Japan Blue Momotaro

[Bokkepoot]

@rublyblue: nice progress! Makes me miss my 0201 even more.

You had one pair right?

What happed to them?

[Gold Soaked Afternoon]

I'm contemplating between JBxMomo JB0701 or Naked & Famous Japan Heritage?...both $200. Any thoughts either direction? I posted the same question in the N&F thread, and unsurprisingly, all responses were in favor of the Nakeds.

Biased users are biased. Why don't you ask BlueOwl for an opinion?, he sells both.

I still have them. But, let's say it like it is, I got too fat.

[kayodic]

Max; yes.... another 0201 in w34 will be awesome!!! someday you'll get them as you requested

GSA; both are great jeans.... difficult to answer it but i personally will choose Japan Blue x Momotaro, why? because the jeans are 100% made traditionally in Kojima from the fabric manufacture - jeans assembly and as Rubyblue already explained about the fabric, it's 14.8 oz vintage selvage denim woven on Toyodas. well, i just like the originality of the jeans. besides the fact that you'll have Momotaro feeling in more modern fit.

but if you're still confused, you can always get the NFxMomotaro, the second batch will be available soon (i guess). denim are special produced by Momotaro and made in "Weird Guy" Naked & Famous fit.

tigerprawn; blueowl? or you can contact [email protected] or [email protected] (rubyblue), i think these guys will help you to get one.

[Max Power]

All this talk about my 0201 made me get it out and take some macros. I think this denim has really good fading potential.

[rubyblue]

Nice Max. How old are they? You should wear those you know....

[Max Power]

Yeah, I know... they have been worn roughly 6 months before retirement (unless I loose some weight).

[kayodic]

The peach boy needs some love!!!

same age as Max's 0201

[Oldswag]

good progress.

how does the true color compare with that shown in the pictures?

your jeans almost look black that's fading to grey

[kayodic]

thank you Oldswag...

It's hard to get the true color since i only used the natural light but the color is not that different from the true color which is a bit darker.

take a note that the fabric is not the same as other Momotaro jeans. the denim is soft 14.5 oz denim dyed in darkest pure indigo and woven tightly so it has consistent color and smooth surface. these pair give the subtle grayish blue fading, not the typical Momotaro vibrant blue as you noticed on Rubyblue's 0901 or Max Power's 0201.

Just got the JB skinny cut last week from Blue owl. The skinny straight are more tapered from the knee down and have a noticeably lower rise. Not much, but it's there. The fly is also shorter than the 0701.

Great jeans for any price for sure. According to Jay at Blue Owl, Japan Blue is pricing these at a relatively low price-point for their initial introduction to generate buyers.

[rubyblue]

na... pulled the curve a bot so the contrast is more visible... but resulting in slightly over-exposed whites. Prepped for B/W conversion in fact (documenting purposes).

[Max Power]

The inner thread of my Momotaros came loose, so i had to restitch it with Nudie thread, the only one I had in reach.
