a good mix of cuts and denim. I have 3 pairs of ONIs;  271XX, 527OR and 517XXBE.  My 271XX has seen the most wear and is holding up really well.  No signs of crotch rip.  I believe they are better quality compared to my Samurais.  But all my raws are special in their own way.

[cander49]

Yeah, they're the 20 oz secret denim. The crotch rip is definitely still a ways out, but I can already tell that it's coming.

I was exactly the same when I got mine. Was convinced they weren't 20oz lol

[Max Power]

The tightness of the weave and amount of starch really tricks the mind. My WH 800 with 14 oz feel a lot lighter than my UES at 14,9 oz or my Eternals at 14,5 oz and I blame it on the softness of the denim.
