Momotaro Jeans always played important role in our Denim Heads game. They were one of the first products we offered, they are undoubtedly one of the best (and most interesting) denim brands in the whole world, they are good friends and it is always a pleasure to meet with and what is the most important fact, it is a first pair of real japanese denim jeans on this Denim Heads blog.
Since 10th of October 2010 I tried to wear them as much as possible for some time (let's say 1 year) then I started to rotate them with some other jeans. They were used when walking, biking, riding motorbikes, driving cars, flying, going by boat, sitting on the bar, and yes, hang-banging on so many concerts. Last 1,5 year I started to wear them less and less often, only for more special occasions, like meeting with my friend Katsu etc. It was a pleasure to see them changing the color, shape and obviously they were changing the size a lot by wearing, soaking, washing, hemming etc. All the informations about the size changes you can see easily in the table bellow. Let me just point out that those jeans were bought unsanforized so the sizes really have changed quite rapidly. Most jeans we sell are sanforized thus you don't need to think about such big changes...

| Almost 6 months old, some soaks, 1 wash |
The jeans were traveling with me everywhere but once they went to the far Japan, to Okayama, to be repaired and hemmed. We wrote about this "trip" here.
