The Year Of… the Tiger (Preview)
by Taavi Kuisma on Jan.14, 2010, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
The decade has changed and we’re living in the year 2010, but in February we’ll be stepping into another year, The Year Of… the Tiger. Needless to say I will be posting a Chinese New Year special next month, but before that I thought of dropping a little something for your viewing pleasure. A preview as one might call it.
First Kicks Edition of 2010
by Taavi Kuisma on Jan.12, 2010, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
2010 has started well and we’re on our way to the Year Of The Tiger. They’re saying that Tiger’s Year should be a prosperous one. 2009 was full of hard work and steady progress and hopefully everything this year will run like a charm. Speaking of running, you need good shoes to run. That said I’m gonna get started with the first kicks edition of 2010. I guess we will see some tie ins between the “Stuff to Wear” and Kicks editions in the future but hey when it comes to clothing and accessories everything’s related and connected. This year’s first kicks edition could also be called the Purple Edition as I’m just sharing some ideas on this seasonal color.

Yeah, bub. You heard me. Snikt. Just add them claws and there’s nothing that’d go better with your denim.

Vintage 0901 – What a year
by Taavi Kuisma on Jan.10, 2010, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
The end of the week went by swiftly and my blog updates are pretty much been on draft level for the past few days. However this is bound to change now as I feel I must write a nice little summary on my Vintage 0901 project. As mentioned the project came into an end as you guys voted for the change. The newest project is Copper Label G003-MB and that project is well under way. But still I will share another set of pictures of these wonderful Vintage Label jeans before putting the focus on the new project.
Momotaro Jeans – Copper Label G003-MB – The Project – Week I
by Taavi Kuisma on Jan.06, 2010, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
It’s been long time coming and my new denim Project has officially begun. For the starters I thought of just sharing some detailed pics of the jeans in their current fresh form. I have worn the jeans for few days already and I have to tell you, they’re great. I mean the Vitnage Label Momotaro Jeans are just rugged heavy duty Vintage jeans, but the Copper Label is something else. They’re also the heavy oz selvedge denim Momotaro is known for, but they’re softer than Vintage Label. The softness is partially due to the cotton blend used in the jeans. The fabric is mixture of organic cotton used in other Momotaro jeans, but also features fine cotton used in dress shirts. This gives the denim a very soft feel. The inside (back) of the jeans has a natural indigo dyed fabric, which I suppose adds to the softness, and looks nice.
Stuff to wear with your denim
by Tuomas Jaalinoja on Jan.05, 2010, under Headlines
Hello boys and girls, how’s it going?
As promised, the first “stuff to wear…” post is here. The other topics will surface later on, but let’s concentrate on this particular item for now.
Got to admit, Saxon had it right: denim and leather really are together. First of all, and I can not express this strongly enough. I love leather jackets. Nay, I love (just imagine a lot of emphasis on that ok?) leather jackets. Even Indiana Jones wore one. So they can not be anything but cool. And they do go well with denim. Let’s leave the colour coding to you guys as I have no doubt that you would be anything less than perfectly proficient with it.
New Year, New Products
by Taavi Kuisma on Jan.04, 2010, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
The year sure started with a bang. New monster buildings in Dubai, snowstorms in Asia and the usual stuff. But we’re keeping our cool in heat or cold. In celebration of new year we’re bringing you fresh new gear from The Year Of… and Momotaro Jeans. First of The Year Of Dog – Lil’ Brooklyn design that was introduced some time back and also featured in the poll for my next denim project (which will be properly introduced this week).

Hi Y’all,
Second day of the year and the weather is getting even colder. Yesterday I finished my Vintage 0901 -project with another wash and today I am starting my new Copper GL003-MB journey. Am I excited? Yes, who wouldn’t love a pair of new jeans. The project will start off in a very, very interesting weather as the temperature is about -20 degrees Celsius as I am writing this and should drop down to -30 tonight. Thus I will start my report tomorrow, after I put these jeans through their first elemental test.
Happy New Year 2010!

Hi Y’all,
Just wanted to thank everyone for the last year. It was a great year and a great start to an amazing journey as I might have mentioned few times already, heh. On my behalf I’d like to wish all of you a Happy New Year! Hope you will have a healthy, happy and prosperous year 2010.
