ONI Denim 552 14.5oz Slim Straight Jean - Raw

1 / 5

Field Notes

ONI’s 552 model is a slim/straight fit with a mid rise and a classic 5-pocket top block construction. At 14.5oz denim, these jeans are not as heavy as one might come to expect from the brand, but they are by no means lightweight. Boasting that classic low tension, slubby ONI look, the 552 still has the characteristics of the heavier denim the brand is known for, but they are much more breathable and easy to wear at first try. The denim is set with a green cast which makes the fades truly individual. The leg shape is on the slimmer end of the spectrum, gradually tapering to the ankle, flattering the leg as it does so. A comfortable mid rise straightens the top block to flatter the waist. Copper rivets are holding the jeans in place throughout and a beautiful deerskin patch adorns the back with ONI’s mysterious logo. This jean can be worn all year round and will soften and become more comfortable as they go.

ONI Denim

Secrecy and prestige

Founded by Mr Oshi, one of the most important voices in the history of Japanese denim, ONI Denim is a brand that prides itself on experimentation and innovation. Creating fabrics that push the boundaries of denim itself, the brand is recognisable for its super-heavyweight and incredibly textured jeans which are often only able to be produced on a single vintage machine.
