Description
Momotaro Jeans' standard line uses 14.7oz signature pink selvedge denim, a proprietary mid-tension fabric renowned for its deep dye and textured handfeel.
Crafted from 100% extra-long staple Zimbabwe cotton, this sanforized 14.7oz selvedge denim uses intense rope-dyed double black construction to echo with the world's deepest blue — while the vintage shuttle loom imparts slubby irregularity and softness that improves with wear. The latest Momotaro Standard 14.7oz fabric uses denser and finer yarns to create a refined heritage style.
Ring Dye
Everybody heard of rope-dyed denim or rope-dyed jeans. But the real aim is to create the “Ring Dye” effect.
The "ring dye" effect is a hallmark of premium denim achieved through indigo rope dyeing, where dye coats only the outer layers of yarn fibers, leaving the white core exposed for iconic fading.
A regular indigo denim yarn is dipped 8-12 times in an indigo batch on average. Whilst some denim may be dipped 16-20 times. Momotaro is known for dyeing their yarn 29-30 times to create a super dark indigo blue.
Similar technique can be applied to dyeing black yarns. While black dye are chemically attached to the yarns as opposed to the physically attached indigo dye, rope-dyeing a black denim yarn takes extra specialty to accomplish good results. Making the denim a bit more rare and costly to produce.
100 Fit
The #100 is a slightly relaxed straight fit, featuring a refined basic silhouette, moderate thigh width, and gentle taper from the knee down. It has a high rise and slight waist wrap for comfort.

Notes
- Hemming will take 2~4 working days.
- Once an item is been hemmed, it will not be eligible for return or refund.
- For the length on sanforized raw denim, it is recommend to add 2-3cm in length considering the shrinkage after first wash.
- For unsanforized denim, we normally offer them in rinsed (one-washed) condition, hence there is no need to consider shrinkage.
