Are my Japan Blue- momo colab going to be the same as any other Momo?? I want to get another pair of jeans and wondering how to size........Jay recommended size 30 in my current pair for me when my true waist is 33.............so tight still!


Normally I wear a 33 in TTS clothing (e.g. Epaulet Rivet Chino) and I went with a 31 in 0400SP. I could have gone one size down if I wanted a tighter fit.

My experience with JB denim is that they are not woven as tight as Momo, so you will get a bit of stretch at areas of stress like all other denim.

Shipment from BOW finally arrived today (9 days to Paris, quite good).

700


The size of the Japan Blue JB0101 and the Momotaro 0702 are good (both tag 32). I am just a bit tight in both.

Special thanks to Jay for his help in sizing.

wow. v nice work. how many washes/soaks/years?


5-6 washes over 9-10 months or so. A lot of labor outside, pool jumps, whatever. Got these as a pair of "I don't care" jeans that have seen everything.

is TTS the way to go with the Blue Owl Skinny Straights, or should I size up one?:eh: I'm a bit worried about the low rise


IIRC they are unsanforized, so sizing up wouldn't be a bad idea. They shrink down from tagged size to smaller.
