Momotaro Jeans

Named for a Japanese folk hero who fought demons, Momotaro leans into the mythology: the pink selvedge line and diagonal "battle stripes" woven into the pocket bags are meant to signal a warrior's jeans, not just a design flourish. Made in Kojima, the historic heart of Japanese denim production, each pair gets a level of hand-distressing most brands reserve for limited runs. It's a heritage story you can actually see on the fabric, which is rarer than it sounds.
