Denim

The 0306-82IE from MOMOTARO is sewn using a  sanforized denim that features an uncharacteristically high amount of slub texture, made possible through a low-tension weave style coupled with US Cotton. The denim sports a classic indigo colour that will fade to a vintage blue with wear. For the iconic "Going to Battle" (GTB) stripes, MOMOTARO has used vintage embroidery machines. This raised texture will become enhanced with time and fade beautifully. This embroidered detail is made with grand indigo dyed threads. Other classic details include pink selvedge and inseam, both of which serve as an homage to the peach in the original "Momotaro" folktale. The "Going to Battle" stripes are a symbol of Japanese tradition representing honor and strength. The warrior stripes also represent the flag carried by "Momotaro" in the folklore story.

MOMOTARO's "Tight Tapered" fit is a very slim and modern tapered fit. The waist is true to size, with a low rise, slim thighs, and a strong taper throughout the leg.

Important Note: Every denim product will lose colour. This is due to the special indigo dying process. After several washes, the losing of colour will be less and will stop over time. Some helpful advise:

• When washing, close the zipper and fasten all buttons and always turn the jeans inside out. Wash separately. When drying, hang the jeans (preferabbly in shade) inside out and let the jeans dry naturally.
• Pay attention when you sit on light surfaces
• Be careful with wearing light clothes (i.e. underwear). Body warmth may cause denim to fade out

This "Ultimate Pima" is raw cotton of the Sea Island species organically grown in the U.S.A. The growing period is one month longer than the Upland species and has a lower yield per area than the Supima species. Sea Island Cotton, also known as “black seed” or “Gossypium barbadense”, boasts a unique set of characteristics that places it above other species. At 36/37mm, the staple yarn is extra-long and is super fine in texture. It also has a significant brightness of 3.1 to 3.4 Micronaire (which measures the permeability of the cotton fibres when compressed). All this results in a cotton that is noticeably stronger, softer and more luxurious. Loaded with signature MOMOTARO details, including pink selvedge and inseam, both of which serve as an homage to the peach in the original "Momotaro" folktale. Branded leather patch and hidded selvedge coin pocket round out the details.

To kick off SS23, and to celebrate their 20th anniversary, 3sixteen is launching a new denim that is custom woven by Nihon Menpu fabric mill. While looking through new yarns and indigo dye treatments, they came across some swatches utilizing cotton from Burkina Faso, one of Africa’s largest cotton producers. What struck them about this Burkina Faso cotton is the character in the weave; the cotton takes the indigo with slight inconsistency, and the "neppiness" of the yarns yield a slightly rough weave that gives the appearance of both vertical and horizontal streaking, an effect that we anticipate will show more clearly as the denim is worn in. The fabric comes in at a hair over 13oz when raw, but the finished garment is given a light rinse and tumble dry to bring out the blues further and give the jeans a broken-in feel from day one. The double line selvedge ID on the fly and hidden coin pocket detailing are in emerald, the accent colour for the 20th anniversary. Trims include gunmetal YKK punch-through rivets and shanks, and a natural tan 20th anniversary leather patch. 

The Classic Tapered (CT) cut is a blend of 3sixteen's Classic Straight and Slim Tapered fits which results in a jean that provides a high rise, room in the top block and a taper from the knee down. Made in USA.
