Time flies, Project Wear and Tear kicked off over a year ago and based on the comments and feedback, it has been a fun project that has produced some really, really impressive results. That alone is enough to make this project a success. The major following throughout the project is just an icing on the cake. The project has progressed to the last stretch and we’re letting you, our audience decide the winner. Although I feel everyone participating in the project is a winner, we’re still sticking to the original plan and crowning the winner in one month’s time. Thus steer towards the Project Wear and Tear site and vote for your favorite from the top three. You can vote using the poll on the top right corner of the site. Right below search and above our support logos.

Momotaro Jeans’ Mini Denim is slow and steady becoming an internet phenomenon. It’s great to see so many sources writing about these tiny jeans. The jeans are a great example of Momotaro Jeans’ workmanship. Standing 15 cm tall, the jeans are not just tiny but packed with details you would expect from a pair of Momotaro Jeans. Made by hand, without compromise. I have yet to see the Mini Denim in person but this if something is a collector’s item. I have the Daruma sitting next to Mini Denim, and that gives a good idea of how small the jeans really are. If my memory serves me right, the guys have also produced a “giant” pair of jeans or was it a jacket? I have to check back my archives. Nevertheless, well done Momotaro Jeans.

Good fortune for the year 2012. That could have been the title of this post as well. The title is pretty much self explanatory with regards to the content. We just received a batch of Japan Blue Momotaro Jeans Year of the Dragon Calendars for the year 2012. Next year is indeed the Year of the Dragon and this has activated plenty of families around us in an effort to actually get a Dragon Year baby. I know, I know but it is an extremely auspicious year and if I am not mistaken, next year will be the year of the golden dragon which comes along even more seldom.

We’ve posted few videos of Momotaro Jeans and the brand’s background, but you can never post enough details on a brand with such a fascinating background. Below a cool clip (in English), giving insights to the denim brand. The video is about 5 minutes long so I will cut the chase and let’s move straight to the video.

You might have seen the Momotaro Jeans tram (or was it a bus) and all sorts of promotional material from pics to videos but this one’s pretty new. Momotaro Jeans vending machine collaboration with Pepsi Cola. The thing I paid most attention with was the pics of jeans covering the vending machine. I’m pretty sure I recognize some of the jeans. Nonetheless just to say interesting approach, but if you happen to be in the right place at a right time, you could buy your soft drink from a Momotaro Jeans vending machine.

We’re in the denim game not for the sake of big dollars and other material facts (aside from denim of course). Personally I find it much more gratifying to help people get their ideal jeans and hear their stories, not just denim but life as well. It’s a matter of building relationships that last possibly longer than the company or the brand of denim.

Everyone seems to be traveling around. Especially these past few weeks have been rather quiet on the project site with majority of the participants globe-trotting here and there. Fortunately there are some spare moments even during these trips which you can make use of in a most productive way.

Another two weeks, more jeans, more wear and more tear. On my own accord, the past two weeks have been mainly documented in iPhone format, mainly as I have been buzzing around with no hope of catching a break or digging up a proper camera. But even though I have been flying around I still find some time for the fam’lay, especially Maxwell.
