momotaro + blue in green 0705BIG denim







"We've just received a new shipment of our Momotaro 0705BIG collaboration jeans. A few years ago before we starting carrying the Momotaro brand we were asked for input on designing a new slim fitting silhouette for their "Going to Battle" Label which they later debuted in Japan as the style 0705SP. Momotaro's heavyweight 6x6 sanforized selvage denim was used on the 0705SP, and is only sold as a one wash jean, laundered with a special process using sea water from the coast of Okayama city. The 0705SP also feature Momotaro's "Battle Stripes" painted on the right rear pocket and Pink color inseam stitching to symbolize the peach from which the young Momotaro sprang in the famous story of their brand's namesake.

When deciding on an idea for a collaboration model with Momotaro we thought it was only fitting that we use this slim 0705 silhouette along with some minor detail changes. So for those who prefer the subtle detailing of Momotaro's Copper Label offerings as seen with the 0701 and 0201 styles but the slimmer fit of the 0705SP we present the 0705BIG"

Self Edge x Imperial = SEXI14

Self Edge x Imperial = SEXI14

Imperial, a sole brand from Australia, comes back with another jean made for lovers of slim cuts. This is a further interpretation of the slim centimeter cut, this time tweaking the silhouette a bit to match up to the 18cm fit. This fit isn't necessarily slimmer than the last collaboration we did with Imperial, it's just a little different in it's shaping.








jeans are made of Japanese fabrics but cut and sewn in Australia. The denim is a 15oz unsanforized selvedge fabric that's a super loose weave available in both indigo and black, both are sure to age very well considering the texture of the denim and the loomstate nature of the fabric. The denim was woven in Okayama and the jean was cut and sewn within minutes of the denim mill.

710BK evolution!



almost 6 months on my 710bk

These are one tough denim to break. But a trip to NY totally kicked these 710 butt.
Starting to see more contrasts on the pockets and crotch area.

Visiting B.I.G. (blueingreen)

I had a chance to visit Blue in Green shop or a.k.a. BIG. It was such an awesome experience. Gordon, the owner was super helpful and knew his stuff. Being surrounded by all the denims and many cool trendy selections of Gordon was just overwhelming. Anyway, I ended up picking up a pair of PBJ xx007. I'll post up pics soon. Thanks!
