Was in Japan in August 2024, and Momotaro had just announced that they would be revamping their product lineup, including no longer producing these jeans. They are iconic and I wanted a pair that was from before the reboot of the brand.

Compared to Other Fit
Went in person to the Ayama store in Tokyo. Had a great experience with the staff when trying on several pairs across different fits. I have large calves and cannot fit into narrower jeans with a correct waist size, so I had to go with the wide fit. I’ve grown to like wider cuts a lot more than narrower ones, especially given that they fit me better. They hemmed the jeans in about 5 minutes, and then they went into my bag and then my closet until the temperatures cooled off enough for me to wear them every day.
