1. ONI Denim – The Secret Of Birth
Regarding development and creation of fabric :
The part where ONI is drawing a line with other Maker
«Finishing the finished image from the stage of making the fabric.»
When a general Maker creates a new fabric,
they repeat try and error from a small amount of fabric so as not to hold bad inventory,
then make mass production at the point of consent.
However, in the case of ONI, they don’t repeat try and error number of times.
Through many years of experience, ONI finely analyzed the yarn count (thickness), color, warp and weft.
This made ONI’s strength : able to image the texture of the fabric and style before the fabric is made.
Here is a bit of a digression, when ONI made the perfect fabric, the irregularities on the texture of the fabric that has been developed are too intense,, craftsman cried out.
«What is this … rough as ONI (Japanese demon) …»
This is why ONI named ONI.

Founder of ONI said
I have special attention from fabric development to silhouette and detail usability.

ONI’ characteristic are slubby texture with thick fabric,
but when you wear ONI, ONI offer soft and comfortable feeling. This is actually reputable.
ONI weave the fabrics at low tension so ONI’s fabric have good ventilation and no grow.
Also, because of the sparsely dented fabrics, very different fading is attractive than any other denim.
3. Art of Sewing
Sewing thick and heavy oz of ONI is supported by TAKUMI’s (Artisan in Japanese) skilled techniques.
As a result, difficulty of sweing ONI denim made the number of production in limited.
For that reason, just a few retailers can handling ONI even in Japan. ONI is actually rare.
When sewing vintage heavy oz jeans,
because of sewing by ordinary sewing machines, ONI adopt a special sewing machine.
However, not only relying on those special sewing machines,
certain skill and experience of craftsman sublimated ONI as the Best denim.
