BS United Oni Denim Pics

[PG2G]

I think I may actually be in the market for these soon. I could use a longer inseam than the AI's give me. Jomons probably wouldn't cut it either, since my sorahikos aren't much better off than the AI's.

Or maybe I'll just go back to synthetic indigo.

[john11f]

sorry to hear that man, BIG should be getting their shipment in soon enough

but pre-ordering has ended already.

[poly800rock]

yeah....i didn't preorder one either, but i'd call when gordon's around and ask him what's up, as he said he'd might have a handful leftover...i'm going to call him this week as I finally have the money for it

[john11f]

poly, if there's a spare size 32, can you give me a shout?

[poly800rock]

will do, will call later this week sometime, will send you a pm

[john11f]

i emailed gordon. he said they're leaving for japan tomorrow i guess to get the purples and whatever else. I hope they have a spare size 32.

[poly800rock]

yeah, just got a message back from him...i think the oni's leave japan tomorrow....I asked him about your size, no info back yet, he's holding a pair for me so hopefully this weekend i'll have a pair!!

[john11f]

yeah he told me he has a spare size 32 unallocated yet. what size are you in other jeans? how about your onis when you had it before that was too big?

[ayn]

damn, u guys are all picking up purple... nice...

[poly800rock]

i bought it too big....i bought a 32 oni blue one wash that fit ok in the store, lost some weight and i'm back down to a 30/29 or so...was going to go down to a 29 in these, but will brave it, and go down to a 28 (which fit me with room to spare in the store..will warm soak with em on probably)

[john11f]

cool. so if i'm a 33 in my blues (which has stretched quite substantially), sizing down to 32 would be ok then...

[Dick Danger]

damn, I missed the boat on these

[john11f]

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

[poly800rock]

cool. so if i'm a 33 in my blues (which has stretched quite substantially), sizing down to 32 would be ok then...

you should be fine going down 1, going down 2 is a risk....but going by how much my oni blue's stretched and advice from others, i think a 28 will stretch considerably...if not, supermarket...

[PG2G]

I'm the biggest damned flip flopper on earth, haha. I'll wait for you two to soak them and come back with measurements.

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

[ayn]

so just by how much do oni blues stretch out? more than an inch? maybe i should sell mine to tangerine before poly puts his purples on supermarket, LOL...

[poly800rock]

my pair stretched a good amount, for sure though, I would have gone with a 28 cuz the oni blue's def do stretch from my experience..

[ktouran6923]

I sized down 2 for my original size for my pre-order 19 oz from BIG glad to hear poly is saying these things stretch

by the way BIG is the only place to get denim, Gordon knowing I was a regular customer allowed me to make a down payment of 100 bucks for the preorder then pay in full when they get them in stock

thats fucking service and trust in a customer he's never even met in person

once i get em ill post pics/stats on stretch shrink etc..

[Dex_star]

I agree BiG goes above and beyond

anyway..

how do blues compare to s5000?

I have blues and am yet to soak cuz i kind of want to trade them in for some sdas cuz they dont seem slim enough for me

yeah, I told him last time i was up there that I was trying to do the preorder but didn't have the cash, and he asked why i didn't just put down a deposit? I'm used to business just not giving 2 shits about the customer, and Gordon goes well beyond ALL NEEDS and expectations. I truely admire the man for taking such a risk in the industry....

We're both crossing our fingers that these stretch.....as these are heavier than the blues, but hopefully it will be good, i plan on soaking these in hot water with a hanger in the waist....just in case...probably wear them raw for a week though....to get the stretching going...

[john11f]

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.

[__3xL]

Are you sure he measured the waist properly in like 3 parts ?

at the back INSIDE waistband > from that point to center of button > from the other back waist point to the middle of top button while button is at farest edge of hole ?

for accurate true waist size ?

reason I ask is Ive got waist measures before where they just double the waist and thats not accurate

[john11f]

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.

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...

[john11f]

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

[parachutes]

got these for one of my orders. even samurais dont stand put to the slubbiness of this one. i believe BiG stocked them as well?

I am not going to take responsibility for this though john.....it's a $550 mistake.....just my suggestion....I;m sizing down 2 if that makes you feel good....

[john11f]

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....

[PG2G]

I think if you were happy with how your blues fit, you should buy the same size as those. If they stretched too much, you may wanna size down. I'm always kinda scared about sizing down though

Though, if you get a 32 and they end up too small then they might fit me
