Momotaro 13.5oz 0405-AI "Ultimate Natural Indigo" Denim (High Tapered fit)
Behold - The holy grail of Japanese indigo denim!
We are often asked by our customers about the finest quality Japanese denim on the market. Finally, we can say without reservation - this is the best of the best! From the fabric to the construction and the amazing details, the Momotaro Ultimate Natural Indigo Denim is truly a work of art!
Many Japanese denim fans have seen youtube videos showing how Momotaro constructs their highest denim on traditional hand-operated wooden looms.
First of all, this denim is made of extra-long-staple, top-grade Zimbabwe cotton, which has been grown indoors and hand-picked. This cotton is renowned for its strength and softness with a hand feel similar to some finest silk!
Secondly, this denim is constructed by the first-generation GL9, a half-hand-operated vintage denim machine. Woven at a super slow rate, less than 1m of fabric can be produced per day, with a single pair of denim taking 5-7 days to create!
The natural indigo dyeing process is undertaken by Momotaro's best craftsmen combining using centuries-old traditional Japanese dyeing techniques. The cotton yarns are dyed 30 times with 100% natural indigo which can only be done 1 time per day before the process is repeated.
This traditional natural indigo hand-dyed technique will make sure this beautiful natural indigo will last over centuries that you can leave to your grandchildren or grand-grandchildren! With wear and wash, you will expect more shades of sky blue coming up little by little!
Speaking of details, this features a luxury-standard natural indigo-dyed Japanese silk lining on the yoke for extra strength and comfort! The pocket bags are constructed with the finest-grade zimbabwe cotton and woven on the GL9 loom. Going to the NEXT-LEVEL, Momotaro has chosen rivets and the top button made with 925 silver. The natural indigo sashiko patch is hand-woven for a more soulful look than typical machine-made sashiko. The beautiful hand-embroidered design depicts a magical gourd said to catch evil spirits and bring good luck and long life!
This denim is not for everyone, but if you are a die-hard denim fan, Momotaro Ultinmaatre Natural Indigo Denim is the ultimate choice!
