I think enough people here have a pair of Ono-san's jeans that it warrants its own thread.

My initial post in the "Unknown Thread"

[julian-wolf]

Do they still ever make jeans for direct orders, or just through other brands like Jelado? I always wanted a pair but never got around to ordering (so it goes)

The last time I stopped by Roy Slaper’s shop to pick up an order, he was wearing a pair (I think??), and he said they were some of his favorites he’d worn, which is just about the highest praise as far as I’m concerned

For that matter, are they still doing those T-shirts? Do / did they ever do them without pockets?

Here's his website, it covers a few of his other projects: https://rebuilt.jp/
Need to wash and take some photos of my pair, I enjoy them but they're the slightest bit too tapered at the hem in my opinion.
@julian-wolf I think he's paused on taking orders for the time being, however I haven't spoken with him in awhile now. Should reach out and see how he's doing.
He is still making the YM Factory tees, and I've never seen them without a pocket. But he's made some other variations without a pocket, never tried them out. There's some more info on the website.

Besides working with Jelado he has also made a 506 type 1 jacket and 1937 jeans for Cushman both with the Solide buckle/cinch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I think he also made the pocket t-shirts for Cushman.

I was trying to order a pair via Instagram a while back, he sent me some size charts then stopped responding to my messages so I just gave up.  They look like nice jeans and I'm hoping to get a pair someday.

Yes he is doing a lot of OEM work these days. Last release of his jeans were April 2024. I don't know but hope he will do some work for his brand again

The run of cinch back jeans he made for Silver & Gold are still available in a few sizes:

Same thing happened to me. We were at the point of finalizing the order then he stopped responding. He must have taken on too much at that time.

I was fortunate enough to order a pair from Ono-san, and they remain among my favorite jeans. Prior to that, I had been messaging him on Instagram for quite a while without receiving a response. After I received my order, we kept corresponding on Instagram for some time, about books, jazz, color theory.

Lost a ton of weight in Japan and fortunately fit into my pair again, which also coincides with me wanting to wear slimmer cuts lately. I ordered mine around 2020, a '37 cut with a modern taper (like 2000's 501's) so I might be breaking them in again. Glad to finally get around to it!

How did you manage it? A special diet, or…?

All the walking I bet. When I was in Japan, I lost weight while eating a ton. Averaged like 25k steps a day...

Haha yeah this exactly, happens to me every time! Average 20k steps per day, smaller portion sizes, stopped working out (lost muscle mass), overall heat killed the appetite compounded by being there for over a month! Goal is to live there permanently by end of year, so hoping to keep off the weight long term

A buddy took a trip to Tokyo to visit a friend who teaches English there. He said he (and his body) were so impressed by the quality of the food there; even at convenience stores. Here in the states there’s just so much garbage that silently makes it into our food.

Walk a lot, eat little, and only high-quality food. Seems like a win-win option.

Here, in Ukraine in wartime conditions, many people cope with stress by eating more. Maybe they’re storing fat just in case. That applies to me too. One way or another, I keep seeing lots of people who are overweight.

Yeah I noticed one of the stockists for the Cushman x Rebuilt 1937 Jeans was talking this up - (google translate from Junk House West) https://item.rakuten.co.jp/junkhousewest/003208/

Quote

Previously, "CUSHMAN" sold jeans with the same strict name as this one under the double name of the "CONNERS SEWING FACTORY" workshop. . .
※The "CONNERS SEWING FACTORY" workshop is developing the original brand "ONE PIECE OF ROCK"!

However, it has been many years since the number of orders for items has exceeded the capacity of the workshop, and the popularity of the original brand "ONE PIECE OF ROCK" itself has increased year by year, and the delivery time is stable. I couldn't provide jeans anymore...
Now we have to wait 2 to 3 years from the time we place an order to the arrival, so "CUSHMAN" does not actually accept orders.

So this time, with full satisfaction, the craftsmen of the "CONNERS SEWING FACTORY" workshop received a professor (trained) in denim production, and the factory "rebuilt.jp" run by the master We specially commissioned a production and lead to release a new "ultimate obsession" jeans!

 

"rebuilt.jp (librapondus Waist Overall)"
There are many [vintage sewing machines (SINGER/UNION SPECIAL/etc)] that were used in the United States from the 1920s to the 50s, and the sewing machines of that era are still in operation, a first-class rare in the world. It's Aktory!
It is created by the hands of a skilled craftsman by analyzing and analyzing while following the sewing method of the time, from cutting to finishing, and we are making jeans with the "ultimate attention"!
And, as mentioned above, the fact that the craftsman of the "CONNERS SEWING FACTORY" workshop, which is currently boiling in popularity, received a professor (was training) in denim production, and the craftsman who is his master runs the fact It's Lee!

I've been wearing my LB40s again the last few days, forgot how nice they are.
A lot of the seams have a similar three dimensionality that the Slash have.
I just wish they were a little less tapered and the selvedge ID was a little more narrow. I've just been wearing them uncuffed to avoid looking at it.
Hoping that Ono gets back to making his own line of jeans again, I really like his stuff.

[Broark]

Just wanted to bump this thread, while I haven't been wearing the 40's much of late they are nice.
Feels like they could stand a couple inches chopped off the length.
Disregard the dying plant beds behind me, we're in a pretty bad drought and everything is kind of dying.  

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I rarely wear my pair as well but they are indeed nice jeans

[Broark]

I just wish they were a tad less tapered, it's hard to tell with them uncuffed but the hem is on the small side for a WWII cut.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They are definitely quite tapered. But with his customization service (when he still took orders) this could have been addresses  

[Broark]

You're not wrong! A bit of oversight on my part.  
Really hoping he continues to release stuff under his own brand, been pretty quite lately.

[Lorcan]

He made a run of 1915 model for YM Factory but only 15 pairs lol. Looked nice tho

[shredwin_206]

They’re killer. I know this tattoo artist on IG who is super into denim and he sent me some photos of his pair. 

[CSL]

No belt loops or suspender buttons. That's a bold move!

I have the LVC somewhere. Don't recall if they were they 1915, or 1916.

Who'se the tattoo artist Shredwin?

Edited March 27 by CSL

[shredwin_206]

@CSL his name is ron_tattoo_shiryudoh   
he only posts tattoos on his page, but posts denim on his stories regularly. He’s got an insane collection of vintage as well as some really small unheard of Japanese brands.

Cinch though. What else do ya need? I'd buy (but I won't). 

Cinch has become my favorite pre war detail, the functionality is unmatched - I tend to use it much more than a belt anyways!

I love cinch as well, however I find it only works as good as a belt with untucked shirts (which must work well for you, you untucker )
