Compared to heavier Momotaro denim, the 13oz fabric offers a lighter, more breathable option for everyday wear in milder climates. Despite its lighter weight, this denim remains sturdy, providing comfort against the skin, and is exclusively crafted from long-staple Zimbabwean cotton, woven on traditional shuttle looms for an authentic feel.
Momotaro's natural tapered cut features a medium-high rise, comfortable waist, roomy thighs, and a distinct taper to a narrower leg opening, ensuring a versatile pairing with both boots and sneakers. These jeans boast exceptional details, including custom-engraved iron buttons, a branded indigo leather patch, and Momotaro's signature pink selvedge and inseam, paying tribute to the legendary Momotaro folktale.
These jeans have a standard sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. The fabric is sanforized, so there will be no shrinkage. Some people might even go for a smaller size than usual, but only those with very thin legs. The waist will experience the typical stretching seen in sanforized denim. Expect approximately 0.5 to 1 inch of stretching
