Damn SUFU, haha. thanks for the effort!

ok, they are new - Gordon saw them last week in Japan and compares them to PBJ-007 but not as slubby. I have asked him about the model/cut and to try to order a pair - we'll see... by the way HoustonChris, Taavi from Nordic Denim House was extremely helpful - great guy, great suggestion

[mlyngard]

i tried on my 0701 sz 29 and they didnt really come close to what they are called: tight straight. the only tight part is the waist. they've shrunk pretty much to their potential according to the momo site. debating whether i should keep them..i would like the thigh and calf to be a bit smaller..maybe should go with 28...

I think if you want skinny tapered jeans, these aren't the way to go.

But honestly (and I speak from experience), if you like them enough, give them time and let them break in. Downsizing more is only gonna lead to pain with Momos.

Momo 0701's thigh and calf seem very straight, loose and baggy when these jeans are new. Yet once the denim gets pliable and softens, these will drape much better and really take on the slim fit that they are. Good denim fits only reveal themselves with weeks of wear, and that's particularly so with this amazing denim.

(they also respond well to a pass through the dryer when they're damp but not wet- and don't turn inside out or you'll get irregular abrasion spots!)

[Plalai04]

That is a crazy Momo for just 6 months !!!

Great job !!

[chambo2008]

how many wash's?

[lance]

Jaysus - just received another email from Taavi - apparently, Tenue de Nimes blog is wrong and the jeans they are showing are the Grand Blue which have black/indigo (similar to the Context collab) and not indigo/indigo. Think I'll go with the PBJ-009 when Gordon restocks, this is too confusing haha. some day I'll find a pair of Momotaro and Samurai, just not today! Yup, nice work renatho

I see Tenue de Nimes edited their blog to reflect the mistake - Momotaro must have contacted them or Taavi or they follow SUFU.

anyone heard about the new momotaro x kikstyo?

oh and btw momotaro x take 5 jeans is already out!

[Denton]

I don't understand the kikstyo jeans, they look like normal 701s with extra branding... maybe the fabric is different?

chambo2008

[altemp]

I'm sure kalpa1103 appreciates your guys support on his fit but I already bought them from him.

Unfortunately I think you are going to have wash that crap out or it could rot the fabric. And yeah, it will probably leave a stain whatever you do.

Spot-wash them with laundry soap or dr bronners.

If there is still a stain, simply hand wash them, you won't lose much indigo if any.

Hello, is the momotaro 0201 cut sort of loose in the tights?

best regards

[Max Power]

depends on how you define loose and of your body shape. Mine are rather tight and I'm far from being fat.

Same here...

Any chance on getting momos to stretch 2 inches? Just got my 0701 in 29 but I think I should have looked for 30 because they run a little small. They fit perfectly everywhere but right at the waist. I've gotten around half an inch stretch after 5-6 hours but it feels like an uphill battle.

[Denton]

i think you can safely call it slim straight

measure your ...tights... and compare to the measurements posted by stores an stuff

altemp: i did the same thing and they eventually stretched about three inches, but it was a battle and a half. you probably have at least a couple weeks of discomfort ahead of you

[altemp]

Ah wicked. Thanks for the confidence. I didn't intentionally size down but I really don't want to have to re-sell.

Cheers+rep

"Momotaro teamed up with N&F for this first ever co-brand between the two labels. The 14.5 oz denim was produced in Okayama Japan on vintage US shuttle looms and crafted into the Skinny Guy fit. I appreciate the copper rivets and iron Momotaro branded button components. A thin deerskin leather patch was placed on the back to finish off the Sanforized denim– meaning it won't shrink much if you choose to wash or soak them. The inseam also has Momotaro's trademark pink/peach inseam thread and the pocket bags have a Japanese Rising Sun and the Canadian Maple leaf."
