ONI Denim 626 17oz Slim Tapered Jean - Raw

Field Notes

With the 626-LT17, ONI have made a 17oz jean with a contemporary shape. The 626 is a super tight fit with a classic 5-pocket construction. The rise is low and modern, slimming the hips whilst the thighs are tight and the taper continues right down to the ankle. This is a model for a naturally skinny frame. The 17oz denim is not the heaviest that ONI offer, but it is by no means the lightest either. The loose weave of the denim gives is a slubby finish which has become a characteristic of ONI jeans, and it is this slubbiness which offers the wearer the most amazing fades in the denim world. Featuring universal copper rivets, raised belt loops, heavy duty bar tacks and sturdy canvas pocket bags, this jean is made to last. They also feature a deer skin leather patch, emblazoned with the company’s mysterious mascot. These jeans are unsanforized and will therefore shrink up to 8% in the wash, making this jean the perfect shrink-to-fit selvedge skinny.
