Hi Y’all,

First off, today was the first day in almost two years that I called in sick. I stayed at home and took it easy the whole day. I won’t skip my blog post though. The day went by watching Hong Kong TVB drama series and resting. And it paid off. I feel a lot better already. Naturally there were some work related things I handled via my mobile office but mostly just resting.

Yesterday’s post was simply awesome but now we’re back to the thing we know best. Denim projects. We’ve been posting denim project updates for almost a year already and just this week we threw another set of jeans into our very own denim debate, Remy’s Going to Battle (ex Going to War) Label Momotaro Jeans. Three months in the jeans look great, definitely not torn but worn yet fresh.

Today we take this thing to yet another level introducing another two sets of Momotaro Jeans projects. The jeans belong to our friend Tim from Germany. Shout out to Tim. It’s very interesting discussing denim with folks that share similar interests. It’s a small world and Tim’s Momotaro denim projects have been exactly the same as mine and even in the same order. Both of the jeans have been worn consequently for three months on daily basis.

First off some pics of the Vintage Label 0901 Jeans.

There are definitely similarities with my own 0901 project but the lifestyles of the wearer are apparent with this project as well. For instance the wallet fade on the right back pocket, and left front pocket as well as the whiskers on the front of the jeans.

The jeans still have their dark hue and like new.

On to the next set of pics. These are from the Copper Label G003-MB jeans also worn for three months. One thing that differentiates these Copper Label jeans from mine is the fact that these don’t just have wear but a little bit of tear as well. The stitching on the corner of the back pocket had come loose as you can see.

This is a first one for me although I have seen some very worn and torn Momotaro Jeans with some torn stitching usually on the bottom of the back pocket.

The jeans have been worn for about same time as my current project, but they look totally different. I mean just have a look.

The Copper Label jeans look fresh in every sense of the word. Just like with the Vintage Label jeans there is some creasing on the front as well as on the back of the knees. But as you can see the jeans look totally different.

That’s the beauty of premium denim. When the jeans are truly made by hand without compromise, every pair is different. The natural indigo dye, the tailor made cutting and sewing not to mention rivets and buttoning. Although the jeans might look the same there are differences as the products are indeed man made. The individual nature of the jeans truly comes through with the wear. I’m sure that the extreme winter this year has made a mark on my jeans and one really needs to go through those two meter snow walls to get the same look. Still, no matter where these jeans are worn and for how long they all have one thing in common, the high quality and craftmanship. Well made jeans are like a work of art. If you doubt my word, all you have to do is get a pair and you will see it for yourself.

One more pic for the road. This one with both the Vintage and Copper Label Momotaro Jeans side by side.

That’s all for the day, but I have much more in store for you. Just a little hint before tomorrow’s update. Yuki Hoashi. Oh almost forgot. If you have not checked the new trailer for the Iron Man 2, now’s your chance. Another thing to add to the awesome list.
