Thanks

so what about the famous first soak? I got a pair of new 634s. Is this soak something that I have to do? Whats the difference of a cold vs. a hot soak?

Whats the point of waiting 6 months to wash the jeans? whiskers and combs more pronounced?

I know this is going to sound totally stupid, I am new to raw denim. What happens if I wash the jeans after a month in instead of 6-8 months? I retain the dark blue color and then they fade like a regular dark blue Levis for example? I guess I loose the posibility of contrast fading etc.  Am I right? Am I missing something?

On the other hand , If I wash after 8 months, whats the general rule to clean somehow, remove bad odor etc.?

Best regards and happy new year

Thanks , That´s what I needed to know. It´s sounds great

I would like to know if is an option to consider in that price range  or ts a  bad quality/waste of money jean.  A good rival to 3sixteen, APC etc.

but ,  still a good quality jean? it cost 100 dollars less than momotaro

is that the thread called "Japan Blue Momotaro" with 81 pages?

thanks Giles, do you use the same machine than the IH factory? I mean, is the hemming going to look like factory made? same stitching etc. The self edge stich is a bit different.

Best regards

Hello, These jeans looks very nice to me, any experience with them? I am specially thinking about construction and quality. They sound great for the price, but are they going to start to show seam rips etc. after a couple of months?

best regards

Any experience with Japan Blue by momotaro? good quality construction? the names are the same than Momos, 0201, 0701 etc. are they the same fit?

Cheers

Hello, I am ordering a 634 s from selfedge, I got some store credit from a returned item. My doubt is , should I get them hemmed with SE or send them to Giles. What would be the more similar to he original hem? I have seen phtos of SE hemming and it looks great, but is a bit different from the original. Is Giles using the same threads, machine etc. from the factory?

thanks a lot!
