This nylon sashiko jean was conceived as a breakthrough by transitioning from cotton to nylon. Momotaro aimed to create a unique sashiko pant with a distinctive Gorpcore touch, incorporating a durable technical material like nylon and a modern, relaxed style without sacrificing indigo dye and superior craftsmanship.
Weaving nylon fabric was challenging, and various obstacles arose during production. However, Momotaro succeeded in bringing this idea to life thanks to the collaboration of skilled craftsmen in weaving and sewing. Nylon's superior strength and lightness compared to cotton allowed them to achieve an indigo dye on a material rarely seen in the heritage scene. These jeans are versatile, suitable for both city and outdoor wear, and we recommend wearing them ruggedly, as the indigo fading on the nylon sashiko will be unique.
The wide cut with a high rise offers total freedom of movement and superior comfort, including a brass zipper instead of buttons. This cut tapers slightly from the knee down, making the hem look perfect with any type of footwear. Sizing is in even numbers, and as with most Momotaro products, we recommend choosing your usual size. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size.
