Great review as usual! The Momotaro 0306 GTB tight tapered 12oz was my first Japanese denim. Very snug when I bought them and they didn’t stretch much in the waist, but I lost few kilos and now they fit like a glove. Exquisite denim and details. Love the dark blue dye, big pockets and contrast stitching. And the leather patch with peach boy is very cool! Currently Momotaro are my top brand together with Samurai which is the master of details! 🤩
Thank you for this video. I think we can see the white dots, because it is a slub woven denim. You can see extra slow woven denim that hasn’t got those dots, in my opinion. I own this Momotaro and I really love it ❤
Have two pairs, for some reason I decided to go a size down for my second pair which probably was a mistake, those are 18oz and very stiff still (first pait around 15oz). Hope I have the patience to wear them down and make them softer, did wash whem which probably was my second mistake. Think they did skrink a little, as they was tight to start with it didn't really help. Only reason I did wash them was that I hoped whey would get a bit softer which they did not. Well well lessons to learn on the denim journey,
It happened to me with my first pair of Iron Heart; in the end, I sold it and bought the right size. It is true we learn from mistakes and some are expensive ones 👍👍👍👍
Nice! I always enjoy your reviews. They're very well researched, detailed, and informative. I'm on the hunt for a pair of Japanese black selvedge, and Momotaro is on the list. I'm sorry if I missed it, but what was the fit (or model number) of the second pair, with the Zimbabwe cotton and the battle stripes? Thanks!
hey man, great videos. I recently got myself some Momotaro 0306-V in a 34 Waist. I always wear 34's and never had an issue with other brands. I can't do the jeans up lol. Any views on Momotaro sizing. I currently have a 34 in Lee 101Z's. They are bit more relaxed than I usually wear so wanted to get a tighter / more tapered fit in the legs. Is there a cut and waist size you normally go for in Momotaro's? Really love the quality of the jeans, but the sizing just seems to be extremely small .... any thoughts you can give ?
Hi!! Thank you!!! The best way to choose the right size is instead of only going for the size, is to look at the measurements, most Japanese Brands post the measurements, so grab your best-fitting jeans (not the stretching ones) and pick the size that matches those measurements. Keep in mind that the jeans need to be sanforised or one-wash, unless you have experience with shrink-to-fit jeans (as Levi’s calls them, everybody else calls them Raw Denim ).
@@UrbanLadUK Thanks for the reply. I've got in touch with Momotaro to look into it. The jeans measure roughly 86cm, they should be 91cm. Thanks for the quality videos, and advice though. Appreciate it 🙏
@@UrbanLadUK Momotaro are saying that their jeans have an allowance of 2-3cm, but this seems crazy to me. The jeans should be 91cm for a 34. If they measured 88, that would be a size 33, as that is supposed to be 88.5cm. I measure the jeans at 87, and have had them measured by a dry cleaners. They agree with me. So it will be interesting to see what Momotaro say. They have agreed to exchange them as long as when they measure them they are not inside the 2-3cm variance. I love the jeans, but the customer experience hasn't been the best, and their arrogance on sizing hasn't been fantastic either. Hopefully no games, and they just exchange them one they receive them back.
@@UrbanLadUKI live in Japan and I just bought a pair. They have opened up the brand to world. I guess that is kind of a rebrand. They made a new logo but they still got the stripped.
@@UrbanLadUKit seems like everything is still done the same way as far as production goes.. or at least as far as i could research. i’m going to kojima next spring so i’ll do some on the ground research 😂
@@UrbanLadUK I knew it xD a chilean lad recognizes that accent easily. Hope you watched the last carl murawski did about gaucho boots. Some nice content do you have here. Es un placer !
I could watch Diego review denim all day. I find it very relaxing. Keep up the good work, my friend.
Thank you!!!!!!👍👍👍

Are good brands both with different approaches to the selvedge denim 👍👍👍👍👍
Really enjoy how in depth you go in all your reviews! Great video!

Thank you for watching!!! good point
Great fit! I hope you could review latest black Oni Denim!
I´ll try !!
My first foray into Japanese selvedge denim was with Momotaro's. Great denims.
They are!!!
Bought a pair around 10 years ago. Still going strong - aside from the expected crotch blowout and pocket wear
Great review.I really enjoy and appreciate your work. Japan blue use cote'd ivory cotton also 👍
Thank you for sharing and for watching!!!
My first pair of raw selvedge jeans I got were the GTB Momotaro I got in Kyoto. They had a shop in a mall. This was 15 years ago maybe 😂
Wow!!!!

Your channel is the best! Thank you!

I like weird guy fit do you know what Momotaro fit would be closest to naked and famous fit?
Momotaro 0605 are the equivalent of Weird Guy

The model is 306. Usually, you can find this model in 15.7oz of Zimbabwe cotton, which belongs to the tight fit
@@UrbanLadUK Thank you very much! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you!!
What jacket are you wearing at the beginning of the video?
It is Matchless

I am sorry to hear about your experience; I hope they sort it out!!
Unfortunately they just did a rebranding. They have changed the logo and who knows what else. I was going to buy a pair but... no more peach boy.
Oops!! I'll keep a close eye on Momotaro; this kind of change usually are not good 😏
