Japan Blue Momotaro

[chambo2008]

Managed to buy the new pair from blue owl, sumi ink dyed and should be coming on Tuesday and will update with photos, in the meantime some overexposed photos of the anniversary jeans

These need to be repaired before I start wearing them again.

Momo 0701, owned for a long time. Wear is less than total ownership.

Recent wash on the broken twill denim, colour is more accurate in the closer photos

anyone go true to your waist size on a 0605?  how does it fit compared to size down 1 from your waist 0605?

Damn, very nice pick up!!

Make sure to get some fit pics up also

[chambo2008]

Mate, they fit like a glove 10/10

The 15th anniversary jeans had a recent wash

I caved and bought a pair of Momos. Honestly, the 15.7 feels like 13 to me.

I've worn blue jeans for majority of my life, time to add some colour ✌️

Momotaro 0901 size 32, worn on and off since 2015 (when I had them tapered slightly). They’ve been my dog walking jeans for the last 2 winters and are now heading for the bin as the crotch is falling apart, having already been repaired. I’ve really enjoyed this pair and at 15.7oz, they’re the heaviest weight jeans I’ve owned.

^ I have a brand new raw pair of those in a 33, stashed away for probably the same amount of time. I'd honestly forgotten about them – they'd be a little snug in the waist and no doubt need hemming (I seem to recall they had an unfeasibly long inseam), but maybe I can make them work. Nice job!

[Maynard Friedman]

Thanks @mondo. You’re right, the inseam was about 39” in the raw state!

eye watering... as in painfully expensive eye-watering.

I think these are the same thing in a slightly different cut:

My recent trip to Japan yielded an obscene amount of jeans, at least enough to weather a 15-year storm, so I figured I needed to repurpose some pairs for summer so that I could still wear most of them, giving them the attention they deserve. I have always wanted a pair of Momo's, so I decided to cuff a wide-leg pair (originally 21" outseam but now running about 18" or so with cuff). I stitched them up, and after Boncoura's post, I'm planning on washing these pretty regularly to achieve similar results (more likely two years or several to achieve the same result).

IIY4 pair are getting repaired so breaking them in...

Was wearing Japan Blue yesterday... Very refreshing water temp in the San Juans.

Japan Blue Jacket that I've had for 2.5ish years. Many washes

These are my momotaro 0405-v  15.7oz

no battle stripe and exactly how I like it.

this pair is a size 33W my more relaxed pair. I also have the exact pair in a 32W which still fit but a bit more snug in the waist. One tip I will give anyone with momotaro is the waist barely stretch more than 1cm and that’s pushing it. If u are stuck between two size go for the bigger one. As u can always wear a belt if needed. I soaked these once before wearing as u can still keep the rigid feeling without walking around in stiff cardboard feel.

i am just below 5 10 and weigh 12.5 stones

Momotaro look like they are heading a new direction. On their official website the current line is updated with new leather patch not the classic peach boy logo, the buttons are different and the denim cuts are more modern. I didn’t see a single pair that has a similar cut to the current stuff.

cant say that I’m impressed. 

[chambo2008]

So I was just randomly looking on eBay and managed to find this pair it's the momotaro X blue owl 12 overdyed.

I have the original pair( on the right) for some time now so you can really see the colour comparison.

Pair on the left is the Sumi ink dyed that I wear for work 5 days a week, supposedly they will fade to blue but I feel like it might be a few more years until I see it.

 

[exaptavist]

Both the Sumi and the overdyed look great @chambo2008, I like how the dye has tinted the (battle?) stripes too
