Momotaro delivers another gorgeous pair of denim with the 0605-40 Natural Tapered 14.7oz Legacy Blue. Momotaro is worth the hype, they offer beautifully constructed jeans that age like a dream, and last a long time if properly cared for.
Don’t believe the hype? Look at the details on these. For starters, they’re actually roomy up top with just the right amount of taper through the leg to prevent an excess of fabric at the hem. Secondly, this mid-weight 14.7oz Japanese Legacy Blue denim is woven from 100% Zimbabwe cotton and formulated to fade bright blue with all the right amount of vintage-inspired texture in areas of wear. If you’re looking to leave a legacy in our Fade Friday column, this could be a good place to start.
Still not sold? They’re a classic 5-pocket style with contrast stitching throughout, rivet reinforcements, metal button fly, chain stitched hem and waistband, indigo-dyed canvas yoke liner (where else can you find that?), bar tack reinforcements, Momotaro leather patch, and a signature peach toned selvedge ID that pays homage to the folklore behind the brand’s name.
Available for $315 from Division Road.
