Momotaro Jeans MMJZ6403 #100 15oz "Botanical Moss Khaki Dye" Straight Jeans

Description

This model is part of the brand's Botanical Dye series, which applies natural dye extracts to a newly developed 15oz Zimbabwe cotton selvedge denim. Inspired by the foliage found on temple grounds and garden paths, the moss dye reflects Japan's natural landscape through a rustic green-brown garment-dye finish – a piece-dyed color unlike anything conventional indigo can produce.

The base cloth is a 15oz selvedge denim woven from Zimbabwe cotton yarns – a long-staple variety prized for its softness, strength, and exceptional aging character. The denim features a structured heavyweight weave and the classic red selvedge ID that defines Momotaro's core lineup, delivering the honest hand feel of premium Japanese denim alongside its evolving natural color.

The #100 fit is widely regarded as one of Momotaro's most balanced silhouettes, developed during the brand's recent rebranding. Cut with a slightly deeper rise and a classic well-balanced width, the silhouette runs clean and straight through the leg for a refined, timeless profile – versatile enough to pair equally well with boots or sneakers.

Details reflect Momotaro's obsession with quality throughout. The jeans feature a button fly, custom engraved buttons and rivets, hidden back pocket rivets, flush-set pocket rivets to prevent scratching phones, a selvedge coin pocket detail, and a cowhide leather patch with Momotaro branding – a nod to the Japanese folktale the brand takes its name from.

Fit Notes: These jeans fit true to size. Compared to most global American brands, we recommend taking your usual size for the intended fit. The denim is sanforized and has been heavily washed during the overdye process, so no further shrinkage is expected. With regular wear, the waistband will stretch approximately 0.5 inch – Momotaro's signature sanforized stretch. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart and comparing it with your best-fitting pair to find the perfect size.
