Hi Y’all,

What’s good? What’s really good? Well today has been a busy one. Nothing new nor special there but you ned to start your post with something. I was actually rather tempted to post more information on the Momotaro Jeans – Europe Collection already today, but I will keep that for tomorrow. Really looking forward to releasing the material and getting comments from you guys. But we’ll get back to that tomorrow.

Today it’s all about my Momotaro Jeans – Copper Label project. The project has progressed all the way to week nine. Time flies doesn’t it. Well this week I thought of doing something I have done in the past, taking pics of the jeans with the iPhone in natural day light. This plan came true due to the fact that we actually had some natural light today. It’s still freezing cold but at least we have some sun. The thing about the camera phone pics is that it somewhat shows the jeans in different light. Probably not as accurate, definitely not as good as a semi-pro SLR but different.

So let the pictures speak on my behalf.

The creasing (fading) below the seat is becoming more and more obvious with one line on the right side and two on the left. The left back pocket where I keep my wallet is starting to show more signs of wear and an interesting “hidden rivet” dot in the middle of the pocket. Well this is not actually a hidden rivet but rather rivet from my wallet that has made its mark. The respective hidden rivets have however made their presence known on the corners of the back pocket.

The next picture looks funny and it’s pretty self evident. The stacking is something else with these jeans. I would have imagined that the creasing behind the knees would have been less in comparison to my previous project because of the fabric is lighter and softer (not sure where I got that idea from) but when it comes to fading of Momotaro Jeans there very little to no difference between the fading of raw and sanforized denim. That is in the sense that both fade. Wear the jeans and they will fade.

The creasing (whiskers) is not fully balanced but that’s just fine. The pants have a life of their own. Not that they’re so filthy they meet me in the morning when I wake up, no not at all. But they evolve along with the seasons. And as the days go by I see more and more happening on the surface of the denim.

Tomorrow I will continue where I left off yesterday on my Europe Label Sneak Preview. So be sure to tune in to hear more on what the label and its products are all about.

Have a great evening. I’m out, peace…
