Japan Blue Momotaro

[HoustonChris]

Agreed. The stacks look absurd. He could easily cut 2-3 inches off and still have plenty of stacking, but they would hang better and have a cleaner profile.

@ Hawkway:

Yeah those are JBxMomo...

Why shouldn't he hem by the way. They are freakin' long. Too much stacking going on, even if you like it.

kay has the dopest fit around, and her's are 38". . .

i like stacking, but that is too much for me...

[Max Power]

They must be hemmed if he doesn't want to look like a hobbit. The guys are right, 2-3" can easily be taken off. And a comparison with kay - you can only lose, sorry.

[kayodic]

so here's the thing, (i assume that our cuts are pretty much similar, 0100SP is based on NF skinny guy fit and so does my NFxMomo) he has more slender thighs and legs than mine so the fit looks a tad loose and the stacks seems to be continuing until his thighs. you guys know how much i love stacking but for this case i would suggest him to get hemmed as well.

for comparison, this is my early day fit of NFxMomo

see the difference? thanks to my big thighs and calves

[jeanbannon]

sorry for the late reply. at this moment the jawnz is not mine yet, so i haven't hem it yet either. if I do buy it though, I will definitely hem it for sure. thanks !

[M1stral]

Thought I'd make some fitpics after some wear... 2 weeks give or take. The've loosened up a bit.

[chambo2008]

Where did they loosen up

[tintinsonson]

wanna get some advices from you guys, I have a pair of APC PS stretched out to 32(tag 27), and now I am thinking a pair of 0701, what size should I go for?

[ITSDANDIY]

Visit the sizing charts on nordicdenimhouse, they are accurate as it can get. Then compare the postwash size to your APCs

Lol, let's put it this way. They are more comfortable than they were in the beginning... But I agree, it isn't really noticable in the pics.

Enjoyed reading about your visit ITSDANDIY, thanks. Those hand loomed jeans are somthing!

i'd say 32. i am 30 waist and have sz 32 0701 and they are my favorite fitting jeans (i machine wash tho).

Litlle update on my 0905SP, worn since April.

[wgmds]

those "true" momos fade much more nicely than the collabs. good work!

[kayodic]

^so very true.... momo has crunchy electric blue fade..

Flo, your 0905sp are stunning for 6 months progress + the fact you rotate em with IH (cant rep both your IH and Momo argghh...)

[Max Power]

Thanks, dear Ika. But your NFxMomos are much more stunning...

[rubyblue]

Can't reo Max, but nice progress :-) I'll post an update of my pairs this week.

[conqueror]

my vintage 0701's have been worn for about a month now - most extreme leg twist i've ever had on a pair of jeans (right leg). for the first three weeks or so it was just slight but in the last week it seems to have twisted alot more. i know most people are into it but this is almost too much...

[Max Power]

really? Can you post some pics? I have no leg twist at all on both 0201 and 0905 SP. Plus, mostly leg twists are more pronounced in the left leg (on your left leg). Curious how it looks like....

[conqueror]

i probably can in a week or so (housemate has my camera) - and yeah, i think this is the first time i've had serious leg twist on my RIGHT leg as well. the left leg is perfectly straight.

[rubyblue]

Same (leg twist) occurred with both my 0201 & 0901... probalbly due to the amount of water they've seen...

[conqueror]

i only did an initial soak/wash, haven't done one since. glad (?) to see i'm not alone though.

My 0201's have been soaked and washed and I've had legtwist too. The 0701's haven't had a soak yet.

But I find it pretty awkward that, although my G007-MB's, which are one wash. don't have a leg twist. Makes you wonder if it's actually water that creates leg twist instead of other factors (direction of the weave maybe?).

[akka225]

ditto on leg twist

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the shrinkage causes the leg twist on unsanforized denim. and shrinkage occurs with water, temperature and agitation (while washing).

RHT or LHT indeed determines the direction of the twist. Broken Twill should have no twist (AFAIK is was invented to not twist)

This doesn't explain the fact that my one wash Copper Labels don't have leg twist. As far as I know every jeans starts at loomstate and gets treatment as desired to make it to what it is (e.g. raw unsanforised, raw sanforised, distressed etc.). So...

Not doubting your knowledge, but my guess is that there is more to legtwist than only shrinkage and the direction of the weave. Maybe the tightness of the weave, some processes after loomstate?

I'm not stating I know it better, but this is a nice thing to discuss and get knowledgable about.

+ rep for clarification on this item somewhat...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'm quite sure there are many factors that determine the leg twist. Some twist more, some less. Warehosue and Denime jeans have a strong leg twist, Samurai not so much.

I remember a post from Paul T about a sanforized denim Cone developed that also had leg twist (what isn't that pronounced on unsanforized denim).

The copper label denim is different to the vintage label denim, right?

Litlle update on my 0905SP, worn since April.

those whiskers are so defined. any tips on how to get those nice fades (esp. whiskers) like yours? i had my momos for 2 months but still not much fades
