look better next time bugula, there is a thread for Momotaro already  . I'll move this post over to the original when I get a chance. On my cell right now and I don't seem to be able to have all of my mod capabilities on my cell. |

Damn. I coulda sworn there was - searched the first page for it without realizing we'd gone two deep. Sorry for the extra work.  |

I got a pair of the 18oz zims after a failed attempt to own some jb420's will post up pictures soon. The jeans are amazing only my Roy's surpass it in needle work and construction.

I am very interested in your impressions on these. My Gustin Zim 18's did not work size wise and I had to send them back. After seeing this fabric I just have to have a pair, now! What fit did you get. Do you plan to soak them first (I am interested to know if they shrink much, varying reports on the Gustin's)? I have a pair of Roy Kinda Special jeans, how do the Momotaro's compare fit wise to your Roy's? |

I have a pair of Roy Kinda Special jeans, how do the Momotaro's compare fit wise to your Roy's? I got the www.blueowl.us/product/momotaro-natural-tapered-zimbabwe-cotton-18oz-raw-selvedge-denim-model-0605-18/ size 36. I don't know if this compares to the Gustin fabric as i have never seen it in person but the id's are clearly not the same. The fabric looks similar in photo form but who knows if the same mill/yarn was even used. I like the fabric that Momotaro uses thick stiff at first but soft and substantial weave is tight. Wind still cuts though need long johns in winter times if you ride, i would think anyway. Cut is nice, i like it a lot. I am finding the tendency to like higher rise jeans with a solid post knee tapper. Widest pair at the cuff is Roy KS cut and his BB looks a bit more narrow, as another option just released! Higher rise open hips these are one of my best fitting jeans no doubt. I do notice when i have change in the coin pocket getting my wallet out can be a SOB as it like forms a weird barrier! Details on the overall garment pretty nice has many accoutrements not seen in just any offer. Mainly the jacquard pocket bags WHA, and the back pocket single stitch seam and as you see in bugula's image they put a tight bar tack at the seam on the back pockets it is money! Saw a user on styleforum do it to his gustin's i would highly recommend it prevents pull if it snags on something. I do wish they had cotton pocket liners in the rear and wish the belt loops went in to the belt line. Roy's are the only thing standing i have seen made better. Fit wise like i said the bb might be more your speed and o it just released! imgur.com/a/Ug3x8#0 |
