The Momotaro High Blue Fade Selvedge Jeans in the #100 Straight fit take Japanese denim craftsmanship in a completely different direction. Starting with a dark indigo denim base, the fabric undergoes a highly controlled bleaching process that removes most of the indigo while intentionally leaving behind subtle pale blue undertones. Achieving this washed-out, almost white appearance without making the denim look flat or lifeless requires extensive sampling and precise wash work.
The result is a clean, refined shade that stands apart from standard light-wash jeans. The remaining hints of blue give the denim depth and texture while maintaining a soft, understated appearance. Rather than looking overly distressed or artificial, the fade has a smooth, balanced character that still highlights the texture of the denim.
The #100 Straight fit is Momotaro’s classic straight-leg silhouette. It features a moderately roomy upper block with a straight leg and a gentle taper below the knee, creating a balanced shape that feels clean rather than oversized. The slightly deeper rise helps the jeans sit securely and comfortably at the waist while allowing natural movement throughout the leg.
Made in Japan from 100% cotton denim, these jeans combine lightweight visual character with the construction quality Momotaro is known for. The fit and fabric work together to create a jean that feels relaxed and refined while remaining easy to wear daily.

Care Instructions
Due to the nature of the denim and wash process, slight shrinkage may occur after washing. Wash separately to avoid color transfer. Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat may cause shrinkage.
Because the denim has undergone a specialized fading process, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong artificial light may gradually alter the color over time. We recommend storing the jeans in a cool, darker area when not being worn.
