ONI’s new Kiwami range has been expertly woven to produce that characteristic slubbiness that we all know and love so well. Never ones to be outdone, the brand have used the traditional method or rope dyeing the yarns in natural indigo, giving this unique 16oz denim a brilliant range of fading possibilities. The loose weave of this fabric allows a great range of movement, which, for a heavy denim, makes this jean surprisingly comfortable, breaking in brilliantly after just a couple of wears. Natural indigo farming has has sadly become a lost art, worth now only four or five indigo leaf farmers in operation Aizumi-cho area, but the craft stands head and shoulders above their synthetic counterparts and produces a quality indigo colour which is unrivalled.

This 246 Kiwami jean boasts traditional tailoring techniques which have been effortlessly matched with a classic straight fit. With a mid rise, this jean sits comfortably at the waist and features a 5-pocket top construction. There is a little more room allowed in the thigh, and the shape continues straight down to the ankle, allowing a perfect vintage silhouette. The vivid blue of this 16oz denim is matched with durable features such as universal copper rivets, raised belt loops, heavy duty bar tracks and canvas pocketing. A traditional light red selvedge line is offset with a natural coloured leather patch, adding a touch of sophistication. The combination of class and comfort which this creation from the denim veterans offers makes this one of our favourite new arrivals here at Son Of A Stag, and we can’t wait to break ours in! This jean has been rinsed once for comfort, but there is still plenty of room for shrinkage, so expect this model to move between 4 and 6% on the first wash.
