Japan Blue Momotaro

[chambo2008]

I say soak, won't be much shrinking thou maybe a 1 inch in the waist, 0.5 everywhere else

This is through my experence with momo, but they only stretch 0.5 everywhere and a inch in waist so fit mainly stays the same through out

[M1stral]

Thanks for your input. I've put them in the kitchensink right now. With the hottest tapwater I could get. Around 65 degrees celscius. For how long should I soak? 30 mins, 1 hour? I guess a soak of multiple hours doesn't make sense.

[XXXL]

yeah 30mins to an hour should be fine

[Flash]

i just got my 0701's today and there too small , kind of pissed cause the denim is one of the nicest ive seen and im sure it only gets better with wear , so ive decided to put them on the supermarket

Well, I thought after a one hour soak I'd pull them out. But some points were still dry. So I refreshed the water, hoping all the cottonfibers will just suck in the water.

I'll check back in one hour and them hang them to dry.

[M1stral]

In case somebody is interested. I got between 2 and 3 inches shrinkage on the inseam of my 0201's. Soaked once, refreshed the water during the soak after about 45 minutes. Soaked total time aprox. 1,5 hour.

thought i'd let you guys know first that i'm going to sell my momotaro x context grand indigo, 32x32 (hemmed at BiG). PM if interested.

[kalpa1103]

701 Fit Update:

[fit] right after the initial double soak:

After [approx] 3wks of continoius wear.

[BrownMetallic]

tnx for the rep guys.

btw, FYI: 'did another double soak since i got back from London. the waist has stretched out to 34, even after x2 soaks__ w/c btw measured after a couple of hours wearing them ** [measurement compared to previous soaks Xposted below]

w= 34, ins= 32.75, f/rise= 9.75, b/rise= 14.5, u/t= 12.25 kne= 9, l/o= 8.25

*** u/t measured 1 inch below crotch, imo is more accurate= 11.75],

Momotaro 701 :: 15.7 oz :: 100% Zimbabwe cotton :: SU1 @W34 :: fit : same as PBJ 005/007__ 'cept the for the slightly tapered hem :: double hot soaked :: current measurements : w= 33.75, ins [hemmed]= 33, f/rise= 10, b/rise= 14, u/t= 12.25, kne= 9, l/o= 8.5 :: fit & measurement__ exactly like PBJ 007 'cept on the leg opening.

Just recently broke out my 0905sp when I had to fix some holes on another pair. I forgot how nice the denim is on these.

EDIT: sorry about the pic size- I don't really know what I'm doing.

[altemp]

So do essentially all Momotaros run smaller than tagged? The more I see from this company the more I want a pair.

Once bought I will complete my trinity of denim (slubby PBJs, smooth skinny Diors and straight smooth Momotaros).

[Max Power]

I measured the 0201 and the going to battle 0201.

My 0201 unsoaked: tagged 32*36

- Waist: 85 cm / 33,4"

- front rise: 27,5 cm / 10,8"

- upper thigh: 29,5 cm / 11,6"

- knee: 23 cm / 9"

- leg opening: 22,5 cm / 8,9"

Another raw 31*36 0201.

Waist: 83 cm/ 32,68"

Leg Opening: 21,5 cm / 8,46"

Surprisingly, the one Wash Version (Going to War Label, same cut) measured almost the same, the denim's of course much softer and felt almost a bit stretchy compared to the raw one: 31*36

Waist: 81 cm / 31,89".

My 0201 worn for 4 Months

[altemp]

Starting to look pretty awesome. I need a pair of momos.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, I'm sure these will turn out fine (but I'm not sure how long I can resist to buy new jeans).

Excuse the shameless plug but I have a new pair for sale on ebay - see item no above........

Last time I visited this thread I asked if I should soak these babies. And following advice I did. Though after the soak they still were too long, so I hemmed them a little. Yesterday was the first day I put them on and today I made a fitpic.

I was wondering what you all think of it.

Edit: Momo 0201 btw, size 29.

[altemp]

I don't think you can ask for a better fit from 0201s. Really nice.

[HoustonChris]

I'd say they turned out really well. As far as I'm concerned, the length is perfect. How do they feel?

[M1stral]

Well, after the soak they got a bit softer. Though not completely limp. They are really comfortable to wear and to touch, though remaining some kind of rigid.

So they probably soften up some more with wear and conform more to my body, setting some creases eventually.

We'll see what time brings, this is the second day I'm wearing these. Lovely piece of craftsmanship.

[Denton]

they definitely soften with more wear, although soaking of course speeds up that process a lot

noticed today that my phone has worn a hold through the pocket bag on my 705. eek.

[M1stral]

@ Denton:

For how long have you been wearing them?

Considering the denim. I think this is the best I had yet. The texture etc. it's all beautiful and high quality. Just looking at it, makes you realise this is some good pair of jeans.

I'm wondering how it will evolve. Only time will tell.

Great fit...I've had my eye these jeans for a while now but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I was looking into getting some 29s as well. Would you mind posting the measurements? (waist, f. rise, b. rise, thigh, knee, hem)

Thanks

[M1stral]

Sure no prob, I will take measurements tomorrow... That is, if you can wait till tomorrow, ha.

Must mention I did soak them and haven't measured them pre-soak, for I purchased them in a store and just tried a few on untill I got a fit I was satisfied with.

[justuhgeek]

That's fine. i just need the measurements so that I can have a general idea of the fit. Hopefully, they are not too slim because I heard these don't stretch much.

thanks again

[offyatree]

^ i have the same pair like him (0201) in size 30 and they have stretched out to a 32.5. i never soaked them since i got them.

here's the measurement from BIG:

Measurements are in inches and before washing:

average shrinkage: 2" in the waist & inseam, 1/2" in rise,thigh,knee, & leg opening

further shrinkage may occur with high heat washing and high heat machine drying

[xxhalcyonxx]

How long have you worn them and why didn't you soak them?

[offyatree]

had them since July 2010. why i didnt soak them? cuz i chose so.
