I am well passed the novelty of soaking my jeans when I get them. Measurements: I almost always choose one wash when I have the chance. I'm not planning on squeezing any lemons in my top block. Again, it’s giving me classic vintage vibes without feeling like a parachute. I like the fit all the way through the leg and down to the cuff. The rise is roomy and comfortable, without being a diaper rise, nor is it nut-crushingly low. It’s got classic vibes without being too wide in the leg. In the past I did wear tapered cuts and enjoyed them just fine, but I have moved on from that. *Note that finding my perfect fit has been a definite journey and evolution in my style. With my Red Wing Huntsman boots for example, I would prefer a wider leg than I would when wearing my Santalum PTC collab service boots. I much prefer a straight leg, and even within that arena I prefer to have different types of straight legs because I wear many different types of footwear. I’ve found that being a tall, lanky, athletic-built kinda dude, that wearing tapered cuts just doesn’t work for me. Everyone’s body is different and that is why different cuts exist. This is a pair that was initially released in 2018 and sold out with the quickness, however it was never released in this cut, which is one of my favorites, so needless to say I was very excited to have the opportunity to pick up a pair.Ĭut: Straight cuts and slim straight cuts are where it’s at for me personally. Today I am reviewing the Oni x Tanuki 21.5 oz collab in Tanuki’s own “Regular Straight” cut. For lack of a better analogy, no matter how much I love a restaurant, if I don’t love a particular meal, I won’t pretend that I do. Oni and Tanuki being two of my favorite brands, I would bet money that we’re in for something good, but I am going to do my best to leave my bias aside. Although no one knows the exact origin of Smile Dog or where he originally came from, there are some who say that the origins of this entity come from an original picture of The Devil himself.Most of you already know that I am a big time “Denimhead”, and it is no secret that I am a huge fan of Oni and Tanuki. If the victim continues to resist, after an extremely long time, enough to wear down Smile Dog's patience, he will finally manifest into the real world and finally end the victim's suffering, by viciously and painfully killing them, and one story even mentions Smile Dog dragging the souls of his victims down to Hell with him. In some variations of the story, after an extremely long period of resistance, Smile Dog will finally manifest into the real world and will haunt and plague the victim in the real waking world as well as their dream world.

Otherwise, they will simply try to avoid sleeping, resulting in death from sleep deprivation and malnourishment (which may be caused by the victim's extreme fear to make them neglect their own health). Smile Dog is very persistent in its goals, able to continue psychologically tormenting and haunting its victim(s) in their dreams for months or even years until they either 'spread the word' or they commit suicide (the latter happening much more often). Thus, amplifying his already terrifying powers to a demonic new level and worsening the nightmares of his victims just as much. If Smile Dog's wish is not granted after three days, the picture will mutate and deform, depicting a much more disturbing and demonic form of Smile Dog (which many fans and theorists have depicted as Smile Dog's True Form). Deleting or simply not viewing the picture will result in the same thing. What he means by this is that he asks (or, to put it bluntly, blackmailing) that they attach the file and send it to other people.

To which it replies with its famous line: 'Spread the word'. In it, the victim will usually ask what it wants. These dreams will always feature of the Smile Dog.

When it is viewed by an individual, the victim will be plagued by tormenting and traumatizing nightmares. Smile Dog is believed to be a demonic creature resembling a grinning Siberian husky which appears in a photograph. Smile Dog's only real goal seems to be to spread the fear of him as far and wide as he possibly can, killing those who defy and resist him, and taking great joy in doing so as well as dragging them to Hell (from where some believe he came).Īlthough the myths and legends about Smile Dog vary from story to story and writer to writer, most Smile Dog stories and descriptions of the creature follow along something like this: He is seemingly always smiling and only seems displeased if his 'request' is not fulfilled by his victim. The Smile Dog is a very aggressive, bloodthirsty, dangerous and sadistic entity who endlessly revels in the terror others have of him.
