Momotaro is tempting boujee denim heads once again with more silk selvedge. Following their silky jean release from last year, the Japanese label has introduced a Type II Jacket in form of the MMGJ0202 15oz #002 “Silk”.
This special 15 oz. selvedge denim from Momotato is crafted from 58% indigo rope-dyed Zimbabwean cotton and 42% silk, with silk comprising the weft yarns. That’s a double down on luxury, with Zimbabwean cotton known for its long-staple composition that creates highly textured yarns, and silk being the egregiously soft and breathable fiber we associate with opulence and grandeur.
The silhouette spruces up the cut of the historic Levi’s jacket for the modern day. Expect a subtly narrower fit and nearly hidden hand-warmer pockets along the side seam, both of which help make what otherwise could be considered hangable art into a wearable garment.
Featuring an unparalleled sheen thanks to the unique fabric construction, it should come as no surprise that this will feel unlike any other denim you have ever worn. It also means it has the potential to go where few other outerwear pieces dare to go: summertime.
Made in limited numbers, each piece is crafted in Kojima, Japan, and comes finished with an indigo-dyed leather patch in the neckline and custom Momotaro hardware.
Available for $784 from Redcast Heritage.
