Today I thought of finishing the day by sharing details on another special denim design from our beloved Momotaro Jeans from Kojima, Okayama. You might have seen the below picture at Momotaro Jeans Facebook Page. The picture is from an exclusive denim design only available at Momotaro Jeans Denim House in Japan. I present to you, Momotaro Jeans Silver Label.

A limited number of these jeans have been produced as the design features the same exclusive details as the coveted Gold Label Momotaro Jeans.

The denim is made using 100% organic cotton for natural, soft wearing experience. The yarn of the Silver Label Momotaro Jeans is dyed using natural indigo grown in Okayama, Japan. As with all of Momotaro Jeans denim, the hand dyed yarn is then woven into denim fabric using vintage shuttle looms. Just like with Gold Label, the jeans have hand dyed natural indigo finishing, but the denim is woven with machine loom instead of the hand loom. Giving the denim similar finishing as with G003-A. What separates the Silver Label from Gold Label is also the zipper fly instead of buttons. According to Momotaro Jeans, the denim is targeted to those 40 years and above whom in Japan prefer zipper fly instead of buttons.

The button is made of silver just like the title indicates. The other hardware is copper. Similar to brands like Copper Label Momotaro Jeans. You can see other features similar to Copper Label such as the signature stitching on the right back pocket as well as the lining of the jeans. The hue of the Japan Blue dye is naturally different as the jeans are dyed using natural indigo that gives a traditional beautiful blue to the jeans.

The item number for the Silver Label jeans is “S003-AZ”. The cut of the jeans is Classic Straight cut similar to G003-MB . The Label currently features only one cut.

The jeans look great and I’m especially fond of the leather patch with silver details. The natural indigo dye and vintage finishing doesn’t hurt either. The jeans are priced similar to the lower costing Gold Label jeans, but as mentioned only available at Momotaro Jeans in Japan and in very limited numbers. We shall see if this product or a adaptation of this particular model becomes available outside Japan and Momotaro Jeans’ Denim House. I like the simple, but refined look of the jeans and having been in touch with the Gold Label jeans, have no doubt the quality will be outstanding as well. I really hope to get a chance to put a natural indigo dyed pair of jeans through wear and tear test to see how the denim adapts to the lifestyle and since the hand dyed yarn does not fade quite the same as pure indigo dye, the end results should be splendid.
