Worn Momotaros

Hi Y’all,
Today coming at ya with a twist, like a twist of lime in a cool drink. Haha, that’s it for the opening words. Had a major day yesterday with major updates and appointments and ended up getting shuteye real early too. You know the days when you lay on your back at 9pm and fall asleep. Next thing you know is that it’s 1am, damn. Lucky there wasn’t anything special on TV, heh.
Vintage 0901 – Week XX
by Taavi Kuisma on Aug.28, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
Back with an update on the 0901 project. Basically I could be calling this edition the XVIII-XX, but for clarity and basically just for the sound of it, I’m calling it week XX, for that it is. Twenty weeks in the most wear I have every put to any of my jeans to this date. What can I say, I do love my jeans.
Vintage 0901 – Week XVI & XVII
by Taavi Kuisma on Aug.11, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
Greetings and hope your day has started well.
Mine started with an early wake-up. Got plenty of work done as well. I firmly stand behind the idea of waking up and starting your work early. There are no people around you and you surely get a lot more done with no distractions. Then you have the rest of the day all open for impromptu work and other stuff like updating your blog, heh.

Vintage 0901 – Week XIV & XV
by Taavi Kuisma on Jul.24, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
My Momotaro project is moving ahead at a nice pace. Last week I had a chance to hit the beach and enjoy the summer weather. Well the whole trip was a bit extempore and I did not have my shorts along. No worries, cuff the jeans and voila you have a pair of shorts, heh. Well it was all good. Some might shuck at the idea of wearing heavy oz denim during the summer, but hey each their own. Wearing my jeans in the sand is all good, not something I would probably think of straight away but it’s a wear and tear project after all, heh. (continue reading…)
Vintage 0701 – Tight Fit Straight Momotaro jeans
by Taavi Kuisma on Jul.22, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
It’s been a long time coming but I’ve got some pics and information of the new 0701 Momotaro jeans. The jeans have the same raw heavy oz denim finishing as the other Vintage label jeans. The jeans have a great slender cutting and provide a good fit. But pictures speak a thousand words so decided to share a few pictures of the new jeans. Do note that the jeans in the picture are in raw form and will shrink/adjust a bit after initial soaking. Thus providing even better fit. I will post some post soaking pictures as soon as possible. We’re also working to bring in the sizing chart for the design. So stay tuned.

Vintage 0901 – Week XIII (the camera phone edition)
by Taavi Kuisma on Jul.12, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
Weekend is passing by at a swift pace and it’s already Sunday. What actually happened to Saturday, eh?
After plenty of wear lately I did indeed give another wash to my 0901 Momotaros. This time there was basically no more shrinking. The jeans have adjusted very nicely and the length is pretty much perfect for yours truly. Wanted to take a set of detailed pics this week but realized that all I had was my phone and 2MPs of camera quality, heh. Well beggars can’t be choosers but I did manage to take some shots that sure show the current after wash stage of my jeans.
Vintage 0901 – Week XI & XII
by Taavi Kuisma on Jul.03, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
Decided to combine weeks XI and XII this time. Time goes by real fast and we need to keep moving along. Time is money as they say and there is no time to spare. For this week’s edition decided to drop less detailed pics and stay with the “everyday life theme”. The jeans have gone through soaking and washing and have adjusted really well. I do have to mention though that I have given the jeans a stretch after each wash to maintain the waist size as it is and to make sure there is still some room for slight shrinking.
