The 0605-SILK marks a new direction for Momotaro and integrates into their exceptional denim range with luxurious accents. As one would expect, the warp is made of Zimbabwean cotton, dyed with pure indigo and meticulously woven on an authentic shuttle loom. However, it is the weft that truly sets this model apart, as it intricately incorporates a silk yarn, giving it a remarkably smooth texture that only silk can provide. The result is a 16oz denim that promises not only great durability but also breathes softness and luxury. Moreover, silk is known for its superior moisture absorption and quick drying properties compared to cotton, making this jean a definite asset, especially during the warmer seasons, despite its weight.

By choosing to integrate silk into this denim, Momotaro thus presents us with a sophisticated jean, unlike any other, and loudly asserts its position as a major manufacturer with unmatched craftsmanship. The exemplary finishes also attest to this, with contrast chain-stitching, branded buttons and rivets emblematic of Momotaro, and a vegetable tanned leather patch dyed with indigo.

For the fit, the 0605 from Momotaro features the Natural Tapered, a comfortable fit at the mid-rise with a deep yoke shifted to the back for better support, comfort at the thighs followed by a very slight taper.
