I try out the slightly, delightfully pink denim from Momotaro, the denim company named for a demon-fighting peach baby. See how these jeans balance Japanese hairiness with Western glossiness.

These are the G015-MZ jeans, made with thicker thighs for folks who squat.

DENIM
14.7oz thick
Zimbabwe cotton
Somewhat glossy
Very visible white weft

The company is veyr proud of the fact that their cotton is hand cut in Zimbabwe, because hand cutting is meant to minimize damage to the thread and keep out plant matter and impurities. Zimbabwe cotton is known for being very white, flexible, and easy to dye.

DETAILS
Zipper fly
Adorned with peach and demon motifs
20 types of threads used
Pink selvedge ID

These jeans are absolutely covered in peaches: the buttons, the rivets, the waistpatch, the inside of the yoke, even the inside of the flannel pocket bags.

The most distinctive thing about these jeans, though, is the pink selvedge ID and inseam: you get pink running all the way up the inside of the leg, which I absolutely love.

CARE
Wash separately from other clothes
Wash inside out
Famously slow to fade

FIT & SIZING
Okayama Denim calls this a "lifter's cut"
Bigger thighs, larger glutes
Order a size up from your normal waist
Not a very high rise

PROS
Under $250
Handmade
Very cool peach details
Sturdy, secure stitching
14.7oz can be warn in warmer weather

CONS
Synthetic indigo
Slow to fade
Very clean, not fuzzy/slubby
Pink stitching might turn off some people
