Oishi-san has recently been reworking his iconic 14oz fabric that he launched over 20 years ago and which established the brand as a benchmark in Japanese denim. In this new version, he has chosen an indigo color for the warp and a beige for the weft. Reminiscent of the brand's first-generation ONI denim, this 14oz jacket features the same original texture that revolutionized denim, elevating slubby denim to prominence. Crafted from short staple American cotton, they can only be produced on a specially prepared power loom, known for its slow output and frequent need for repairs. This new version of the classic is achieved through numerous baths of indigo rope-dyed yarns in the warp and beige dyed yarns in the weft.

This Type II Jacket is a modern reinterpretation of the classic 50's jacket that seamlessly blends heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design, featuring side and inner pockets and premium details such as black copper buttons, high-quality pocket bags, a new and custom veg-tanned cowhide leather patch adorned with the face of a demon, and a fresh pocket flasher created specifically for this model.

Despite being a Japanese jacket, like most ONI garments, we find the sizing of this Type II to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American jackets, you'll find a suitable fit with this jacket in size 40 (M). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is unsanforized but once washed, so there will be no shrinkage.

The legend of ONI is alive to this day. In recent years Oishi-San has devoted himself to experimenting with widely varying grammages, rough textures, different indigo dyeing techniques and novelty cuts while always maintaining a very limited production and wielding his experience in denim which now goes back more than 60 years.
