A new standard, an iconic classic!

Momotaro is back again, with their new and improved GTB tee - this time at slightly heavier 8oz! Spun from thick Zimbabwean cotton on vintage looms, these tees are wonderfully wearable. The increased weight from previous seasons reveals even more texture across the tee, which will, with wear, age stunningly. Over time it will continue to soften and become perfect for everyday wear! The neck is made from a particular solid binder specification, so it's sure to hold up over many years of year, and retain that proper neckline that all good tees need! 

And, of course, this tee features the iconic GTB stripes on the sleeve! The stripes are discharge printed, and will age and crackle gracefully with wash and wear. As the tee ages the yarn-dye colour will fade to a vintage look, which will contrasting nicely against the iconic GTB double stripes!

If you know, you know - and you know Momo!

 

Momo’s always got you covered!

A new classic from the Momotaro line, this is the perfect mid-weight pair of jeans. Made from a classic 13oz Zimbabwe cotton denim, it’s a lovely combination of soft and easy-to-wear denim that is perfect all year round wear!

Using the same weaving method as their 15.7oz denim, this pair strikes the perfect balance between super-soft comfort with a slightly irregular texture for some soulful character! Just like their 15.7oz denim, this has been indigo yarn-dyed around 20 times resulting in an ultra-rich, almost black look! With time, you can expect to see some beautiful high contrast fading with plenty of lighter and darker indigo hues!

This pair features all the details you’d expect from Momotaro, with iron Momo buttons, hidden copper rivets and jacquard-lined pockets for ultra durability! Momo have chosen a special indigo-dyed deerskin leather patch which will age to a soulful look with time! Of course, the signature Momo peach-coloured inseam and selvedge threading!

The SP line also features the iconic Momotaro “Going to Battle Stripes” emblazoned across the back pocket! These have been carefully screen-printed by the skilled Momo craftsmen and will age to a vintage crackled look with time!The 0306 model is a mid-rise jean, with a slim-tapered fit. We find it sits comfortably with its higher rise, and with a slightly more accommodating thigh.

The 0405 model is a high-rise jean, with a slim-tapered fit. We find it sits pretty high on the waist, features a roomy thigh, and tapers down to a tight leg opening. A modern tapered fit, with a more accomodating wait and thigh line.

Let 'em age and grow like nature!

Yet again, merging the beauty of vintage American workwear and the long history of Japan's natural dying traditions, MOMO has created something special.

High-standard 12.7oz hickory fabric is made using vintage denim weaving machines and features a grand indigo-dyed thread and natural, unbleached cotton. To take things a step further, MOMO has used aged 'Hinoki' cypress bark to naturally overdye the hickory fabric to achieve a warm beige hue. Watch at this fades to a vintage look with soft contrast over time and the 'earth' colour of the bark slowly reveals in areas of wear.

Constructed with a classic 5-pocket design, the riveted pockets and chain stitch construction will hold up very well with time. The brass zip fly makes for a more comfortable wearing experience and is complimented by the super soft, vegetable-tanned cowhide patch.

If you're seeking something unique but with a vintage look, this is an amazing choice!

For this pair, MOMO has created a very special run of their 15.7oz denim. Made using grand indigo and 'Mint Blue' coloured sulphur, the overall denin has an amazing vibrant colour.

The classic 'Going to Batle' stripes have been colour match in a cool, mint blue ink. This adds some tasteful contrast and a subtle shift from the standard pure white GTB stripes. The cowhide leather patch has been vegetable tanned and will gradually develop and dark patina over time. Of course, the iconic 'Peach' coloured inseam stitch has been included for some tasteful contrast.
