Momotaro

[RocknRoll]

It's about time this thread got some love.

These babies are a couple of years old, worn intermittently, washed 3 times (maybe 4?). Still one of my favourites.

I found this site Okayama Denim that is selling a good range of Momotaro and Japan Blue stuff direct from Japan. Good descriptions and sizing info, worth checking out!

i just received my 0201s. unfortunately the measurements shown by and-japan.com differ from the actual measurements.
I'm very tall (6'7" / 201cm) - basically it's all about the inseams! I need every cm!

0201 W36
pre-soak measurements and-japan: 39,5" / 100cm
pre-soak taken by me last evening: 38,5" / 97,8 cm
post-soak measuremants taken this morning: 36,2" / 92cm

i didn't take the pre-soak measurements in waist… i guess there's shrinkage about 1,5" after a soak.
I'm a tagged 36" (~215 lbs/ 98kg). It was definitately the right decision to purchase the jeans in 36!

THe fit is great! I comparison to other pics i've seen in this thread  the fit of my 0201s is more on the "Slim-Fit" side than expected.  I was  kind of shocked when i took the post-soak measurements. basically 36" inseam means "no cuff" but in this case I think i can go for an at least 1" cuff if i want to!

Update of my 0400SP momo that i bought from Jay at BlueOwl.
almost a year now,got them around december last year. been wearing them a lot,starting april this year I started to rotate them with the IHxMBB.
This has been washed i think 3 times now. This latest pics is the pics before i wash the for the third time.

I like how the leg part is getting hairy.maybe cause there's less contact there unlike my thighs.

my new olive chambray momotaro shirt
Any one care to chime in on the fit.  Feels a little snug.

I like the fit, that's how I'd want it to fit me.  But, work shirts can be worn loose, so you could probably get away with an up-size too.  Nice shirt.

I don't like snug fits in workshirts, so I'd go up a size, if possible.  That way, I'd have room to move and wouldn't worry about shrinking it when I wash it.  Momotaro shirts are really nice, but they are definitely not sized for the Western market.

That's how I'd want mine to fit as well…

Chest might be a tad too tight on you based on the pics

Great fit, and If you can tie your boots without suffocation then it's spot on!

brilliant top right there giorgio!…

[georgeel]

Thanks!
But I sized down 1 with this. I just ordered a 36 yesterday.

Here's some pics of my recent purchase.

Tag size 33 Momotaro 0901's. Pictures are post hot soak. They need to be hemmed. Still deciding if I like the regular straight look on the lower leg section. Your opinions are welcomed. I may want to go with something that has a slight taper.

I'm 182 pounds. 5 foot 10.

Cheers,

I think that cut looks perfect on you. Also, if you cuff then so there's no break they'll look slimmer in the lower leg.
