Description

This style is crafted from ONI’s new 13.5oz long-slub denim. Despite its midweight construction, the fabric has a remarkably rough and irregular surface. Reminds us of the almost “demonic” texture expression found on ONI DENIM’s earliest jeans models from 25 years ago.

Unlike most commercial denim today, where the slubiness often appears as finer vertical streaks. The LS13.5 fabric features a far more irregular and organic surface. Conventional modern denim is typically softer to the touch with less variation, resulting in a look that feels more contemporary rather than the vintage aesthetic of early American denim. 

For this long-slub denim, ONI utilizes thicker long-slub yarns in both the vertical indigo warp and horizontal white weft. This creates a subtle crosshatch texture reminiscent of early American denim. 

Because the fabric is slowly woven on traditional vintage power looms at the extremely low tension ONI is known for, it achieves an unusually pronounced surface with dramatic highs and lows.

At 13.5oz, the denim is still at a comfortable midweight level that works well year-round. When looking up close, the texture is anything but sublime.

What is Slub in Denim?

“The reason ONI Denim is named ‘ONI’ isn’t just because of the demon face graphic on the pocket flasher. It’s because the first model ONI presented to the Japanese stores. The comment they got back was that they never saw anything this unique, very much like a demon’s face in Japanese folklore.

Because of the mid weight setting, this fabric also wouldn’t look too exaggerated. Making it just right as a classic dark indigo jeans. ”

The 222’s extra-wide leg opening provides effortless movement and airflow, making it ideal for modern and contemporary style. It also goes well with vintage inspired Americana tops. Despite its generous volume, it somehow maintains a clean straight look.
