A flash from the past. “Back in the day” that is few years ago, Momotaro Jeans’ Ladies’ Line was called Peony Label. The label featured ladies’ jeans that use similar fabric as the current Ladies’ Line but distinctive features such as different waist patch and yellow and pink Copper Label stitching on the right back pocket.

I can’t believe it’s been three weeks already. Time flies while you’re having fun, and from what I have seen everyone seems to be having fun with their Denim Projects. So much fun that Ika actually share some curry with her jeans. Take notes, curry isn’t the easiest thing to clean from the surface of denim. But still, the jeans look as good as ever, little curry just adds character to the jeans right? Click the picture for the full story.

It has been very eventful 14 months. Business aside, we’ve witnessed birth of new generations and bid farewell to older generations. By no means has it been an easy year. Challenges ranging from business to parental duties and renovations, but still I say the year of the golden tiger treated us well. The business picked up and pretty much doubled from the first year. We’ve received plenty of love from both individual and business customers not to mention our partners and associates. It has been one interesting chapter in this crazy journey and through it all I have worn the same pants.

One of the biggest Momotaro Jeans releases last year was undoubtedly the Grand Blue ER007-2B Momotaro Jeans. The Grand Blue 15 oz denim that has a seriously deep (as deep as the abyss) blue color. The blue is achieved by using a warp yarn that uses natural indigo yarn as well as black weft yarn. The deep blue color is ageless and the jeans seem like a pair of heavy oz khakis. But these are still denim, black and blue denim titled Grand Blue. The Grand Blue Momotaro Jeans come in raw form and feature Momotaro’s signature stitching on the back pocket. The heavy oz selvedge denim is woven with vintage denim mills that ensures the ultimate Vintage denim experience.

For the past few months we’ve posted development pictures of a particular pair of 0201 Vintage Label Momotaro Jeans. The jeans that have met mud, dirt, crotch rip and a tailor. Not to mention two soaks. The jeans seem to be getting better by the day and the Pasko who owns the jeans does not cut the jeans any slack. But how to these jeans fit? Well, we received few pics of the jeans’ fit and below recent pics of the jeans at their current state.

You should always quit while you’re winning. This applies not only to gambling but also life in general. This time, this also applies to my beloved Copper Label Momotaro Jeans that have accompanies me for over a year already. At 56 weeks (approx 1 year and 2 months) the jeans have traveled across the world, kept me warm during the winter and made sure I look the part whether I have been in meetings or spending a night out with some friends. The jeans have seen numerous cities in Finland as well as Copenhagen, Munich, Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur, Genting and now they are retiring at my wife’s home in Tanjung Malim, Malaysia. I call the post “On top of the world” and although the highlands of Malaysia are not even close to the highest point on earth, I thought the title would be fitting.
