679 in 16 oz. Kiwami denim (hand-dyed natural indigo) close-up pics. Up close, they have clearly different-colored threads ranging from light blue to near black, but at a few feet away it has an impressionistic effect of general texture. Pretty interesting denim for <$300 (from Denimio).

They stretched a half-inch to an inch right away but holding there since. Lost a little weight and could've probably should've sized down, though they also wear stiffer/rougher than secret denim even with the lighter weight due to a tighter weave.

Had some points expiring this April so figured this would be a great time to spend it alongside with the 10% off
I picked up the 902 ZR Secret Denim as I have been wanting this blueish-green colour for a while now
I probably won't be wearing it soon as I currently rotating between Momotaro's 0105sp and Oni 902zr IDBK

Congratulations on the new pair of SECRET Denim. As you said, the color on those are just superb. Look forward to seeing those age once you get to them!

Does anyone have recommendations for best Oni cuts for people with large thighs? I have a pair of Oni 612 Old 14s that I had to have the waste taken in to wear. I've really only been able to fit into Iron Heart 888s and some Left Field Atlas cuts.

@Nashville1986, I like the 246 for a great all around straight cut. If you like IH888, you may be interested in relaxed tapered cuts with space in the top block in which case I would recommend the 622. Be aware that the 622 has a ridiculously small leg opening so I would suggest trying on before you buy.

First wear of the Oni Black Secret Denim Type II is in the bag. This was the first time I have experienced the original Ayabe spinning factory secret denim and it has a significantly different hand than the regular secret denim. I sincerely hope that they find some other deadstock fabric rolls so we can get our hands on some other pieces.
