applebottom jeenz

those are peaches you fucktard, not some apple shit jeans,

[choice_genes]

hahaha

anyway which model are those? why only 80 produced? I'm assuming they're natural indigo dyed? what kinda cut?

[bonjin]

What's the stretching like for these? I thought, generally, zimbawean cotton tend to stretch a bit (depends on tightness of the weave etc, as well, of course). I'm sortof in between sizing and I'm trying to figure out if I should go for 34 (and hope for some stretching) or a 36 (in which case I don't really want any stretching). Would these be easy to stretch out like 1.5"-2"?

[choice_genes]

I said some stuff on the previous page re the stretching on my pair. They have stretched an inch, but I don't think they would stretch much more.

But maybe if you wanna be all hardcore, and soak the waistband and wear them damp to stretch them out more, or something like that, then they might stretch a whole two inches. I couldn't tell you definitively though, sorry

[choice_genes]

There's not much to see here, but figured I would post these up anyway. I have worn these most days in the 1.5 months I've had them. They are only just starting to show signs of fading.

Here are some updated fit pics as well (sorry they are blurry...). They fit pretty much exactly the same as they did after the original stretching.

[bonjin]

yeah, I read what you thought about the sizing. Just figured I'd throw it out there in case anyone else knew too. Thanks anyway. These look really cool, I just have to figure out what to do about sizing...

me too. i'm really concerned about the thighs though. they seem really tight. a 29 measures 30 in the waist but only like 10.5 in the thigh? a 28 samurai measures 12inches in the thigh!

[bonjin]

Thighs are often ok for me. I usually wear a 36 in most true to size jeans and my thighs measure 23.5" at the widest point. I'm more concerned about the waist.

[ktouran6923]

those are peaches you fucktard, not some apple shit jeans,

first of all your a fucking idiot. If you look back I was one of the first people to have a pair of momotaros. Yes I realize they arent actually applebottom. there still tacky as fuck.

but I guess rockin peaches on your jeans is da hype .

Wondering if anyone actually bought the Aikidou collabs that "never fade" or if anyone has had any first hand impressions? I know ZawBanjito said they were impressive in person a few pages back, and I'm considering buying these...

My new Momotaros! Slim fit and low rise.

The cut is kinda like diors 21 cm cut (and i love that cut).

More people needs to look into this brand.

The colour is pretty much like eternals, though a little more black in it.

Stitching on the inside of the legs is pink btw!

This is a size 29 and i use a size 29 in dukes and a 30 in SExIH01, so they are pretty much true to size.

BTW, Aho, did you ever got around buying those aikidou collabs?

[edmond]

great fit on those!

[swooc]

they look alot like pbjs blk from that pic.

[Opie]

Thanks guys. Yeah the colour is very very dark. shit.. forget what i said about buying.. they are already fraying!

This is the outside seam on the thighs:

This shit shouldn't be happening man..

[edmond]

shoudnt be happneing with you sizing down too much eh?

[Opie]

Nah, they are supposed to be very tight around my thighs.

I ussually buy size 29 and actually to get a size 29 waist i should have bought a pair of 28's, which i opted not to do... Damn i'm anoyed..

[edmond]

ohh too bad..

[opethrapture]

Great fit Opie.

[aho]

Opie its a great fit and thats too bad about that hole! In response to your question, I never ended up getting the aikidou collab but it's still on my want list, thanks for reminding me!

[Opie]

I'm just going to repair the hole myself. shouldn't be all that bad..

I contacted aikidou to hear if they shipped to denmark, but they haven't gotten back to me.. anyone know?

[sm2s]

the crotch on my pair was coming apart after the first couple wears as well.. for me the jeans were fucking tight. i got a 28 and wear a 27 in diors. after about 15 wears they finally stretched out OKAY. still got tight when i would carry my wallet/phone/keys. great fit on your pair, you look damn tall.

i wish i could wear mine more.. i had started putting a lot of wear into them right before i got my sexfhs

[choice_genes]

great fit man.

re quality issues - I've had mine for about 6 months, worn them hard for 3. They fit tight around the thighs, and I have not had any problems with stitching coming apart there...I guess you were just a bit unlucky.

However the thread around the back pocket where i keep my wallet has recently started to come undone a bit.

but in my experience, the construction/quality is pretty damn good.

[rockon99]

^^ if anyone is interested and lives near portland, Collier stocks Momotaro. I think thats the only store in oregon that sells them and a few others..

[ansem975]

where else can you order momotaro jeans online besides BiG?

[Opie]

I think momotaro ships directly actually

[Revsta]

So I'm really interested in getting a pair of these. Can anyone tell me a decent baggyish fit that will fade? I'm wearing my Red-D Dry Bones right now and I'm looking for a longish inseam (36+) and a baggyish/roomy high-rise fit, and I like the Momotaro idea. I wish these were easier to look at and that more people carried more fits in the states. That natural indigo getting darker thing is nuts!

I have these in a size 32, all the shrink is finally out after a couple of hot soaks, a hot wash and tumble dry (going for a vintage fade) they measure BIG style:

waist- 15

inseam - 36

rise front- 10

rise back - 14

thigh- 12

knee- 8.25

hem- 8.25

hope that helps

[themexican]

You have those?!?

As in "those million dollar never fading jeans that even edmond hasn't got his hands on"?!

Where is my pictures?!

Those would be cool but I have the ones from BIG here:

[poly800rock]

so did you go true to size on the low rise slim fit choice?

[choice_genes]

let me preface this response by saying that I get confused by sizing questions....

i wear my jeans on the hips, i just measured that point and it is 33" (although when i bought the jeans 7 months ago it was probably 32 )

I bought a size 30 one-wash which according to BIG measures up at 31 (i'd say this is about right)

(for reference, I wear 30 in imperial dukes, 30 in skull 5010xx 6x6, 29 comfortably in nudies...)

these jeans have stretched out to about 32.5 i reckon. with that said, sometimes I find them a little painful to wear these days. yes, they will stretch a bit, but past that point they are quite unforgiving - i think it's because they are quite a tightly-woven denim. they don't give a whole lot.

my advice - you can maybe size down one, but definitely not two.
