ONI Denim 689 Kiraku II 12oz Natural Indigo Slim Tapered Jean - Black One Wash

1 / 6

Field Notes

Every now and then a jean comes along which breaks boundaries with its innovation. It should be no surprise to us that this time is has come from none other than denim virtuosos, ONI. On the surface the 689 Kiraku II is a comfortable relaxed tapered fit, offering a little more room in the top with a mid rise, and then gently tapering down the leg to give a natural, slim silhouette. Taking a look at the denim we find all of that classic uneven slubbiness that we know and love from the brand, but this is no heavyweight jean. At just 12oz, ONI have woven a denim which blurs the lines of traditional denim manufacturing. This comfortable, breathable denim has been expertly woven on a low tension, creating a fabric with incredible fading opportunities, but which also won’t stifle you in the summer heat.

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.
