Momotaro - Texture Selvedge Custom Black Battle Stripes - Natural Tapered.

The 0605-82 from Momotaro is a much roomier fit in the top block with a nice strong taper. These guys are for our shoppers who need a little more room in the seat, but still want the look of a tight leg opening. We couldn't help but be enamored by the texture of this denim. A low tension weaving technique helped create this 16oz slubby powerhouse.

For our initial run with this denim, we went with black battle stripes to make the denim a little more subtle. It has been the most requested pair we've ever had online, and we've finally brought them back. We've seen fades on these down the line, and we can't bring ourselves to move on from the black. It'll be something we're always drawn to. The black will sluff off more naturally with the denim, and from what we no know, will stand out nicely against a heavily faded pair. This is crocking that makes perfect sense.

Momotaro always includes signature details, and this pair is no different.

Momotaro - 15.7oz - Black Selvedge Custom Black Battle Stripes - Tight Tapered.

This is Momotaro's slimmest fit, but we think it suits the black. Black denim is meant to at minimum be slim, and if you size down on these they're going to be skinny. We started our initial run from Momotaro with 16oz denim due to the texture, but again and again, received requests for the 15.7oz. So, we decided to double down and get the black/black as well. And...we added the black GTB stripe. This is Momo's iconic "Vintage Label" denim. Its a fluffy Zimbabwe cotton with lots of fading potential, even in black.

Due to requests, we had to bring back the black stripe in this 15.7oz fabric and we thought, why not include it on the black pair as well.

Momotaro - 18oz Heavy Indigo/Beige Selvedge with Beige Battle Stripes - Natural Tapered.

We were so tempted to add our signature black battle stripes to this denim, but ultimately our eye for a unique, new color won out. We really love the way the creamy color of the stripes compliments the beige weft on this denim. If you've been following us at all in the last 9 years, you know how much we love an earth-tone colored weft. It's also right in our heaviness sweet spot. We typically wear between 14-18oz denim at the shop. This pair will give you that iconic "dirty fade" that's so sought after by denim heads. The beige weft will eventually poke through giving you a rich tone that only comes from unbleached fibers. This is a special one with a slight slub that we can't imagine people will be happy slipped through their fingers.

The fit this round is really impeccable. We think they opened up both fits to allow for the heavier denim, which in our opinion suits these fits. The fabric is also draping extremely well for an 18oz denim.

Momotaro - 14.7oz "Legacy Blue" Selvedge - Narrow Tapered.

It was easy to see this denim was special, even though we never got to see it in person until it arrived. But, my goodness is it fancy. This is the definition of a "Legacy" denim. It's got so much texture and hair that we had trouble capturing it in images. While some of the fancy bells and whistles Momo is known for, such as the pink inseam and ticker stuck around, they really brought this one back to basics. There's a gorgeous left pocket "Peach" arcuate that we've been waiting for, for ages. We can't say enough about this Zimbabwe Cotton either. They've infused it with Silk this round for a nice hand feel and tons of character. It screams vintage. And the leather patch on this baby is super thick and riveted in place. You'll notice the veg tan piece has been slightly warped from touching water. We can only expect even more great things in its future.

Momotaro - 15.7oz - Zimbabwe Selvedge Custom Black Battle Stripes - Wide Straight.

We've been looking for something a little wider than the narrow taper, and we've found just that. This Wide Straight, also known as the classic straight is just the thing to break you out of your slim jeans. We started our initial run of Momotaro with 16oz denim due to the texture, but again and again, received requests for the 15.7oz. This is Momo's iconic "Vintage Label" denim. The lore about its fading potential is heard far and wide

Momotaro - 13oz - Year of the Rabbit Jeans - Narrow Taper.

We felt very lucky to be a part of this limited edition "Year of the Rabbit" release. These were right up our alley with special little touches throughout. They really went above and beyond with the theme, starting with the rabbit mosaic. You have to look close, but you'll see little guys in an arctic colorway forming the GTB stripes. The hair on the patch is a really nice touch as well (it's not rabbit). There's custom details interworked throughout, including printed "Year of the Rabbit" pocket bags and jacquard liner. The interior is bonkers. There is of course all of Momo's standard, but incredible details. But, the capper has to be the peaking Rabbit laser engraved on the front coin pocket. It was a total surprise to us, and a happy one at that. The fabric is also an icon. The 13oz really shines with this one-wash treatment and is full of micro hairs and texture. We're so excited to be one of only two stores in all of the US even offering this denim! It's a rare one, that's for sure - we were only allowed to buy 10 pairs.
