The ONI Denim 822-OLD18 “Olive Denim” 18oz Super Wide Tapered Jeans represent a distinctive take on ONI’s fabric-first philosophy, combining their signature irregular texture with a unique olive-dyed construction. Woven at low tension on vintage power looms, this 18oz selvedge denim features olive warp yarns paired with an off-white weft, resulting in a fabric with remarkable depth and tonal complexity.

As expected from ONI, the denim showcases a rugged, uneven surface with a pronounced slubby character. The coarse hand feel softens progressively with wear, while the olive sulfur dye evolves differently from traditional indigo—fading into subtle, earthy contrasts rather than high-contrast blues. This gives the fabric a more understated and versatile aesthetic, pairing naturally with denim, chambray, and military-inspired tones.

The 822 silhouette is a modern interpretation of a bold volume fit. Built with a high rise and a wide, roomy top block, it offers comfort and presence through the hips and thighs. A strong taper from the knee down refines the shape, creating a clean silhouette at the hem that balances the wide proportions. The result is a super wide fit that remains structured and highly wearable.

Details reflect ONI’s commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship. The jeans are finished with original donut buttons, copper punched rivets, and hidden back pocket rivets for durability. A horse-tanned leather patch with green foil embossing, sewn on after the wash to preserve its finish, adds a distinctive visual identity. Signature hip pocket stitching and the original flasher complete a design that stays true to ONI’s unmistakable character—where fabric, texture, and aging potential take center stage.

Fit Notes: This model fits true to size for ONI, meaning the tagged size closely matches the actual waist measurement. Compared to most global American brands, sizing is similar or slightly smaller, so you may take the same size or one size up. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart to find your perfect size. The denim is unsanforized but has been one-washed, so no shrinkage is expected. Thanks to ONI’s signature ultra–low tension weave, the fabric will stretch significantly in the waist—typically up to 1–1.5 inches with regular wear. That said, we don’t recommend sizing down aggressively, as it may compromise both comfort and the intended fit. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart to ensure the best possible fit.
