Japan Blue Momotaro

[Broark]

Peach weft looks pretty amazing and somewhat like a lighter version The Strike Gold 21XX series denim which I've had my eye on for awhile.

Thanks! It's my first 'real' pair of raws (or at least, that I've worn for more than half a year) and I've really fallen in love with them. The fit, the nice electric blue and the fantastic detailing makes me want to wear them for a long time, so I ain't retiring them yet!

It was my pleasure recommending a pair

Quite the pairs of jeans I like both the Natural indigo weft and the peach. So much denim so little time.

 

Let's not forget that momotaro teased an 18oz fabric on facebook a while back...

[Regain]

If I'm correct, that fabric should be the same as the fabric used on the Sage 18 oz marcher.

That denim looks slubby (like oni slubby) but none of the Momo's trademark peach fuzz.

It's a Japan Blue fabric. Even stated at Sage's website where it is sourced from.

yeah, I was thinking it might have been when I saw the sage stuff

Why are momos so cheap here http://www.okayamadenim.com/collections/momotaro-jeans ? Are they any different. They aren't japan blues... Because its direct from Okayama?

I think that's because it's not through a US retailer, I could be wrong.

We are based in Japan and have direct relationships with the brands that produce denim and indigo garments in Kojima, Okayama, and thus are able to provide the Japanese retail price (or very close to it) to our international customers. Our products are shipped directly from Japan to you, and so we are able to avoid many additional costs that foreign retailers may experience when selling the same products.

In my browsing i noticed that the measurements on the 0805sp look like a nice fit for me, but theres not too much info on them. Anyone have any fit/fade pics of them, besides whats on OD.com? Thanks

They fade as all other GTB or Vintage models by Momotaro. Just on the last Evolution of denim page is a wonderful faded pair.

[KiwiToast]

I recently received a pair of lightly used momos (these: http://blueowl.us/scripts/psp/VB_Bridge3.dll?VBPROG=\bin\shop.prodt.detail&SKU=7960000 ), and when I got them I find it pretty hard to button all the buttons and find it pretty tight. I heard these were worn for about 2-3 weeks, and I'm not sure if I should try and wear them to stretch them. Does anyone know how much these would/will stretch?

[Rightyow77]

Just don't, sell them off and buy a size up.

Post wash pics. Effective wear: 5 months.

Plus one.  Sell 'em.  (PS: been there done that re: having to resell momos- its a pain in the ass, but the the weave is too tight to stretch on these no matter what you do in them).

[Rightyow77]

Since my 5k need some serious repair I went on a bit of a shopping spree. Bought a pair of the JB406 because the Memphis and Zim. cotton combo was just too tempting. Figured I would switch it up a bit since I have only been really wearing repros. With the generous seat and tapered leg these should fit the bill, that and for $150 I couldn't say no!

Here they are after something like 6 months and one wash recently.

It's quite hard to get some descent honey combs. As a reminder, they're 'one wash' jeans.

The fit is tighter in the top than sda 103 but slightly larger from the knees. It's quite low-rise. It usually looks better with T-shirts than shirts.

 

Plus: Great mix of slub and vertical fading fabric, beautiful contrast, great construction (the crotch area seems to be invincible)

Minus: One wash, pretty hard to break in

 

Fit and fades. Hope this helps.

 Cultizm (Europe) lists JBxMomo with 38 and 34 inch inseams

I love how those are coming along, what a great shade of blue! what size are they, and would you say the measurements on OD.com are accurate?

Almost every time that I see killer fades I read the description and see that they are Momos!!

[Mr Black]

Can anyone help identify what model of Momotaro's these are...

 

http://www.yoox.com/uk/42300059RF/item?dept=men#cod10=42300059RF&sizeId=

 

It's all a little vague. I've tried to have a look around on the web to see what models have donut buttons, no branding etc but have drawn a bit of a blank.

 

In eagerness I've already pulled the trigger and they're on their way to me. At that amazing price it seemed too good a deal to pass up but now i'm wondering what i've bought

 

 

**Edit. Have done some better digging around. they seem to be some form of lower grade diffusion line. will have to see what they're like when they arrive.

 

Anyone got any experience of the fading on these?

They could be early Japan Blues, when the divide between the brands was not that sharp. But with the given information it's hard. I think you will have to be the pioneer. That said, I have not yet seen a faded pair of Japan Blues that really impressed me much (but this doesn't mean anything).

I used to have an older pair of the JB line, ended up selling them but got a lot of wear out of them. The denim is stubborn, but fades to a beautiful hue that is among my favorites. Actually I liked it so much I ordered another pair in the tapered model. Here's a few pictures of the end product 

 

 

Wore these for about 7 months, then stopped and grew out of them. Had they still fit these would have gotten a lot more wear

Ok, that's a nice one (with a lot of potential). Momotaro denim in general is not that easy to fade and JB seems not to be an expection. I'll try to take some pics of my roping on the 0905SP - when I wore them the other day I was pretty surprised how nice it turned out.

[Mr Black]

Fingers crossed. Will update on arrival

[Max Power]

As promised: my 0905 SP (details only), worn about 10 months, maybe more. Some washes by hand and by machine, can't remember how much. I love the roping, though many of my jeans rip on the roping edges (front and back), can't explain why.

[Rightyow77]

Beautiful roping on those Max. My JBs didn't rope that aggressively, maybe because they were Sanforized? Also the hem was chain stitched but it wasn't as right nor as thin as your maybe less pull on the fabric too? I washed them generously as I do all my jeans.
