BS United Oni Denim Pics

[juzam6]

new 19oz model:

apparently the threads of the denim have polyester cores, wonder how that would affect fading... pretty interested in these, too bad even a 28 would be too big for me (these shrink only 1-2% after initial soak/wash).

Looks very similar to the 19oz Eternals. Too bad the painted on arcs are hideous

[fndmybetterhalf]

hmmmm. i dont know how I feel about th epainted arcs. reminds me of evisu mixed with rock and republic.

[datasupa]

it's becoming pretty obvious why the company is called BS united

I'm not a huge fan of the flamed denim (that applies to all flamed denim), but the jeans look just fine to me. Thou shalt not judge arcuates until fit pics.

I got my Oni Blues in the mail yesterday. Will post pictures before too long for reference. Loving the denim.

[BlueOctoberFan]

Wow... As if the flame denim and price point weren't enough to make me not want them...

[chantheman]

then what is the 3rd reason you dont want them? painted arcs?

[tweeds]

taking a leaf out of evisu's book, i quite like these painted arcs.

[viv1984viv]

I LOVE the stitching on onis, the different grades of thread thickness look really great.

Thanks for the info juzam6

[edmond]

those look like the denim on eternal anniversary model.. same supplier maybe?

[rome1]

Im in with tweeds on this one, I don't really mind the arcs, plus they'll probably deteriorate real cool over time.

haha you're welcome, viv. i constantly check hinoya's oni page hoping they would restock the washi in 28 and so happened to see these..

hm..i doubt their from the same supplier as i don't remember the denim on 872/eternal anniversarys having polyester cores. anyway it's nice to see them trying to come up with new stuff, i wonder what they'll do next?

oh, and keep in mind that these shrink only 1-2% as opposed to 8-10% on their regular models.

I personally don't like the idea of them trying to be a run of the mill type of denim maker, coming up with something different that would change the brand's image. It's good to innovate and make new styles but changing to painted arcs are not my notion of evolution in terms of where Oni's direction is headed. I mean changing of the arcs was necessary due to the Levi's infringement but painted ones is a lame take on Evisu.

[TallestMidget]

Meh they dont look to bad, I'm actually thinking about getting them.

[Tarmac]

Oni is one of the worst casualties of the Levis lawsuit. They went from one of the freshest to one of the ugliest arcs of all. Those vegdye arcs seriously do look like RAWK INN RUHPUBLICKS COPT at BLOOMIES. I still like oni blues but I would seam rip at least half of each arc immediately :confused:

[Guest jeffvyain]

have to 100% disagree. i think the new arcs are just fine. they don't look quite as good online, but having had them slapped on my bum, they don't bother me one bit. and the veg looks surprisingly great as can be seen a page back or so.

I already purchased a pair of the SHOAIs in 36, which turned out to be practically painted-on unfortunately so I rarely wear them. I'm thinking of replacing them with this new pair of the 19oz onis. Does anyone have a sizing chart for those Shoais in CM (the BiG one isn't quite accurate enough). I need to figure out if I will get a 38 or 36 in the new 19oz one... Thanks!

blm if you want the 19oz without the painted pockets I have a source for them for you .

price is $265 USD + shipping via paypal - he's a vari shop dude so reliable ..

pm me

[rollups]

The arcs look like they stick out from the back pockets a bit, is this annoying when sitting down?

The fit is nice n slim and the denim is similar to 872s. Looks like I have to cop soon . I like the arcs n im sure they will age nicely

I don't know about slim. These are the same fit as the Blue's right? I wouldn't call those slim either. I sized down 2 to a slimmish-straight fit. Just fyi.

[fndmybetterhalf]

hmmm... id cal Blue's slim actually. i mean its no skinny jean by any means but I sized down 1 and they fit fairly slim all around. sz 30 with roughly under 8 inch in leg opening, i'd say slim.

[BlueOctoberFan]

It all depends on your build. I find the Red fit to be fairly slim, and the blue would border on skin-tight.

[rirakuma]

Just looking at the pic they look pretty slim (not a77 or dior skinny but more like 710xx). I really like my 872s but theyre way too roomy all the way through. The waist fits perfect but the rise is high, very roomy on thigh and large hem. These looks like a 710xx cut but with the 872 denim which is what im after .

[fndmybetterhalf]

i would actually compare them prety accurately to 5000VX fit. 710 is a bit slimmer than these.

[fndmybetterhalf]

bumpppppp. john11f any updates on the pair of oni blues you had? id love to see how these fade...seems like theyre quite stubborn to fade.. i've been wearing mine a month straight and nothing good yet but im excited to see where these go.

[john11f]

sure. as soon as i get my hands on them. they are with my fiance in bangkok.

don't worry, after you get to month 4, fading will accelerate. actually, as soon as you get fades from abrasions.

in the meantime, an old pic i found...

[ndmhxc]

ive worn these for 6 months straight every day.

im gonna wash these in the ocean in about a week, so ill post more pictures...

and some detail shots...

[rirakuma]

nice onis john ! The denim looks very similar to the 710s
