Attribute deep dive
We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.
Quality Analysis 100/100
This denim is built to last, featuring a substantial 14oz Zimbabwe cotton selvedge denim known for its exceptional durability and rigid raw feel. Further reinforcing its longevity are construction details like custom engraved buttons and rivets, along with a robust chain stitch on the hem.
Comfort Assessment 60/100
This denim is designed for durability and a classic rigid feel, which suggests a lower comfort score due to the lack of stretch or adaptive features. The "Tight Tapered" fit is described as a very slim and modern tapered fit, which may feel restrictive without elastane.
Sustainability Impact 70/100
This garment is made from 100% Zimbabwe cotton, a natural fiber, and is manufactured in Japan, which suggests a focus on quality and potentially higher labor standards. However, there are no explicit claims regarding organic certification, recycled content, or ethical production practices to positively grade its sustainability.

Garment details

Nearly 7 years after its last appearance, Momotaro revives the famous Grand Indigo dye for this special collaboration denim. Known for its distinctive greencast color, the famous Grand Indigo dye was previously reserved for Momotaro's early special projects, before it was discontinued in 2013 for being too difficult to produce. This limited release revives the Grand Indigo dye and pairs it with an all-new 14oz Zimbabwe cotton selvedge denim that sports a classic rigid raw denim feel with exceptional durability. The Midnight Edition jeans are equipped with special details pulled from prior collaborations, like hidden fade-in "Going to Battle" stripes within the back right pocket, and all-original Momotaro branding and detailing, including pink selvedge and inseam.
