One week went by on wings. Partially due to the Easter holidays, it’s an obvious fact that holidays go by real fast. Well nothing wrong with routine either. It’s good to be back in business. I’ve had a good chance to start wearing in the chosen pair of Momotaro Vintage Label 0901′s.

One week done and the jeans are still pretty much in a pristine condition. For an untrained eye all of the Japanese denim seems the same, but they’re not. The Vintage label has a nice deep dye. This type of denim is quite often referred to as black denim, due to its extremely dark color. Black as it might be, the jeans have dyed some of my shoelaces blue, heh.

A word of caution to everyone new to the qualities of the raw or even one wash indigo denim. Even though the organic dye does give a nice color it does not prevent indigo bleed. So if you end up having a stroll in the rain be careful with your white shoes, shirts and inner wear, not to mention your white sofas.

The jeans will probably take a good while before settling due to the thick fabric used. Washing usually softens the jeans, but hey let’s see if I can make it six months without throwing the jeans into the good old washing machine. Maybe after 6 months the jeans will have the same look as my The Year Of.. Dog jeans.
My significant other started wearing in a pair of Momotaro Lady’s line about a month ago but I doubt that she’s gonna put her pair through the same acid test as your’s truly.

Just have to say I am glad that spring and summer for that matter are just behind the corner. Was it winter and my jeans would get that above mentioned wear and tear a lot faster with all that snow and messy streets. So let’s see what the summer has in store for us and for our JEANS.

Be easy everyone and get back at you real soon…
