---Which products do you have in MOMOTARO JEANS?--- |
I have 5 pairs: Momotaro x Denimio DE0305 Indigo and black Blue Owl x Momotaro BOM00X-T |
---What was your first encounter with MOMOTARO JEANS?--- |
I was first introduced to them by a friend from the Instagram shoe and workwear world @tichoblancoshoes. I asked him for some suggestions of new denim brands to try, he immediately suggested MOMO!!! Honestly, I was a bit hesitant about the white battle stripes, but I found the pair from James Dant, with black battle stripes. I have bought many pairs from the guys at James Dant before, so I had to give them a try. I think within a week of having them, I had already ordered 2 other pairs lol! |

---What do you like about MOMOTARO JEANS?--- |
With any denim the two most important details are; are they well made and do they fit well? |

---Do MOMOTARO JEANS go well with your pastime?--- |
Right now with the Covid situation in the states, the ability to go out and have activities as we normally would is somewhat limited. That said, going for walks and walking the dogs with my wife is the primary one right now. Also, if I have to venture out for supplies, it’s usually in Momotaro’s. I do love my shoes as well, hence the IG name, shellvedge (shell cordovan and selvedge denim) so I will almost always have on nice shoes, loafers or boots with them. |

---Are you very particular about the Momotaro jeans you wear--- |
I typically will wear lighter weight denim in the warmer months and hotter days. Also I will make sure to use the variety of denim to match appropriately with my shoes and shirt. Typically, I’d like to wear 14.7 oz and under, when really hot, but I don’t have any specific rules I follow all the time. Especially when I get a new pair, I get a little obsessed with wearing them a lot! |

---Do you have a product you are planning to buy next time?--- |
I always do, lol. As you can see from my current pairs, I don’t necessarily have what I think is a classic Momotaro pair of mid/heavyweight Zimbabwe cotton slub denim. I have the special slub, the lighter weight, the limited edition and black and indigo. So I was deciding between the 0605-18ID 18OZ SELVEDGE DENIM NATURAL TAPERED JEANS and the 0305-2G 18OZ ID×GRAY SELVEDGE DENIM TIGHT TAPERED JEANS. The grey selvedge is just very appealing, and I really do want a pair of 18oz. Hopefully, I will be able to decide soon! |
