#ONI X TANUKI FADE PATCH#

Obviously, the patch is different – spelling out “O – Ni”. Additionally, there is an Oni tag sewn inside the waist band. The top button has been replace with the laurel wreath donut button seen on many Oni jeans. Some details have been changed in comparison to Tanuki’s usual jeans. This collaboration denim should produce some unique fading results – the combination of the slimmer fits, rough fabric and natural rope-dye should produce fairly sharp fades with lots of vertical changes& interesting hues. The indigo is darker, more intense and brilliant compared with that on Oni’s secret denim. Slightly rough to the touch, with plenty of irregularities and micro-details to appreciate. What you get here is a heavy, low tension, natural indigo denim with lots of loom chatter and great hand feel. The yarns & weave of the denim come from Oni’s 20 oz ‘secret’ denim, whereas the dye utilized is Tanuki’s exclusive natural indigo rope-dye formulation. Rather, the exchange of brand identity goes right down to the fabric itself. I popped by Godspeed just before the official launch to have a look in person. The level of collaboration here is fairly significant…this is not just your average collaboration where a few details or perhaps the fit are tweaked. Since it is a raw denim, if you wear it, the circumference of the waist will grow about 2-3cm.Here’re some photos of the new Oni x Tanuki ‘OTT’ collaboration jeans.

I hope you can enjoy the texture that the weaving does not have.Įvery time you wear it, the fabric will gradually soften and become familiar with the body, and experience the best color fading. In addition, the texture is clearer than the right-weaving, and when the color fades, it will change to a softer touch. It is attractive that each piece of warp fades like raining.

The left-weaving has a darker color due to the weft yarn dyed in gray and has a soft touch. The original proof that the orange selvage has two lines. Graphzero's original selvage denim woven slowly over time with low tension. To connect the era, passing on technology, spinning craftsmen and yarn in the construction of denim, “THE ONE AND ONLY TEXTILE” and “JAPAN PRIDE” stamped as a quality proof that graphzero is proud of. The patch is extremely thick leather (thickness is about 3mm). I do not have permission to tell you exactly what it is but I am VERY exited for this collaboration.
