This was the result and my answer to the question, “How do you pre-soak your Oni’s?” I packed up my camera, supplies and I headed out to the beach. I found one in Malibu, about an hour away from my home in Hollywood. I wanted rocks and waves crashing around me to create a dramatic vibe. I went online looking for the perfect beach. It actually gave me a better idea for the first photo. The only problem is it wouldn’t arrive till after the deadline of this mini battle. I found another mask online, which actually is more fitting to The Denim Hound(you’ll see). It was the exact same mask I ordered!! This just wouldn’t do. #gdbteamoni #onivssamurai #onivssamarai2016 #gdbsoak #denimio #rawdenim #internetpantsfriends #onidenim #selvedge #killingsamuraifordummies #thanksforlooking photo posted by Allen Danger on at 7:55pm PDT There’s ONI one way to pass the time while soaking your jeans. A couple days before my mask arrived, posted this pic: I wanted to do something epic! So I ordered a mask from Amazon and went to a costume store for a Samurai wig and battle axe.

I didn’t want to just do the standard soak in the ocean picture. So I did a preliminary hot soak of the legs, up to the top block. But first, I wanted to get all of the shrinkage out of the legs so my honeycombs wounded shift down the road. I was concerned about odor but there was only one way to find out. I’ve never done a pre-soak in the ol’ Pacific so I thought this the proper time to try. The first photo contest was to be a visual response to the question “How do you pre-soak your jeans?” I immediately knew what I was going to do. Mini Battle # 1: How do you soak your jeans? Thank you for running this awesome competition! #gdbteamoni unite!!

The Devil has arrived!! #onidenim #517xxcon is getting a thorough inspection by Harvey Goldwater III – the denim bunny. But first, I had to let Harvey Goldwater III – Denim Bunny Extraordinaire, inspect. But in reality its probably a sassy mail lady who just “Ain’t got time for all that.” I ripped open the package, anxious to see if they fit. It’s like Christmas morning, but instead of Santa bringing you gifts, you imagine an old Japanese master of textiles silently bowing and handing you a carefully wrapped denim masterpiece. I received my new Oni’s!! If you’ve ordered denim from Japan before, you know the feeling. I hope you join me in this year long journey. On this page I will log my progress and document the monthly mini battle photo competitions.

Here is a full review of the Oni 517xx Contest edition.

Plus I’ve been wanting a pair of the Oni XX fabric for quite some time, and the details on the contest edition couldn’t be passed up. But I couldn’t pass up the chance to represent for one of my favorite denim brands Oni Denim in a competition sponsored by one of my favorite denim shops Denimio.

I’ve never been one for denim competitions, I just love denim and how it evolves. This is the first denim fade competition I’ve ever entered.
