absolutely love these, I would buy for sure if they were just a little bigger. Good luck!!

Free Bump.

Yeah, stuff like this is why I don't like Superfashion at all, it might as well be a totally different site than Superdenim.

Then again, they probably laugh at urban lumberjacks with big beards in work shirts, cinch back jeans, and logger boots, so it goes both ways. Fashion is a war that can't be won.

I'm from the state of Oregon, where people wear flannels, work shirts, logger boots and tough denim because it is a necessity; unless you live in Portland, people wearing redwings, danner, etc all work as lumberjacks, loggers or at lumber mills. It's hillarious how it's caught on as so trendy, I laugh when I see people just wearing all that walking down the street or grabbing a drink or something. I'm really honestly not trying to sound like a hipster haha I think it looks good but that's how I have dressed my whole life

along with nukiemon jeans I'm interested to see if anyone here owns a pair of eight g

hey just saw the flat head 3001-A on your website, when will the product description be up? haha sorry for sounding impatient!

does anyone have pics of Nukiemon jeans? Their mill or shop is supposedly right across the street from rampuya. I would love to see these

looking forward to hearing about these in detail, i believe there are a couple more pics on blue owl's facebook page

I've had the opportunity to try these on and if my memory serves me correct they are the same as the 1st collab as far as denim and cut is concerned.

@hawkway - yeah that's a good point, I thought about it but decided to see how beat up my levi's can get before I am absolutely forced to put them away.

^wear them to work!

right? I wear my raw levi's to work. I got them a year ago and only washed twice. and both washes have just been recently. It's weird but I haven't been able to find my pair of levi's anywhere online or in any other levi's store. I got them at a levi's boutique here in Portland, and they are actually out of business now. But my jeans get so nasty after just one day. covered in both dry and wet cement, saw dust, dirt, pvc and steel shavings. I'm not ready to turn that beautiful zimbabwe cotton into work jeans.

I will post updates of my blueowl x momo colab later today or tomorrow since it's been a month and a half now, unfortunately with my new job ( Custom Fence and Deck building ) I haven't been able to wear them as much as I would like. I'm down to weekends only. On a side note i'm really glad to see this thread growing and more people buying momotaros!

@lightvii - They're still new so you won't find many fit pics, I imagined anyone who got them would post here so check back.

@m1stral - Just curious as to what point you are trying to make? The copper label's aren't that slim.. and I was saying if "very slim" is what he was going for, then momo's aren't really for him. Yeah they're not like wg's but if we are going to compare momotaro's to Naked and Famous then they would fit more in the skinny guy category.

It's important to remember a lot of japanese brands are american repro's but with better quality of course

^ Cool thanks. Looking at 0705SP or G017MB copper label..

Which would you recommend for a first pair?

I would recommend Japan Blue as your first pair, only $200 and very great jeans. I've tried them all on. and if really slim is what you're going for momotaro isn't your brand. especially the copper labels. Read through the thread you will see pics and descriptions of how they fit. I would strongly reccommend these

Jay is the best to work with, and if your on the west coast take a trip up to bellevue and go to his show room. Amazing collection. I finally settled on the new collab but went there wanting the new copper labels.

Love this belt. Don't love the fact that I accidently turned it blue by wearing it with new denim.

that's the blue mark of quality my friend

these would be really cool

are those pre or post soak?

Pre-soak, I don't plan on soaking them at all, i prefer wearing them raw. In the copper labels which are OW, I was a tagged 29, and these I am a 31 which is more tts for me.

@brownmetallic I am not sure I know it's the vintage label denim dyed with the darker indigo which is used on their going to battle series, but jay designed the fit himself, so that much is different I know. and these of course have the all black stitching throughout and stripes which really gives it wonderful subtlety

posted this in the japanblue momotaro thread already but

new blueowl + momotaro "midnight Warrior" denim

@muddskipp

those look absolutely fantastic

Thank you! I'm gonna keep this thread updated on this pair. They are so slubby, it's a beautiful thing

thanks

the new collabs look too slim for me, but congrats on getting the first ones.

I think its down to either these or a pair of samurai 710 for my next pair

Those are great choices! Momotaro's craftmanship is unbeatable in my opinion, but I think whatever you decide you will be very happy

Can I ask why you decided against picking them up?

It was tough, but the midnight warriors were staring me down and the fit was a little more what I was looking for, and if I went with the midnight model I would be the first person to own them But the detailing on the copper labels is oustanding, i'm thinking that will probably be my next pair

anyone have any experience with the new copper label?

The details make it pretty tempting

Yeah I tried on the new copper labels and was very very close to getting them. They are one washed of course and fit almost like a levi's 501 only a little slimmer. Stunning pair of Denim, you would most definitely not regret those

I'm very proud to be the very first owner of the blueowl+momotaro midnight warrior series denim. I got the very first pair that rampuya produced, will post pictures tomorrow because my camera is out of batteries now and cna't find the charger before I have to leave for work! So I will take some tomorrow in the daylight. These are my first pair of momotaros and I can't even begin to describe how incredible the denim/ fit is. Thank you Jay!

why don't you try the selfedge x flathead x ring ring thread......

obviously didn't know it existed, but thanks

I'm really curious as to how the Selfedge x flathead x ring ring denim evolves. Does anyone have any pictures? It would be greatly appreciated!

yeah state of grace is incredible. Best place for traditional japanese along the whole west coast!! without a doubt! gonna be headed there this summer to get something done, i've been wanting to go there since 09' I have just been deciding on what to get this whole time. idk what happened between horitaka and horiyoshi 3rd, and what made him not further his apprenticeship, but long live horiyoshi!

Already posted this on the Sale/deals thread, but thought the SDA fans should know if you don't by now, but big has a ton of sda jeans on sale
