Introducing the ONI Secret Super Rough, a remarkable addition to our denim collection. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this coverall combines the best elements of two iconic ONI fabrics: the Asphalt and the Secret Denim.
The Secret Super Rough is a heavyweight Japanese selvedge denim masterpiece, weighing in at a substantial 20oz. What sets it apart is the extraordinary slubbiness of the yarn used in its construction, resulting in a fabric with a unique neppy surface. The irregular thickness of the yarn gives rise to a rugged and bumpy textured surface, adorned with distinctive white cotton balls, or "neps."
What makes this denim truly exceptional is its heritage. Following a tragic incident where the original secret denim yarn-spinning mill was destroyed in a fire, ONI embarked on a mission to reproduce its remarkable texture. With the Secret Super Rough, they have achieved a breakthrough.
By combining the yarn and weave structure of the Asphalt Denim with the warp and weft dye of the Secret Denim, this 20oz denim is a rebirth of the very first secret denim. Through a meticulous selection of cotton blend and weaving methods, the fabric's surface boasts an abundance of neps and irregularities that surpass even the original Secret Denim.
Oishi-San is well known for interpreting American workwear staples through his Japanese dystopic lens. More of a character actor than a leading man, this heavyweight coverall will be the most reliable Autumn jacket in your arsenal. It's designed for work—with plenty of pockets and durable construction—and is understated enough to add some depth to everything from a hoodie to a tee. It has one inner and one outer breast pocket and two handwarmer pockets at the waist and features superior-quality details such as copper buttons and a selvedge hanger loop.
Welcome to the realm of the Secret Super Rough, the reimagined and highly coveted fabric that denim enthusiasts have long desired. Vibrant colors and the most extreme texture we've ever witnessed collide in this ONI masterpiece.
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.
