FULL REVIEW + PICTURES: https://stridewise.com/momotaro-jeans-review/ 11 WAYS TO SAVE MONEY ON BOOTS: https://stridewise.com/best-boot-deals I try out the slightly, delightfully pink denim from Momotaro, the denim company named for a demon-fighting peach baby. See how these jeans balance Japanese hairiness with Western glossiness. These are the G015-MZ jeans, made with thicker thighs for folks who squat. 00:30 The Momotaro brand 01:37 The G015-MZ Denim 02:54 Details 04:48 Denim Care 06:11 Fit & Sizing 08:03 Price 08:41 Pros 09:32 Cons DENIM 14.7oz thick Zimbabwe cotton Somewhat glossy Very visible white weft The company is veyr proud of the fact that their cotton is hand cut in Zimbabwe, because hand cutting is meant to minimize damage to the thread and keep out plant matter and impurities. Zimbabwe cotton is known for being very white, flexible, and easy to dye. DETAILS Zipper fly Adorned with peach and demon motifs 20 types of threads used Pink selvedge ID These jeans are absolutely covered in peaches: the buttons, the rivets, the waistpatch, the inside of the yoke, even the inside of the flannel pocket bags. The most distinctive thing about these jeans, though, is the pink selvedge ID and inseam: you get pink running all the way up the inside of the leg, which I absolutely love.
