Interest check:

Anyone interested in a brand new pair of Oni Blues with original arcs and tab? (tagged W32)

Posted

^ Which generation arcuates? My friend may be interested.

@ shinobi2000: Did you end up modifying the arcuates?

Posted

I'm pretty sure the fit for the Blues hasn't changed. I'll takes pictures and measurements when I put them up in the Supermarket but for now here's the sizing chart from BIG

Mmm, BIG's sizing is a wee different (larger actually) from the blue fits I have though...

Posted

^ Haha, depends whether my friend wants it or not.

There's no way I can fit into a size 32 first gen blue fit :P

Anyway, I'm saving for a pair of Samurai's b_F ;)

Oh that note though, my blue fits from 2008 and 2010 both fit differently. The older ones were definitely much slimmer (if tagged size the same.)

Yes, i took off one line...then couldn't help myself and took off both. Call me a purist but I just like my back pockets clean and empty.

i'm saving my bullits for the new production + updated cut of Shoais. Gordon said it could out by Aug_ if all goes well.

that & a pair of Sorahiko 2011 & i'll be happy as a clam__ for this year.

wait wait. can i get more deets?

are we talking about the shoais..like the $500 pair of jeans?

Posted

Think they were closer to $600, and with the dollar tanking like it is, the new version will probably be even higher. I'm guessing around $750. Hopefully, I'll be wrong about that, cause I'd love a pair.

I got a pair of those in the wrong size a few years back. Sold em to some dude in france. Wish I'd gotten the correct size the first time around.

Be warned - that denim shrinks like a MOTHERFUCKER. I think the legs must have shrunk up like 3-4 inches

Posted
That denim looks a lot like the Shoai denim. Are those hank dyed?

That is the new Shoai denim, hank-dyed yes (I think.)

Not going to kop these, as my other Oni's need much more love, but keen to see someone grab a pair and do a pic review ;)

blm14 or others with Shoai experience, does the streakiness eventually blend and become a uniform indigo color and does the waist shrink 2 inches or so? thanks

Posted

The whole thing shrinks a lot. Mine were skin-tight and I wore them during the soak so the waist didnt shrink much (although had I done a normal soak I'm sure they would have given how much the legs did)...

I didn't keep them long enough to see what happens with the streakiness. :(

Posted

the last version shrank a good deal and did not stretch out much.

they never blended in for me but only inconsistent wear...

on the fence about the new ones

Posted

Thanks Stacks. I too am on the fence. I pre-ordered from the first batch but when I saw the streakiness (in pics), opted for a pair of PBJ - Ai-001. This second run makes me want them again because of the beautiful texture but the streaks still put me off . Is the streakiness as noticeable as appears in the pics? It didn't seem so from the post wash pics I saw of the new Samurai OSG.
