Sometimes the secret sauce that sets a sandwich apart isn’t a sauce at all but a type of denim and sometimes that very sandwich isn’t actually a sandwich at all but a pair of jeans. Sorry, ONI Denim is making my mouth water. Feast your eyes on ONI Denim’s 288ZR “Secret Denim 20 oz. Regular Straight Jeans.
These raw selvedge denim jeans are crafted from the brand’s iconic unique ‘secret’ fabric, which features extra-thick yarns from three different kinds of cotton woven at ultra-low tension on a vintage shuttle loom – achieving a beefier, slubbier texture that just can’t be recreated. The warp yarn is indigo rope-dyed and the weft yarn is beige, leading to amazing potential for murky, gritty fades. It’s no surprise that this fabric has such a loyal following in the raw denim scene.
Made into a classic straight cut that is definitely more on the slim side, each pair comes complete with rear pocket ONI arcuates, and a custom vegetable-tanned deerskin waist patch.
Available for $259 at Redcast Heritage Co
