Great to know a fellow Oni wearer! I’m wearing the 622 Aizumi’s currently and I agree that they fade very slow. I also have the 02516 jacket as well.

The 16oz denim is thick and definitely more for indoor wear like air con office environment. Wearing them on the streets can be quite “challenging”.

They did release recently the 902 which is a high rise version of the 622.

Now I’m thinking whether to get the Samurai limited models or not haha.

Just nice I have both pairs, so I can provide my opinions. For Samurai I have 710xx and 710bkb, and I must say they fade fast! But my 710xx also got a crotch burst fast too, which I am surprised given the thick material. As for Oni 622z, though it's only 1oz more than 710xx, it does feel thicker and tougher than the Samurai. However the 622z is fading really really slow. There are some signs of whiskers and wallet fades, but pretty weak.

As for fitting, both are different too, which you can refer to denimio for the accurate measurements. For me, 710xx feels quite tight on the butt though the waist is fine, and the hem taper is not that much too. As for 622z, both waist and butt fits right for me, but the hem is really really very tapered which sometimes I may struggle to pull up my socks because I can't lift up the ends higher. So I guess neither is best best fitting for me.

As whether it feels warm, I feel both of them acceptable. May be because I am usually indoors so I don't feel the heat wearing them.

guys, just dug out an old pair of dior which i can fit into now. sadly, there's a small hole at the back above the pocket and i'm looking to taper them. not sure if i should hem them.

where should i go to fix all of the issues? is tet tailor still the one? haven't been wearing jeans for quite some time.

saw jeansfix but its pricey af. might go if i really have no choice.

thanks in advance!

Adding to the last post, I'd also like to get some advise on jeans alterations and what can be done.

I've bought a pair of waist 33 but have lost some weight recently and the waist area is feeling loose. Don't like to use a belt so am wondering if waist of jeans can be altered?

yes can be done. but costly + the whole fit of the jeans will look weird after.
my advice is not to. but if you really like the jeans, nothing is stopping you.

hope it helps

Went to TDS today hoping to check out if they carrying Samurai Jeans caps. Then I realise they are only selling Momotaro for the Japanese brands. How come like that? They dropped Unbranded, now Samurai Jeans. Nudie, Momotaro and Naked & Famous enough to tahan meh?

 

[blzy333]

Yeah they seem to be pushing nudies much more. Jap brands, is ruggard gentleman shop the only place now? Any other brick n mortar in sg for Jap denim?

Any good recommendations for places to go for alterations (selvedge denim)? Looking to slightly taper and take in some width got the thigh area. Jeans fit nicely when I bought it but I guess it expanded more than I expected and its borderline baggy now haha

Bread & Butter (if they still exist that is) carries some Japanese selection IIRC.

 

[LoneReaction]

Anyone here tried local custom denim? I know Hwa Seng Textiles has been doing it for sometime. Also found Journal Projects that started recently.
Off-the-rack just doesn't fit me. Wonder who I should go with to make a custom pair..

 

[blzy333]

No more. I think they left with limited the strike gold, apart from evisu. That's about it for the jap denim selection.

Think no choice, have to blind buy from okayama denim
