A true Japanese selvedge denim masterpiece, meticulously crafted by Oishi-san. Weighing in at a formidable 20oz, this fabric pushes the concepts of slub and nep to unprecedented heights, setting it apart from anything else on the market.

What makes the Asphalt truly distinctive is the extreme slubbiness of the yarn combined with its uniquely neppy surface. The uneven yarn thickness creates an exceptionally irregular, rugged texture, punctuated by white cotton nepsthat give the fabric its unmistakable character. The result is one of the most tactile and textured denims we’ve ever encountered.

The wide straight silhouette offers generous comfort with a deep rise and roomy fit, perfectly channeling the aesthetics of vintage workwear.

Finishing details include original ONI donut buttons, punched copper rivets, and a genuine cowhide leather patch—hallmarks of the meticulous craftsmanship that defines ONI. Delivered in a one-wash finish, these jeans are ready to wear straight out of the box while honoring true Japanese denim tradition.

Fit Notes: These jeans have a standard sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. The fabric is unsanforized, but the jeans have been one-washed, so no further shrinkage is expected. The waist will experience the typical stretching seen in ONI denim due to the low tension weave, although not as much as the secret denim. Expect approximately 1 inches of stretching.
