Oni Denim

So this is just a blatant attempt to cash in on the Oni name, right? Seems like such minimal input from Oni just so they can add not a single collaborative patch, but two separate basic patches. www.denimio.com/catalog/product/view/id/46814/s/burgus-plus-on850-17-demon-denim-lot-on850-special-collaboration-jeans-one-washed?utm_source=remarkety&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=New+Arrivals+11.01.2016_3&_rmId=wgzdYAKOy1feZdlWjj3NHMkjVgYd9Kud3E8enAWZTDPeg#

Yeah, I don't get these. The Tanuki collab that's just the secret denim in Tanuki's fit is pretty cool.

A short, interesting read doesn't surprise. Oishi-san is known to be quite secretive. Have you got a link ?

My original 22oz Kabuki Vedge were one wash. They were the 575 cut, which is fairly relaxed. After a couple months of wear, the waist had stretched out about a 1/2", and I really wanted to try and tighten them up, not only in the waist, but all over. I gave them a 90 minute soak, at around 100-110*F. They shrunk 1/8" to 1/4" smaller than original specs. Negligible, at best.


Note: That was the only soak I ever gave them. I did not agitate, or tumble dry them. So, I can't say that it isn't possible to get more shrinkage, using those methods. 

Thanks guys. I'm between a non-wash and one wash pair at the moment, just seeing how much more shrink would be attainable if I opted for the slightly cheaper one wash. I think I'll go with the non-wash and get them dialed in to my liking. I'm opting for these over the G loomies (too many variables, I'll go with what works).

I'm either going with the 512's 16.5 "relaxed taper" but am also strongly considering the low tension 626 17's in a skinny taper. I like the less baggy thigh and with a low tension, I may be able to dial these in perfectly with some wear/stretch. 

The 626 appears to be in-line with the Tanuki's I'm thinking about trying out in the near future too. (a grand finale before I go on a no spend)

This is the whole crux of my decision. All things I read on Oni's is that they are easily a favorite pair once dialed in with fit. So I'm probably over analyzing at this point, but trying to get it right so I can kick back and enjoy the wear. Besides, there's a little less guesswork with this than the damn Loomstates. 

This is very helpful. I'm referencing the fit guides on BiG and other places (Denimio, Tate & Yoko) to get an average sense of fit and shrink. The 626's aren't on BiG, so I'll try to get a general sense of what to expect. The 626's surprisingly have the most consistent fit guide from my research compared to some of the more popular models discussed here and on reddit. 

Both of mine are over 34" post soak and have a good bit more ride than that, 546 and 575 fit.

I've been kicking around the 512 14oz idid's and sounds like they're 36-36.5" pre soak and most folks are getting them to right at 34" post soak.

Tate and Yoko has the 17oz and lists a 37" inseam and 34.5" inseam for different fits. Definitely confusing. Rodeo Bros has the 612's at the shorter length too. Price is nice, but I don't need capris.

Aha, was about to really panic as the 512's are listed as 8cm shorter, or right at 33", but then realized that both RB measurements are for once washed.
