Thanks so much, dude! Means a lot.

This review came just in the nick of time for me. I'm going to Japan this weekend and had my heart set on Momotaro jeans, but I will definitely give these a try. I was going to get the MOMOTARO 0106SPZ for the exact same reason. I need a roomier thigh and butt while still narrow at the bottom.

Always enjoy your videos Nick. Do you have a list in priority order of your most favorite jeans? I’ll use that list to buy my next 2-3 pair. Thank you!!

I just got these in today and I can honestly say in blown away! You really can't even begin to explain the texture because pictures don't even come close to doing it justice! Oh sorry I got the slb 0-19. Seriously insane.

I think these jeans look the best on you out of all the jeans you have reviewed on the channel. I love your jeans content, no one on youtube does it, keep up the good work, please review more jeans! Subscribed!

Great video and has helped me do some denim research. I wanted to mention that I have heard on good authority from a denim retailer that the PBJ NP-019 features synthetic indigo, not natural. Maybe that's worth double-checking? 🤷‍♂️ Likewise PBJ's website does not mention a natural source for the dye of this cut. I suspect maybe this powdered indigo you mentioned = synthetic.

Just got my PBE-019, and I love the fit!! Also a big fan of the IH-888 fit, so… yeah, I’m that kind of guy

what about fading in relation to sanforized or unsanforized denim? does one fade faster or with more contrast then the other based on that? and what about one washed or home soaked, does that make it so the fading isn't as dramatic?

Hey nick-- hoping you could advise here a bit more with your height + weight for sizing. Do you typically wear a ~17in waist for a mid rise? I'm about 190lb athletic build and prefer a ~17.25in for a mid low rise and am debating between a 33-34 for the 019 cut for a slim fit. I'm having a hard time gauging the rise and fit impact online

I just acquired SLB-013 and its feel premium and solid. I just wish the inseam to be a bit longer by 2 inches, just like Momotaro.

Okayama is Japan’s historical center of indigo-dyed textiles ( _ai-zome_ ), so it makes sense that the country’s denim-making industry would set up shop there. (Knowing this, however, does not change the fact that the most expensive Japanese jeans I can afford are your mall-brand Edwins.)

+Zahinn. The whole thing about selvedge denim always makes me laugh. Few people seem to realize that all woven fabrics come off the loom with selvedge edges. In the past, it was retained, to save a double seam on the outside leg, but as production increased, it caused 2 problems. Firstly when cutting machines that cut several layers of denim were introduced, it was impossible to keep the layers in register. Therefore, the cutting worked from the center, the selvedge went to waste and machines were introduced to carpet stitch the outside edge of the jeans. Secondly, due to the increased demand for denim. factories installed wider looms. Therefore, even if the selvedge was retained, it would be on less than half of the jeans. This would have made volume production a nightmare. Today, smaller specialist companies have created a demand for retaining the selvedge, while saving the huge costs of the carpet stitching machines. Mainstream manufactureres have 'cashed in' by cutting a few jeans from the broadloom denim at the edges. Although they are cut from the same roll of fabric as other jeans, the price is higher. When you see a single strand of another color in the selvedge it is simply manufacturers loom identification. In the past, denim made to Levi's specification had a red strand. It is amazing how an industry can create fashion statements from changes in production methods. PS, Raw denim is another story. but very similar. Preshrunk denim was introduced when poly-cotton started being used for stronger seams at lower cost. If this was used without shrinking the denim, as the jeans shrunk in the wash and the seams did not, the stitching would come loose. You will occasionally see this on raw denim jeans today, where the manufacturer has overlooked the problem. You may be surprised that I have nothing to do with jeans manufacture, I deal with fabrics used for the restoration of historic buildings. LOL
