new project: Slubiest denim

[poly800rock]

those oni's aren't washed yet tweeds....in the flesh they are about on par with the one wash pbj' AI. the wash will bring it out...

[tweeds]

ants in my pants?

that's what i think of when i see the AI.

when you're speaking of oni, are you referring to the general blue/red stuff, or the vege one?

[PG2G]

There is oni blue/red ($225), oni vedge blue/red (same as others but natural indigo, $250), and the oni 19oz ($550). Oni Vedge and the new limited edition 19 oz ones are different.

[poly800rock]

the 19oz one. i compare it to the PBJ AI's, same price, natural indigo, etc.

the regular ones still stand on their own against PBJ though

[einolu]

the pbjs have a tighter weave than the onis, fyi. both very stubbly,

Are you sure that the vedge denim is natural indigo? It says Pure indigo on the BiG site.

[PG2G]

I could be wrong. The normal oni say pure indigo also though. It would be pretty cheap for natural indigo...

[percy]

i often wondered what real diff between oni and oni-vedge was.. considering such a small price diff. i like the selvedge on the pockets though.. and it has a diff label.

the pbj puts me off because of having such small crotch area. i need to be able to breathe!

[mizanation]

oni-vedge is synthetic indigo. the "vedge" part refers to the selvage arcuate on the pockets, i think--as in, "selvedge". not as in "veggie" indigo.

there are a few options for very slubby denim. but i think fit, weight, wear, and price are just as important if not more important.

another option for slubby are warehouse duckdiggers. they are pretty slubby after one wash.

also, the texas cotton samurai S0500XX Limited Edition. that's a really slubby jean, but good luck finding it now.

also, don't forget about the old standby's, the sugarcane satokibi's. the okinawas, edo-ai's and especially the hawaii's are really slubby.

i wouldn't get caught up so much on slubiness, there are many options, so other factors should be considered.

[Ahlvahroe]

are you only going indigo, cause this is very slubby, while persimmon dyed. http://www.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/119698/303245/

but then again its the same denim as oni, or at least i am pretty sure it is.

[cheapmuthafukr]

miz... how does the S0500XX compare to onis and PBJ for slubbiness?

[blm14]

The denim on all of the cheaper PBJs (XX-003/XX-004/XX-005) is the same. The XX-006 is no slubby, so don't look at that one. I believe the denim on the Oni's is the same too, so just pick whichever fit works for you.

XX-005 for skinny low rise

XX-004 for skinny boot cut

Oni Blue/XX-003 for regular

Oni Red for relaxed

I think the 005 and 006 are made of the same denim. I didnt see any obvious differences last time I was at BiG

I could be wrong again, haven't seen them in person. Just going by the pics and what I thought I read around here Miz?

[mizanation]

CMF: the S0500XX limited editions are really slubby. but the thing that sets them apart is the short fibers which give them that hairy, almost spotted look--the oni's and the pbj's don't have this. the denim on the S0500XX limited editions is very special indeed. i hope samurai makes more with that type of texas cotton denim.

PG2G: the 005 and the 006 have completely different denim--the 006 has a lighter color and is less slubby. however, it wears superbly, producing a beautiful range of colors and shades over time. in fact, if they made a 005 with the same denim as the 006, i would get it instantly.

not the same ones.

?????

[Raw Selvedge]

The S0500XX limited edition and normal S0500XX are exactly the same except for the serial number and upsidedown "A" right?

[Dick Danger]

plus the limited is just better

[poly800rock]

?????

not true, 006 is smooth, non slubby...

[synthi]

How about weft slub?

I'm waiting for one of the Japanese labels to have really slubby warp and weft threads! And to come back to the original question, if it's slubby + reasonably priced, to me there is only one choice - Warehouse 1950 or 1930 Duckdiggers, just over $200 at BIG. As Ringring has said numerous times the denim is just awesome.

[__3xL]

So that's all they do when making ultra slubby jeans is reverse the jean " inside out " replacing the weft and warp with the indigo vice versa ?

jeesh so simple so effective

[synthi]

^ Huh?! Not sure I totally get what you mean but it doesn't sound accurate.

Uhm isn't that an 005 black?

[poopslush]

Who makes the most slubby denim out there?

BS United? PBJ? Others?

[Double D]

Oni?

[poopslush]

Oni?

theyre BS Uniteds, Ive got a pair on now.

[salaami]

from personal experience, oni denim is the slubbiest denim ive ever laid eyes or hands on. the limited edition 190z. are to me nothing but slubs. these are my fantasy fetish pair for right now. as soon as i get the funds...

[khaltire]

synthi, what kind of jeans are those in that pic with the blue selvage? looks nuts

[justinbaily21]

Uhm isn't that an 005 black?

No, they are not.

[lowrider]

See that rouge warp knot? There are a lot of those all over my KMW AWA. Don't know if the Oni Shoai or PBJ AI001 are like that.

Here's another one on the right thigh (in the blurry section):
