Field Notes

Know for their beautifully slubby, low tension denim, ONI have really come through with this classic 517 fit. As an alternative to the heavier 16.5oz version, these jeans are made from a more breathable 14oz selvedge denim. These jeans are a slim/straight masterpiece with a mid rise. The classic 5-pocket construction jean sits comfortably on the waist, is slim on the hips and goes straight down from the knee without tapering; they are perfect for a naturally slim shape. The weft of this jean is a darker shade of beige than ONI usually go for and gives the jean an almost historic feel. These jeans will fade beautifully because of their irregular weave, allowing the darker weft to show through and differentiate itself from its competitors. Universal copper rivets, raised belt loops and heavy duty bar tacking are present throughout this jean, ensuring complete durability. The nature of this fabric means that it will soften and fit you better with each wear. A beautiful deerskin patch is present on the back with the company’s mysterious demon logo.
