I'm strongly considering getting a pair of the 552 Natural Indigo GR, which use the 'secret' denim. I was hoping to get some feedback regarding shrinkage and stretching and sizing.

 

One of my best fitting denim is a pair of N&F WG in size 31, which has an actual waist around 33. So for these I was looking to get size 32 in raw, with a pre-soak waist of 34.5 (via denimio and BiG). Is it reasonable to expect that these will shrink to one-wash size, actual waist 32.5-33?

Also, with the 'secret' denim should I expect these to stretch out close to pre-soak measurements or do they surpass pre-soak?

 

For the first 'soak', I was planning on a hot soak for 1.5-2 hours and then a hot wash/cold rinse (no detergent) in the washing machine.

[oceansand]

my experience with ONI denim, 14 oz, and 16.5 oz XX,  has been that they will stretch out past the pre-soak measurements if needed.  i've always enjoyed the heck out of my ONI and would love to get into some secret denim one of these days, though I prefer the lighter weight so I am leaning towards the XXBE for the next pair of ONI. 

[unders]

Agree with Oceansand. The secret denim will easily stretch out to raw size and further with more wear. Suspect it may have something to do with the loose weave.

[TheSeaward]

Thank you for the feedback. Based off that, it seems I should size down to a 31 so that after stretching it should be a 33-34 inch waist and a 12-12.5 thigh. 

 

Were there any issues with shrinking?  I had heard that Oni's top block can be a little stubborn as it relates to shrinking to one-wash size

[cander49]

Re: the above, yeah, they stretch a lot, but I haven't had many pairs of raws that don't. I've gone up 10 pounds due to inactivity while finishing my PhD, and they've stretched nicely along with me.

 

Wife just repaired them, btw:

 

 

Crotch patched, and seams restitched with some extra black denim I had removed from Samurai hems:

 

 

 

 

 

My wife does a ridiculously good job with this stuff, to the point that it's always almost totally invisible from the outside as long as I catch it moderately early.

Denimio is having what i think to be a contest between samurai and ONI. thoughts?https://www.instagra...m/p/_6MEGAoL2u/  

don't know why the second link isn't clickable just paste in browser 

 

[Geeman]

Wouldn't Oni vs Momotaro make more sense? Peach boy vs the demon?

[chicote]

It would... but given the popularity of Samurai and ONI among Denimio's customer base overseas, I'd imagine that they see this as a much more sen$ible pairing...

X post from general thread..Posted Today, 09:09 PM

I have a pair of Oni 517. (Should have got the 512 fit in hindsight.) Theres a tiny blowout coming on the pocket from my phone which is annoying me. The jeans arent really worn and faded yet as I dont wear them that hard and have PBJ and SDA in main roatation. The begining of the hole sticks out to much for me as the jeans themselves still look relatively new.

In addition I can see the begining of failure at the fly, you know if the jeans are to tight the piece of denin the buttons attach to starts to pull away from the jean exposing the stiching and looking like its going to rip? Only these arent tight on me at all!

I think by now we all know that Oni arent hand made by a reclusive master weaver theres simply to many sizes and varients available and they have been easily available for long enough for their build quality and durability to be tested so whats peoples experience of them?

The reason I ask is that despite the above Im actually considering getting another pair in the 512 though this time possibly in the 16oz as the 14oz I have feel very thin and light.

Are my quality concerns founded or just an isolated issue?

[CatKillah]

I got the 546ZR last week, gave them a warm soak and a hot machine wash, the measurements (BiG style) pre- and post-soak as well as the fit picture after soaking:

Wait 36 - 34.6

Hip 22.5-21.25

Front 11 - 10.2

Back 15 - 14

Thigh 13 - 12.5

Knee 9.25 - 8.6

Hem 8.2 - 7.75

Fit looks good!

What is the tagged size of that pair?

Thanks. It's size 34 non wash.

Yes i am Pretty happy with the fit. But the topblock is still a bit roomy for my liking.

So i will do a second hot soak with only soaking the topblock.

From the thigh down they look perfect, so I really hope the second soak yields what you want.  I just ordered a pair of 512's in a 28 (I think the fit is the same or similar).  I was wondering what's your height/weight?  I really want my fit to be spot on.

I will post a review of the contest pair and provide updates on the contest once the pairs ship in April/May.

I am looking to get my first heavyweight jeans and have decided on the secret denim Oni-546ZR. These are tapered fit with mid rise?

 

I am worried about the sizing and was hoping anyone could help me.

I am 32.5 inch in the waist, so I think I should get a size 32 (34 inch waist), which after shrinkage should feel snug but then loosen out a bit after wearing. Would this be correct thinking?

[FeloniousMonk]

I've found Onis to run quite true-to-size, so if you are used to wearing a 32 in similar cuts then a 32 tag size will be the best fit. My jeans all tend to end up in the vicinity of a 31.5-32 waist after wear, and I wear tag size 31 in Oni.

 

I will say that the 546 fit feels like a bit of a lower rise than I had expected. Probably to some extent because the thighs and top block of the cut are on the slimmer side - Oni tends to have slightly smaller back rise on their jeans than most mid rise cuts I've tried.

Thanks =)

I usually buy sanforized, so I get 1 size lower in other brands (33 inch waist). But I want to buy unsanforized for my heavyweight jeans.

 

Would you say the 546 is a slim fit? Maybe the oni-527zr is a true slim fit, but I can't find it in stock anywhere

[FeloniousMonk]

Their 527 fits more like a 60s cut - a true mid/high rise with plenty of room in the thighs and butt, plus some taper from the knees down. Definitely not a slim cut. That's what I tend to prefer, so I actually sold off a pair of Onis that I had in the 546/517 cut and got the same denim in a 527 cut instead.

 

546 isn't their skinniest cut, I would call it more of a slim-tapered. Samurai's 710XX felt very similarly proportioned to me, if that helps.

 

If you're looking for a skinny cut, it looks like Oni now makes an even slimmer cut called the 506. But I've never seen that cut in person.

[Niro]

ah the slim tapered is exactly the fit I want. Thanks a lot for the info!

Made an account to share my Onis... Glad to finally discover some active enthusiasts

Ordered the secret denim Oni-546zr, excited to get them! 

[Contrast]

Tapered and hemmed my 502s. Might have gone a little too tight at the leg opening Â¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[renindra]

nice vintage pair, bloodynutz, make me want a pair for myself, but, I'm not into that heavyweight denim anymore, my last jeans was sam's 19oz and it feels hotter and hotter nowadays, so 14-17oz would be my perfect pair

 

 

 

Why is there no hype in this thread about the indigo/indigo fabric that Oni is going to release?

I'm interested in that lol
