Kojima, located in Okayama Prefecture, is renowned worldwide as a premier denim production hub. It is here that MOMOTARO JEANS was established, celebrated for its distinctive deep indigo hue and unique texture known as "Tokuno Blue", achieved through a meticulous dyeing process.
These exceptional jeans embody the dedication and craftsmanship of the artisans who laid the groundwork for Japanese denim, showcasing an unwavering commitment to detail in dyeing, weaving, sewing, and material selection. Each pair, dyed in Tokuno Blue, captures the essence of your daily life, serving as a testament to your experiences.
The rigid (unwashed) fabric emphasises the rich indigo colour and unique texture of "Tokuno Blue". To enhance the indigo tones of the warp threads, the denim structure has been refined, and a finer thread has been chosen for the weft. Despite the dark colouration, the core's whiteness is preserved, allowing for a striking contrast between light and dark.
Furthermore, processing techniques have been implemented to minimise shrinkage post-wash (within 1% both vertically and horizontally), effectively addressing the common drawbacks of rigid (unwashed) jeans.
#200 is a slim tapered fit model.The thighs are slightly relaxed, but the tapered fit from the knees onwards creates a tight silhouette that is comfortable to wear.The rise is slightly shallow. These jeans are timeless and universal, made possible by adopting a pattern that pursues a beautiful silhouette and comfortable fit.
This model includes a button fly, with buttons and rivets adorned with a peach motif, a signature of Momotaro Jeans. The leather patch has also been updated to a fresh design. In the pursuit of pushing the boundaries of traditional jeans, Momotaro have incorporated a "mar belt", an uncommon feature for denim. When tucked in, you can wear it worry-free regarding colour fading, making it easy to pair with lighter tops. The enhanced fit around the waist ensures comfort and stability.
The distinctive elements that reflect the brand's identity include Momotaro Jeans original copper punched rivets, hidden rivets on the back of the hip pockets, and the lining, all adding to the charm of this exceptional pair of jeans.
