Momotaro Jeans
#500 Standard Narrow Straight
Momotaro's #500 runs true to size against the other premium Japanese denim we stock. If you're coming from typical Australian or American brands, you may want to size up - Japanese denim is cut with a more structured silhouette and considerably less ease than mainstream fashion denim. The narrow straight leg sits close through the thigh and tapers to a clean hem. The surest check is to measure a pair you already wear well and compare it against the numbers below.

How we measure
Every figure is taken with the jeans laid flat and smoothed out, read in centimetres.
- Waist
- Measured across the waistband from edge to edge at the top of the jeans. We then double that number.
- Front Rise
- Measured from the crotch to the top of the waistband at the front centre of the jeans.
- Rear Rise
- Measured from the crotch to the top of the waistband at the rear centre of the jeans.
- Thigh
- From just below the crotch seam. Measure directly across the thigh from edge to edge of the fabric.
- Hem
- Measured across the hem at the base of the leg.
- Inseam
- Measured from the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem following the seam along the inside of the leg.
