The jeans have gone through a plenty in the past few weeks. The hottest summer in Finland for ages (probably in the past century), moving, BBQs, work plus all sorts of random stuff and no washes. In a couple of weeks the jeans will get their much needed wash before more trips that are sure to leave their marks on the surface of the denim.

What’s good everyone?

Today was spent lounging, eating good food and enjoying the sun with few gin tonics to cool things down. Now back on my blog. I did not post anything yesterday due to the very hectic day moving from one apartment to another. The kitchen/bathroom renovation drew us out of casa de Stark and such a move usually involves plenty of work. I was basically carrying stuff the whole day.

Greetings!

Happy Midsummer! I’m still on holiday mode and I can’t even remember when was the last time I spent few days without plugging in my notebook. I have kept checking my emails and such but since I’m still on holiday this 6 month mark of my Copper Label project will be production of my trusted iPhone.

Good evening to you and yours!

Today has been one for the books. I mean casa de Chao-Kuisma is looking like a refugee camp (not that I have ever seen one outside the TV) and it will look like this until we move to our temporary apartment to escape the incoming bathroom/piping renovation. Basically they’re going to rip the pipes off the bathroom and unfortunately our kitchen and replace them to new ones. This however means that we are outta here, since we’re not too keen on staying here without electricity and water for the next three months. It’s all good, it’s just three months right?

What’s good?

Sundays are usually pretty damn good. I mean I’ve been lounging the whole day. My biggest achievements of the day have been couple of emails and cooking pancakes for my wife (and myself of course). So how to start the Momotaro Jeans Copper Label update of the day? I think it’s best to approach this chronologically with all starting on Friday 4th of June.

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.

Hi Y’all,

Super Sunday behind us and I’ve had a rather nice weekend. For those wondering where have we been as there has been only few posts lately, yours truly has been multitasking for the past few weeks on another level. In addition to this, I decided just to take an evening or two off, haha.

Hi Y’all,

When I said let it snow, let it snow, let it snow I did not expect Helsinki to experience snowfall of such proportions. I am not sure if Helsinki has seen such a winter in a decade or something (again I could be wrong considering I have not been around for almost half of the time) but still the winter’s great. I am sure many car owners might disagree with this statement as we see below. Oh, and that isn’t my car.

Hi Y’all,

It’s been long time coming and my new denim Project has officially begun. For the starters I thought of just sharing some detailed pics of the jeans in their current fresh form. I have worn the jeans for few days already and I have to tell you, they’re great. I mean the Vitnage Label Momotaro Jeans are just rugged heavy duty Vintage jeans, but the Copper Label is something else. They’re also the heavy oz selvedge denim Momotaro is known for, but they’re softer than Vintage Label. The softness is partially due to the cotton blend used in the jeans. The fabric is mixture of organic cotton used in other Momotaro jeans, but also features fine cotton used in dress shirts. This gives the denim a very soft feel. The inside (back) of the jeans has a natural indigo dyed fabric, which I suppose adds to the softness, and looks nice.
