Yep those look awesome.  Definitely a great pickup.

I bought a pair of Oni 546ZR earlier in the year, and they are my favourite jeans. The fit is perfect and just feel so lovely to wear.
I have heard/seen some peoples complaints on Oni jeans not being durable enough and needing repairs long within the year, so I will see how mine go.

Would love to see the progress on your 546ZR.

I can't yet speak to the durability of Oni. I can say I've never had a pair of jeans, IH included, that didn't need repairs within the first 6-7 months. I'm not talking about accidents, just normal crotch wear and hem patchment (but i like to drag my cuffs).

I've seen that too. It seems to mostly be due to the loose weave of the fabric. I have a pair of Oni olives (unworn) that seem to be constructed beautifully. I remember the worst offense was one pair on sufu that had the cuff rip really quick. That's not a construction issue, but a fabric issue.

I will post pics after my first wash, probably will be after the coming winter or after next winter.

I saw that cuff rip pic on sufu also. Seemed like a one off.

Semmes like it to me as well. I've heard very little complaints about on overall. Like I said the construction on mine is some of the cleanest I have seen. Hell, even ih have had minor flaws at times and most of their stuff could survive the apocalypse

[spitfiredealer]

Can't fault the construction but the colour just kinda falls out. If that makes sense.

[Chris]

Been a few years since I had a pair of Oni jeans, but my experience was that they were very durable and slow to fade.
@Chris:

Here’s what they look like after nearly a year of daily wear and 9 machine washes.

[spitfiredealer]

The secret denim pair I have faded quicker than any pair of raw's I have had.

[dudewuttheheck]

I have heard a couple people say that those fade quickly. Hopefully my olives don't fade too quickly haha

[trapp]

Chris, those Oni's look awesome. I can't believe they're that dark after a year of wear and 9 washes…

Oni is jumping on the 666 bandwagon:

[Appfaff]

dang those are "tight" - literally… those measurements would barely fit anyone lol

[Anesthetist]

The front rise, thigh, and hem measurements are way small. They are more extreme 777 than 666.

I've owned a couple of pairs of Oni jeans, because they do interesting denim, but they have some truly bizarre models out there.  I can't see this one fitting, well, anyone.

[sabergirl]

13" back rise on a 36? No way.

Those are crazy.  Measurements are really odd.  I could probably get my legs into them and look like I was wearing denim tights but the waist would be an inch and a half big.
