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.

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.

Those who follow the blog closely can remember the 0201 Wear and Tear project I posted sometime back. Well the project has evolved since then quite a bit and actually went through the first soaking. So I guess the jeans were washed a bit earlier than the original plan was. But as I have said many times in the past, there is nothing wrong with washing the jeans. It’s actually more or less recommended after several months of wear. If the jeans are good build, they can handle the soaking/washing.

We’ve posted several wear and tear denim projects on our blog and we’re always glad to receive pics and details of your projects in order to share the projects with the rest of our readers. What’s great about these jeans that they always look different depending on the environment they have been worn in and the lifestyle of the wearer of course.

Hi Y’all,

Hope your weekend has been a relaxing one. Helsinki was soaked in sunshine and we made the best of it by having a little photoshoot in celebration of the Spring season. More of that later but this edition is about my Copper Label project.

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,

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.
