Good afternoon world!

It’s looking like we might actually get some rain today. It’s been warm and sunny the whole week and the pessimists are saying that the summer as we know it is over (in Finland that is). Well since it’s not even June yet, I’m not jumping on that bandwagon but hey, who knows. No matter what, it’s all good.

We had a post free day yesterday with Remy somewhere having a bachelor party, not his own though (hangover the movie anyone?) and yours truly was keeping busy as well. Nevertheless this gives a good opportunity to follow up on Remy’s GTB project update. Although I’m saving my project update for later I’m sure you’re gonna love this (probably more than my regular updates). The below jeans were part of a Momotaro Jeans denim contest so you thought your jeans are faded, take a look at these.

G003-M Momotaro Jeans, an older model but still as fresh as any other Momotaro Jeans design out there. The below jeans were worn for three years and washed with denim detergent.

Next up a nice little benchmark to my Copper Label project. Yes, the below jeans are G003-MB, although they look like some other design readily distressed. I’ve seen some ish but these… speechless.

The jeans were worn for two years and hand washed with Momotaro Jeans denim wash (SZ-001). The owner wore the jeans daily driving bicycle which explains the repaired crotch and seat pieces. You can see different fabric used for the repairs. Take a look at the pics, all I can say is, I like.

Again, you can see that even though you would assume the jeans fade similar to every other pair out there, it’s obvious that every pair is different from one another. I think I’m on my way with the current denim project so let’s see how they’ll end up in one year’s time or perhaps two.

That’s all for today, but mark my words more will follow! I’m gonna log out now and perhaps watch a movie with the wifey. Take it easy everyone and enjoy the summer!
