ONI Denim 288-GC15 15oz Green Cast Denim Regular Straight

With the 288-GC15, ONI Denim revisits the aesthetics of vintage denim through a particularly textured 15oz Green Cast Denim. Its slightly greenish indigo shade recalls the appearance of vintage denim whose indigo has gradually oxidised, while the very low-tension weaving gives the fabric a pronounced texture and rough hand. Combined with the Regular Straight fit, this fabric offers a straight, timeless silhouette and a denim that will gradually evolve with wear.

Description

ONI Denim remains one of Japan's most enigmatic denim makers. Behind the name is Oishi-san, an artisan who has devoted more than six decades to developing increasingly distinctive denim fabrics. Rejecting conventional marketing practices, the brand has neither an official website nor social media presence and focuses exclusively on creating original fabrics. This philosophy is partly why ONI productions remain relatively confidential and highly sought after by denim enthusiasts around the world.

The 15oz Green Cast Denim used for the 288-GC15 is distinguished by its slightly greenish indigo shade. This colour is achieved by adding green-based dyes during the final stage of the indigo dyeing process. The result recalls the appearance of certain vintage denims whose indigo has gradually oxidised over the years.

The fabric also stands out for its construction. The yarns are woven on a shuttle loom set to extremely low tension, with the weaving process carried out slowly. This method produces a particularly rough and irregular texture characteristic of this denim. Despite its 15oz weight, the fabric therefore has a very pronounced construction and texture.

The 288-GC15 is offered in One Wash. The jeans have therefore already been washed before being released and can be worn immediately. The colour and texture of the Green Cast Denim will gradually evolve with wear and washing, allowing the denim to develop greater contrast over time.

Fit

The 288-GC15 features a balanced Regular Straight fit, neither too loose nor too slim. The cut maintains straight, consistent lines throughout the leg, in the spirit of classic jeans. This silhouette allows the texture of the 15oz Green Cast Denim to stand out. As the jeans are offered in One Wash, they have already been washed before being released. We recommend choosing your usual size.

Why we selected it

With its 15oz Green Cast Denim, ONI Denim offers a fabric whose colour and texture are directly rooted in the aesthetics of vintage denim. The slightly greenish indigo shade is combined with very low-tension, slow weaving, giving the fabric its characteristic rough and irregular texture. Paired with the Regular Straight fit, this fabric results in a classic straight-leg jean whose colour and texture will gradually evolve with wear.
