MOMOTARO JEANS #002 Standard Black Selvedge Denim Jacket - 14.7oz

While the #002 is based on the classic Type II denim jacket, the black version carries a distinctly different character. Cut from 14.7oz black selvedge denim and sewn in Okayama, it offers a more understated alternative to traditional indigo. Black denim has long been associated with motorcycle culture, rock music, and modern streetwear, valued for its ability to feel both rugged and refined.

Left unwashed from the factory, the denim is designed to evolve through regular wear. Creases form across the sleeves and body, while the black dye gradually softens at high-wear points, revealing texture and depth that can't be replicated by pre-distressing. It's this aging process that gives black denim its appeal, retaining a cleaner appearance than indigo while still developing a story unique to the wearer.

The balanced fit and practical handwarmer pockets make it an easy everyday layer. Worn over a simple tee, knitwear, or paired with black denim for a tonal look, it offers a different expression of the classic denim jacket. A Japanese-made piece built for long-term wear, with the kind of character that only improves with time.
