The ONI Denim 288 "Kasuri" 17oz Regular Straight Jeans represent a groundbreaking achievement in denim craftsmanship. Inspired by traditional Kabuki theater curtain patterns, master craftsman Oishi-san has created an unprecedented jacquard-like selvedge denim with a subtle geometric, almost honeycomb pattern. This 17oz fabric combines ultra-slubby yarns with low-tension weaving, resulting in a unique texture that promises extraordinary fading potential. The distinctive purple and gold selvedge ticker pays homage to traditional Japanese theater colors, while copper hardware and hidden back pocket rivets add refined details.
Each pair features raised belt loops, natural twill pocket bags, and dual-tone contrast stitching. The jeans undergo a Tempi one-wash treatment, ensuring optimal comfort from first wear. Finished with a vegetable-tanned leather patch and special edition pocket flasher, these jeans exemplify ONI's innovative approach to denim craftsmanship. As one of few selected retailers worldwide to carry this exceptional denim, these jeans represent a rare opportunity to own a piece of denim artistry.
Fit Notes: Normally, ONI jeans fit true to size, but in this case, the Kasuri fabric shrank more than usual during the one wash. We recommend choosing two sizes up from your usual ONI size for the 288 Kasuri, and one size up for the 622 Kasuri compared to your usual ONI size. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect fit. Although it is unsanforized, the fabric has been one-washed, so there will be no further shrinkage. The waist will experience the typical stretching seen in ONI denim due to the low-tension weave, though not as much as the Secret Denim. Expect approximately 1 inch of stretching.
