Momotaro

[CMT1]

BTW The E30 is long gone. Probably should change the avitar. Had a few over the years . Miss the ’88 M3 I sold. One of the dumber things I’ve done.

Hindsight 20/20 and all that my man. A few friends and ex-owners feel the same way, but it's just how it goes.

I keep thinking about pulling my 91 325is out of storage and finally proceeding with the S54 swap, but I just can't bring myself to light that fuse so I'm content to continue letting it sit and appreciate. I'm sure if I'm ever ready to sell it the market will have shifted and it will be worthless, which is also the way it goes - For me.

Minimally. If you can't close the top button, you won't ever be able to.

Sad news. Had a flight and there was some tacky jolly-rancher like candy near the footwell I didn’t see. Anyone know how to clean this out?

the fades are starting to really come in on this pair. I’d hate to have to start over

Update: was able to get 95% of it out with just light dabbing with wet water over about 4 iterations. Good enough for me until whenever I do my first wash

After wearing them for a few months, I've come to the conclusion that the 15THB02 is one of my all-time favorite pairs of jeans. They fit me well and I really like the broken twill denim. I like them so much that I decided to get a second pair, which is something I have only done once previously. Unfortunately, there are only a few scattered sizes left around the world, but they're mostly gone at this point. I spent some time searching and managed to track down a second pair at Burg und Schild. Both the jeans and the store are highly recommended.

Hey yall, just got a size 33 momotaro 0105sp narrow tapered in, lmk how they look. they fit fine for the most part, I needed a pair of jeans with roomy thighs but smaller waist and a high enough rise to prevent a plumber's crack showing when bending over.

Killer - Love the taper. I had to send my 0205SPs to Railcar to get that non-cavernous leg opening, and the fit looks awesomely comfortable even brand new.

They shouldn't shrink much with time/age/washing, and the waist always stretches back out after washing on mine, so if you like fit right now, I'd think you're good to go!

thanks, it's my first time buying momotaro and they fit fine right out the box. I look forward to wearing these hard in the fall and winter

Hey all, new to raw denim but interested in a pair of Momotaro 0905sp. I'm a shorter guy and I saw that they offer inseam adjusting from the Momotaro site, how much can I expect for these jeans to shrink and how much on the inseam should I compensate? Or am I better off getting them first, washing to see shrinkage, and then just getting it hemmed then? Thanks.

I would wear and wash before adjusting the inseam.

They're sanforized, so there shouldn't be much shrinkage. If you want to be extra cautious, add a half inch to your preferred length. I don't think there's much need to wash, then hem.

Thank you for the suggestion

Oh neat I didn't know they were sanforized, thanks.
