Description

The Momotaro 0405-13 13 oz. Zimbabwe Cotton in the High Tapered is a mid-high rise with a roomy seat and thigh that dramatically tapers through the leg to a very narrow hem to yield a modern tapered cut for a wide variety of body types. The new 13 oz. Selvedge Denim is a lighter-weight version of the Vintage Indigo recipe of hand-cultivated, long-staple 100% Organic Zimbabwe Cotton, rope-dyed indigo, and vintage shuttle looming at moderate tensions. The result is proprietary denim for warm climates and an initial comfort while maintaining a structured form with a soft hand, along with a deep color saturation that will fade with a layered character through years of heavy wear. With an indigo-dyed warp and natural weft over natural core yarns, this denim will develop deep blue to vintage white fading patterns with repeated wears and washes. This jean comes with the Momotaro standard peach selvedge line to represent the folkloric story that symbolizes Japan's rejuvenation of selvedge denim production in their home of Kojima, Okayama, and the brand's reputation of crafting some of the best jeans in the world by always looking to progress within traditional techniques. Finished with premium components and production standards, these jeans boast an indigo-dyed embossed leather patch, heavy-duty canvas pocket bags with a woven jacquard logo pattern, a zinc steel button fly, embossed copper riveting, hidden back rivets, bartack reinforcements throughout, and a chainstitched waist, seat, and hem. Representing one of the most esteemed Japanese jeans, this hardwearing Momotaro combines celebrated propriety selvedge denim, precise craftsmanship, and a refined modern cut to yield a mainstay in any wardrobe that is special when new and only gets better as it becomes one's own.
