BS United Oni Denim Pics

[commodorewheeler]

I think diff hardware, same denim.

Different arcs, patch, and pocket bag fabric as well. Basically an older version of the 18 oz model that BiG just got in.

[mikecch]

^^ Pretty much, just some minor specification changes from my 2009 edition.

It's the same pair really, just a 2010/2011 version.

[tvshooter]

I've got a pair with the same cut and same denim, just different pocket-fabric/patch/back-bocket stitching.

and what? you want to send them to me to beat up? i'll pm you my address!!!!

[Solix]

So according to BiG's site's current offerings the once "15oz Low Tension" was actually the 14oz Blue cut back with new detailing/hardware. Modified arcs look good.

yeah, I should have clarified. I just got too lazy to note the diff. Man I'm almost tempted to get another pair of blues just for the old patch.

I'll post some pics of my oni's when it is sunny. I haven't put much work on them recently, but they are such nice jeans.

Are those the 14 oz? I like the extra layer of denim on the bottom half of the back pockets.

i want those new 18oz soo bad. too many jeans!

[Solix]

too many jeans!

I just jumped on the Blues. I have too many jeans as well but I justified that I could compare the Blues after wear with the 13oz SExSC06s and the 15oz Samurai 0500s because of their similarities in weave and texture. Hehehe

It's important research.

[Solix]

It helps that I have all three. I can then do side-by-side comparisons.

I expect an 80-page research report in 12 months time. Periodic updates are also required.

Just picked up the new Oni Blue 32w at BiG yesterday. Gordon confirmed the new batch is the same 14oz denim as the old ones.

Super stoked. Impeccable service and hemming work from the boys at BiG as always. They even give a crisp, careful fold to the paper bag before handing it to you. Love that!

Took some time and removed the back arcs (sorry to any purists!). This 14oz denim is amazingly textured and irregular. Seems closer to my Strike Gold than any of the Sams I have/had.

I'm loving this vintage fit. Leg opening was 9" when raw, but between the shrink and the taper, they have a slim-ish fit.

how does the patch (new 18oz) hold up to hot water? i need these to shrink...

[Solix]

Why don't you just hot wash and machine dry? That usually gets 90% of the shrink the first time.

[mikecch]

how does the patch (new 18oz) hold up to hot water? i need these to shrink...

If you tell me what type of leather the patch is made of (type of animal, thickness, tannage, etc), I may be able to provide you with general advice.

I have no experience with the new patches, but if it's the dear skin patch like the previous batch of 2010, then they should be able handle water better than cowhide.

According to BiG, the new patches are indeed deerskin. All the same, I would recommend putting on a coat of Obenauf's LP before the soak to minimize the chances of cracking or disproportionate shrinking on the patch.

The thing to be careful with deerskin is if the leather is full of oils prior to being exposed to high heat, it will end up darkening dramatically (more so than cattlehide).

I would oil the patch a day before washing, and just prior to washing I would rub in a thin layer of wax based mixture into the leather, allowing it to dry and then washing it.

Although deerskin handles water better, it's never a good idea to wash any leather with very hot water.

Yeah, the LP definitely darkens the leather, regardless of whether it is deerskin or cowhide, but it does seem to darken the deerskin faster.

RxC contest jeans are drying, so today was spent with my Oni 1001-HM (Blue fit), sized up 1:

'Adjusting' the backpocket stitching on my 1001-HM and Ghost Armor jeans:

[shinobi2000]

wow, so simple yet effective in making them different

[shinobi2000]

Mikecch, may I do you the honor of following in your footsteps? Got these as part of BIG's Japan relief sale. I had absolutely no need for new jeans but they were so pretty and in my size and were the only ones left, I had to pull the trigger.

but I had the same problem as you, I was not a fan of the back pocket design.

Originally thought about taking the whole thing off but after seeing your pair, might also only take off one

Look how pretty the slubbiness is...

[LC_Miey]

fit is on good ! what size are those?
