Thank you for your due diligence, this was a listing error on our end that we have since edited. After discussing with the Samurai brand and learning more information about the S000SJC jeans that was not listed on the original Spring/Summer PDF from the brand, this is the best description we can provide about the denim:

The Weft is made from Samurai's Organic Cotton, a project of growing their own Japanese organic cotton which started in 2012 (In Japanese, but you can read into it on Samurai's website). The Warp uses the same cotton yarn used for the construction of Samurai's "Yamato" series, including the S001JP and S003JP, a long-staple cotton known for it's softer texture. While Samurai declined to comment on the country origin of the Warp yarn, other examples of some long-staple cotton include Zimbabwe cotton. Our apologies for the listing error, but hope this clears up some confusion!

The combination of Deep Indigo warp and Black Indigo weft make this exceptional fabric come to life on these jeans.

Featuring a Deer skin waistband leather patch and Pink color Selvedge ID that is common to all Momotaro jeans, the 0702 model will be available soon at OkayamaDenim.com.

My Momo's where 260 before free shipping, still same price.

Ah yes, I see it now. My momos were 235 and now they are 260. Then again, most brands increase their prices with inflation and stuff. Guess its not too bad : )

It's $260 with Free Worldwide Shipping though so it's more about us just making the price clear and simple for our customers and the price works out to about the same when shipping the the US.

I think the prices have actually increased to reflect the 'free shipping'. I'm sure those Full Count 0105XX were $240 before and now they're $270.

Hey Maynard,

The price is just about the same, as shipping to the US was approximately $30, $35 to the UK and Australia and close to $40 for Russia and other parts of Europe, so on average the price is now more reasonable.

We are pleased to announce that we now offer Free Worldwide Shipping to all of our international clientele. The retail prices on our webstore reflect the price, including shipping and handling costs, to your door. We have been meaning to integrate this update to our site as we want to provide a hassle-free and streamlined experience to international shoppers searching for Japanese denim directly from Japan.

Outfit of the Day in January

Read more about it here.

Really excited to now have this available online for our customers. This retaW Denim Fragrance Liquid in the MOOD* scent is the best deodorizer for denim we have seen. Made in Japan from natural ingredients, it has a clean and fresh scent creating a blend of mint and citrus. Read more about the brand and denim spray here.

What are the chances of having to pay customs fees if i order from the US?

To pay a custom fee when receiving in the US for items is rare, if ever, is what we have found through our experiences. In the UK and other European nations, the customs seem to be more strict and sometimes our customers pay a customs tax on their purchase.

Another piece perfect for layering this winter, we have just landed the full range of Momotaro Thermal Hooded Sweatshirts. The hoodies, featuring two-way zippers and a very functional "waffle" fabric crafted to optimize heat retention, are available online exclusively at OkayamaDenim.com today. 

The Momotaro Thermal Hooded Sweatshirt in Oatmeal

The Going to Battle stripes, now synonymous with the Momotaro brand, have been painted in white on the left arm bicep area of each piece

These sweatshirts by Pure Blue Japan came out beautiful this season. Using a special dyeing method known as Sakizome in Japanese, essentially what this process entails is to rope dye the yarns by hand before the fabric is sewn. This allows for significant depth of the indigo dye and creates a color tone that is hard to otherwise replicate. This Indigo Dyed Crewneck Sweatshirt, is available in size 1-5, online today at OkayamaDenim.com.

Vintage Workwear details like the chainstitch run offs are featured on this piece

Paneled pit construction with air vents give a very functional aesthetic to the sweatshirt

Do you guys ship to the UK? What do you charge for shipping a pair of jeans? I guess im liable for import tax?

We do ship to the UK, and the shipping cost is about $30 and up depending on the weight of the pair.

Thanks, Replied and no problem I understand how busy it is this time of year. Hopefully everything works out, I might have to browse through again ( not around the holidays lol.)

Cheers.

Completely understandable. Wishing you a happy 2014, and thanks for your support!

@OkayamaDenim Will you be at Inspiration LA in February helping out RMC again? I'd love to chat/pick your brain for a bit!

Sorry for the late reply, yes I should be around. Come by and say hello at any point!

Warning: This is not about Denim

Managed to squeeze a couple runs in this past weekend and came across this beautiful shrine in the middle of a trial run on a mountain in Gifu, Japan.

Tradition and Nature collide beautifully.

Hey guys. Just wanted to try hitting you guys up on here since I know you are very busy with holiday orders but I kinda need to see if there is a way to expedite your reply to my email since I'm trying to get this figured out by christmas. My name is Luis I had ordered the pbjs that were sold out . Hopefully you get this and it helps.

Cheers

Hey Luis,

We got back to you on a couple e-mails. Please read them over and reply us via e-mail. Thank you for your patience!

Great looking pair of chinos - are they raw or one wash? If raw, how much will they shrink? Thanks

Hey lance,

They are One Wash, and shrinkage is minimal if any.

We just received two new jean cuts and a pair of Chinos by Pure Blue Japan this week to our online store.

The XX-013 is the same Slim Tapered cut as the original XX-011, but using the same Slubby Indigo Blue denim fabric that is used on the XX-003, XX-004, and XX-005.

The XX-017 is an updated version of the XX-011, and XX-013, again using the same cut as the original XX-011 but with an updated Cobalt Blue Selvedge denim fabric that is new to the PBJ collection. Incredible detail was invested into the development of this fabric, and even in the construction no detail was skipped. Even the chainstitch thread construction matches the vibrant Cobalt Blue color of the inner fabric.

Finally, we also have from the Pure Blue Japan brand, a special pair of Vintage Chinos that have attempted to recreate the feel and fit of a pair of Vintage Chino pants. The pants are of a beautiful Camel color with a slightly slubby feeling fabric that adds to the character of this already stylish pair. UNIVERSAL Japan® hardware make this pair our favorite pants this winter.

All three models are available online today at OkayamaDenim.com.

Brown's Beach Muffler

We have several new products from famed outerwear brand, Brown's Beach. Originally produced in Worcester, MA, the brand has been revived in Japan and reproduction products have been rolling out since 1901.

Has anyone emailed or been able to get in contact with Okayama Denim? It has been a month since the last time anyone responded about my order. I wonder if something may have happened as they have not updated this thread in a while. Am I the only one having trouble getting a response?

Just landed a few standard pieces by Momotaro in all sizes at our webstore online. Included in the new delivery are the Deep Blue denim versions of the three original Copper Label series. They include the G019-MB, G014-MB, and the G017-MB.
All three jeans reflect the same cuts as the other G003-MB, G004-MB, and the G007-MB models in the series. The main difference is the Deep Blue indigo denim fabric used on the original three cuts of the series.

Two white lines on left arm representing Japan, have become synonymous with the Momotaro brand.

I love that shirt. I hope it will be available in sizes that would fit guys like me with bigger chest measurements. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Oh and the 1108XX's are just perfect and the red bandana is great too. Thanks for the fantastic service.

Glad the order worked out and the jeans fit well. Regarding the shirt, they are only produced up to a size 44. But this year (compared to previous seasons) all the shirts by Momotaro fit slightly larger and closer to western sizing.
