Look for the 0405. It’s their high tapered cut. It’s glorious.Been desperately looking for a pair of momos that are not super slim in the thigh/seat area, but taper pretty narrow at the ankle and have at least a 36" inseam. Anyone know of any? I had the 201 copper labels and wore them out, but those were too wide at the ankle and I wanted to move down once I wore through them. Ordered the G004-MB and they were narrower in the ankle but still wider than I'd like. Is there even a model of Momotaro's that has what I'm looking for?

I have several momotaro jeans, bought either in Japan or through OD - the quality has always been outstanding, and never had any issues.
I've had 3 pairs of 0201s and not one quality problem.
My first pair is almost 8 years old, and for the first couple of years got worn almost every day. I just took them in for repairs for maybe the 5th time. The guy at the Self Edge NYC pulled out his best bedside manner and broke it to me that this might be the last time.
These repairs are purely from wearing them to death. Nothing quality-related.
If it helps, you should DM kiya from Self Edge. If you want to know anything about Japanese denims, he is the person to ask. Although Self Edge does not carry Momotaro, it doesn't mean the brand is no good.
That's good to hear. I'd like nothing better than to believe the pair I have will now last many years, but it goes without saying the initial experience was disappointing. Before going with Momotaro, I read through many threads on this forum, reddit and superfuture and didn't see a single QC complaint. My pics above do make me wonder if Momotaro (like many brands) has quietly cut costs while trading on their brand equity.
Do you guys have an opinion on Momotaro build quality vs. Pure Blue Japan, Tanuki, et al? I get that preferences on fabric weight, slubbiness, etc. are subjective.
