I choose unsanforized fabric for the character it exhibits, not for the shrink to fit quality. I am well passed the novelty of soaking my jeans when I get them. Measurements: I almost always choose one wash when I have the chance. I'm not planning on squeezing any lemons in my top block. Again, it’s giving me classic vintage vibes without feeling like a parachute. I like the fit all the way through the leg and down to the cuff. The rise is roomy and comfortable, without being a diaper rise, nor is it nut-crushingly low. It’s got classic vibes without being too wide in the leg. In the past I did wear tapered cuts and enjoyed them just fine, but I have moved on from that. *Note that finding my perfect fit has been a definite journey and evolution in my style. With my Red Wing Huntsman boots for example, I would prefer a wider leg than I would when wearing my Santalum PTC collab service boots. I much prefer a straight leg, and even within that arena I prefer to have different types of straight legs because I wear many different types of footwear. I’ve found that being a tall, lanky, athletic-built kinda dude, that wearing tapered cuts just doesn’t work for me. Everyone’s body is different and that is why different cuts exist. This is a pair that was initially released in 2018 and sold out with the quickness, however it was never released in this cut, which is one of my favorites, so needless to say I was very excited to have the opportunity to pick up a pair.Ĭut: Straight cuts and slim straight cuts are where it’s at for me personally. Today I am reviewing the Oni x Tanuki 21.5 oz collab in Tanuki’s own “Regular Straight” cut. For lack of a better analogy, no matter how much I love a restaurant, if I don’t love a particular meal, I won’t pretend that I do. Oni and Tanuki being two of my favorite brands, I would bet money that we’re in for something good, but I am going to do my best to leave my bias aside. With decades of cumulative experience in denim manufacturing, the “super-team” behind Tanuki is able to manipulate shuttle looms to create unique fabrics, sewing them into jeans that elevate Japanese denim to yet another level.Most of you already know that I am a big time “Denimhead”, and it is no secret that I am a huge fan of Oni and Tanuki.
