I don't think it is chain-stitched because I remember reading back when these first came out last year in July they said they needed, "Special machines just to sew the fabric (denim)". Thats also why they have a zipper, because buttoning them would be quite painful, I'd imagine.

Yeah, I just picked up the Elephants, noticed that there was no chainstitch... Bummer. Perhaps to keep the cost down as well?

Anyways, I got them for $140 Shipped, so no real biggie.. Can't wait to break them in, got a couple of months to go with some RRL's. On top of that, I have some Blue Bells that I'm gonna have to put on the back burner for these N&F... Looking forward to seeing the difference between these and some 17oz Sam's I have.

Where'd you find 'em for $140?

[ac_slater]

I just got my Duck canvas weird guys.

Definitely bigger than your normal weird guy. Specially the waist.

Think I'm gonna give em a hot soak actually. Not like I'm gonna lose any indigo.

Gorgeous close ups Sean. You can really see the hairiness of the denim. Although I don't own these I do own a pair of Oni Blues and I've seen these at Barneys. They essentially use the same denim. Someone before was asking for a comparison between the Japan Heritage denim and these Onis. I find that the slubbiness of the Japan Heritage is more controlled and even (but still clearly slubby and rough in texture) whereas the Oni denim is more wild and hairy. (The slubbinness is uneven).

[SeanUCSB]

I saw both Japan heritage and the NFxONI when I was in Montreal. The Japan heritage seemed to have a looser weave, the onis are very tight. Both have a good amount of slub, the onis have more irregular patches that rise above the surfacenof the denim. Overall I was more impressed with the oni collab so I went with that.

^that's strange as Oni is normally known for low tension woven denin

[SeanUCSB]

Def a good point. Just one of my obervations when I was comparing the two. I would be curious to know where the Japan heritage denim was supplied from.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

indeed. maybe you can compare them again with some close-ups of the denim

[SeanUCSB]

I was only in MTL for a few days...back in CA now.....They have both at Rooney if anyone is in MTL and wants to do a comparison.

[HKrice]

^wow those look like they're gonna have crazy vertical fading!

[RawAsDenim]

The vertical fading is already really crazy in person!

[erockisalive]

Mine are looking pretty similar. I'll post some shots when I'm not so damn lazy

[Godskrilla]

first time meeting the man himself when he dropped by the city.. got to see the 32oz’s in person and they are amazing! brandon also brought with him some up and coming pieces for next season, you guys wont be disappointed..

[Gold Soaked Afternoon]

are the new patterned N&F oxfords available anywhere? I remember seeing bishon print shirts that I wouldn't mind getting my hands on.

[M1stral]

@ GSA:

Did or didn't you have a pair of Japan Heritage's? If so, how are they doing. Would you like to post an update?

[Gold Soaked Afternoon]

yeah, I have a pair of Japan Heritages, but I haven't put more than a weeks worth of wear on them yet. I bought them as my "winter jean", since I liked how they looked with boots, but not so much with sneakers (been wearing my apcs for that). But when they start to progress I'll update you guys.

[RawAsDenim]

Post them up!

[supersexy]

the onis posted are really beautiful....

i got a chance to wear those once at a local shop and they were incredible!

[kit99bar]

anyone hear a rumor about the weird guy's rise becoming larger?
