Greetings,

What a day. First off shout out to our very own Jeci Chao, Happy Birthday! May Day’s ain’t got nothing on May 2nd. On that note Happy Golden Week National Holidays to all of our friends in Japan! We take it as if every day’s a celebration. Life’s good, especially when the sun’s shining and the weather is clear.

I promised some fit pics of the Copper Label project and since I’m a man of my word, here you go. I have to say, I love these jeans. They’ve adjusted perfectly in these 16 weeks of wear and tear. I have to say that the wash at 3 month benchmark did the jeans good. Well enough talk, and more pictures.

As I have mentioned in the past, slim fitting jeans just don’t fit me and my tall frame. The scarecrow on steroids reference still applies. But I find the Straight Leg Copper Label jeans slightly slimmer than the Straight Leg Vintage Label Momotaro Jeans. The difference is not that huge, but enough to notice it. Nevertheless, this is a fit that I love. Roomy, but not too baggy. Classic straight leg jeans.

There’s some major stacking going on at the back of the knees.

I want to save the detailed pics for the next post, but the jeans are evolving fast. Below just few nice details. There’s some twill breaking on both of the inseams near the cuffs. But the jeans are still as solid as ever.

This picture below shows the state of the color on the front (thighs) of the jeans. Loving the faded blue. Pictures don’t do justice to the color.

We pretty much spent the day at the city walking around and embracing the fine, warm weather. Just look at the blue skies. Damn.

The winter is but a distant memory and we’re getting ready to the summer. Expect to see plenty of more evolution of Copper Label Denim in the following weeks.

Enjoy the Golden Week no matter where you are and stay safe. Big up, I’m out!
