Favorite fit of the week is easy this week. I’ve finally found my heavy black jeans (trial period pending) - Oni Secret Black" 20oz Selvedge Denim - High Tapered Fit size 34 courtesy of Blue Owl. I’ve been hunting for the right pair for years and they look so good.

Oni has always fascinated me as Japanese denim really got me into this space. The stretch in waist is daunting and I’m already budgeting to get it taken in after the expected 2” stretch over time. Sizing these things have been a nightmare but I’m happy

The slub is hairy, the color is inky, and my legs can breathe and are therefore happy.

It also lets me wear cream turtle neck from Howlin'. Given that i'm based in Nashville, I get 5 days a year to break out the heavy winter wear. The scratchiness of the wool isn't ideal but keeping the warmth balances out.

Topping everything out is a Brooks Brother's camel coat. Everyone should have one and a long coat makes me feel like a bond villain, which pairs with the turtle neck especially well. Warm without being heavy, i expect to have this coat until global warming eventually take winter from us entierly.
