0306-82SP - 16oz - Texture Selvedge Custom Black Battle Stripes - Tight Taper
Momotaro - 16oz - Texture Selvedge Custom Black Battle Stripes - Tight Taper
These absolutely crushed for us when we introduced them. It's been too long, but we finally got our hands on a restock. For this run, we went with black battle stripes to make the denim a little more subtle. The fades on the white can be incredible, but damn is it hard to swallow that stark contrast on first approach. The black will sluff off more naturally with the denim, and from what we now know will still stand out nicely against a heavily faded pair. This is paint crocking that makes perfect sense. This 16oz pair fades unlike anything we've ever seen. The level of texture is through the roof. Although they're not super nubby or slubby, they have this incredible texture that you can feel up front and reveals itself with wear. They're absolutely stunning.
Momotaro always includes signature details, and this pair is no different.

Fit Notes: Ryan is wearing a size 31 in this fit. The 0306-12 from Momotaro is toyt like a toyger. This is the skinniest fit you can get from Momo. Check your sizes, and most likely size up. These are for the guys with no butts and small legs. We found that this fit is our guy's favorite when looking for that classic slim selvedge, so we picked up the 16oz texture. It's an intense break-in, but well worth it. With proper sweat equity, this texture selvedge is going to be your favorite pair of denim. Shop owner Tommy wears a size 32 in these. He's 5'10" 165lbs with a 32-33" waist.

The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
