ONI Denim 02516P-GCKHN Green Cast Kihannen Type II Denim Jacket

1 / 6

Field Notes

ONI’s range of jackets wouldn’t be complete without the addition of the Type II, & ONI doesn't disappoint. Whist we might think of ONI as being anything but a traditional jeans manufacturer, this 02516P-GCKHN is a perfect blend of old and new. The classic shape of the Type II trucker that we all know and love is there, but this time it has been paired with a fresh, modern fabric. ONI have used a beautiful 16oz green cast denim in the construction of this jacket.

The weave is super low tension on this fabric which creates the possibilities of glorious fades that have become so synonymous with the brand. The unique streaky quality of the green cast denim allows for even more individual vertical fades. The shape is slightly shorter and more boxy than the 02527 model, and boasts two patch pockets in the traditional style. Buttoned cuffs, waist epaulettes, and laurel buttons cement this jacket’s authenticity, whilst a deer skin leather patch on the inside adds an extra touch of class. This is a beautifully modern interpretation of a classic jacket.

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.
