ONI has been our holy grail brand from the very beginning, and we've finally been able to build a relationship with the brand and owner Masao Oishi. The brand is as old school and secretive as it appears. They use traditional construction methods to create low-tension, irregular, slubby denim that has a cult following. Their selvedge tickles the ancient part of our brain that makes us love denim so much. ONI does one thing and they do it to perfection. We can't wait to explore their wonderful world of fabric and fits with you guys.
Every time we think we've seen it all, ONI pops up with an incredible new fabrication that blows our hair back. This time, they've flipped the script entirely. You're used to 20oz low-tension denim from this brand, right? Did you ever think you'd see an 8.5oz densely woven plain weave chambray? We've never had a chambray pant in the store in our tenure. It's always in tops, and we're absolutely buzzing to be one of the few shops in the world that got this pant. Oishi-san has decided that this fabric best fits their ever-popular 022 "Relax Straight" silhouette. We couldn't agree more. This is a light weight pant built for the summer months and you want them to be able to breathe as much as possible. You know it has all the bells and whistles of an ONI pair from the construction to the details. We really enjoy the canvas patch for its contrast. It's a nice bright pop of color that matches the style. Most importantly, these are selvedge. They're something fresh and new from a brand that generally sticks to demon denim. Oh, and they warp is Indigo dyed, so they will fade!

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 33 in this Relaxed Straight fit. Surprisingly, this is his standard size in most denim these days. They were absolutely perfect in the waist with extra room in the thighs, knee, and leg opening. The Relaxed Straight has just a bit more room in the legs than its Regular Straight predecessor. This is ONI's roomiest fit and is built for guys with big legs, or guys looking to rock a fashion cut. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs, with a 32-33" waist.
