Hello,
I would like to buy a Momotaro's pair of jeans.
Going to Battle label would be a plus, but NOT a requirement.
No wash would be a plus, but NOT a requirement.
I try to identify the right fit and size. Your help would be much appreciated!
IMPORTANT: Please note I only wash my jean in COLD water after 6 months or so, so usually they do NOT shrink significantly, even if unsanforized. On the opposite, they tend to stretch by about one size with wear! (It is very common I cannot button them completely the first weeks...and they become loose after a few month.) But I heard Momotaro's don't stretch that much...
I am H shaped, very narrow.
1.79m (5'10.4") for 68kg (150lbs).
Long legs for my size (with L34 I usually wear my jean uncuffed).
I usually wear size W28/L34, sometimes W29/L34.
Currently, my best fitting pair is an A.P.C New Standard W28/L34.
Measurements (after one year of wear):
Many thanks for your help!

Edit: I don't know if Momo does that, but I HATE low crotch.

Measurements (after one year of wear):
- Waist: 40cm (15.75") (measured flat, exterior, with front and back waistbands lined-up)
38 cm (15") (measured flat, exterior, with front and back waistbands NOT lined-up)
Waist is absolutely perfect when standing!
Waist tends to get slightly loose at the back when sitting and my shirt to untuck, but I guess it is more related to insufficient back rise than to too large waist. Opinion welcome! - Front rise: 25cm (9.84")
- Back rise: 33.5cm (13.19")
Please see the comment after this bullet list. I have an untucking shirt issue...
- Upper thighs: 27.5cm (10.8")
Perfect! - Knees: 19.5cm (7.68")
Good, but I have quite bulky calves (regarding my skinny build), so maybe something around 20cm (7.87") would be better? - Leg openings: 17,5cm (6.89")
OK, but I would like something more tapered.
On the other hand, I tried several jeans with leg opening around 15.5cm (6.1") and it was WAY too narrow. Especially to accommodate the shoes I wear (mostly vintage English oxford of boots (old Edward Green, Jogh Lobb, Trickers'...)). It felt unbalanced and gave impression of gigantic feet (EU43/UK9/US10). Maybe something around 16.5 would make the deal? - Inseam: 84cm (33.07")
Almost perfect.
83cm would be perfect uncuffed.
86cm or more would allow me to cuff (better looking I think).
Many thanks for your help!
