soulquarianz, care to share info on the sizing of momotaro raw? is it true to size or sizing down is a must? i am interested in the 0100SP.
*
from my reading and research for Japan Blue X Momotaro 0100SP u need to go TTS....initially its 1 size bigger, so u need to soak it and it will shrink to tagged size.

here's sizing from BlueOwls

Sizing:

* Size 29 (30" waist, 9.25" rise, 10" thigh, 7.4" knee, 39" inseam, 6.8" leg opening)
* Size 30 (31" waist, 9.5" rise, 10.5" thigh, 7.8" knee, 39" inseam, 7.2" leg opening)
* Size 31 (32" waist, 9.75" rise, 10.75" thigh, 8.25" knee, 39" inseam, 7.5" leg opening)
* Size 32 (33" waist, 10" rise, 11" thigh, 8.5" knee, 39" inseam, 8" leg opening)
* Size 33 (34" waist, 10.25" rise, 11.5" thigh, 9" knee, 39" inseam, 8.4" leg opening)
* Size 34 (35" waist, 10.5" rise, 12" thigh, 9.5" knee, 39" inseam, 8.75" leg opening)
* Size 36 (37" waist, 11" rise, 13" thigh, 10.25" knee, 39" inseam, 9.4" leg opening)

or u can refer this

http://www.nordicdenimhouse.com/index.php?...ge_id=fit_guide

click on Momotaros, theirs seems to be the most accurate info....

btw for additional or extra...might aswell u go for Momotaro instead of JB x Momo because 2 are different denim material (read around in few forum such as sufu or sf then u know why).

But if u still keen on that model i think Cultizm offer the cheapest price plus free FEDEX shipping !

thanks for the info, soul.

the only reason why i would want to procure jb x momotaro is because of the cutting. i don't see momotaro with skinny/slim cut, or is there any?
i think 0201 is slim fit....

my MOMOTARO landed aswell....my gamble paid off...ship using USPS Priority International Parcel (however took 11 days from California to KL) no tax whatsoever despite shipper put full figures hehe...

if anyone wearing size 28 or 29, theres 1 online retailer selling Momotaro Slightly Tapered 15.7oz Trim & Slim Straight in Raw/Unwashed Model 201 for USD 234 only (i think is the cheapest price for MOMO) free shipping aswell from USA...

I can attest this is a very good pair of jeans, you may want to try asking bundle shops around if they are willing to take it off you.  Momotaro (esp the GTB stripes) and Samurai seems to the holy grail of jeans to them
*
lol but i never visited or know any bundle shop beside the buntil in BB plaza but if u know or have their contact no pls lemme know....i need to sell at loss cry.gif soonest possible....

also based on my research and reading this pair and the denim material will give u awesome fades as fast as the 2 month if you're rough with it....like skating cycling etc.....

anyway i'm willing to give very special deal to those who can deal me before friday (usa time). they can use credit card (pay via paypal) or cash (bank transfer, COD) coz i got reservation for replacement but they only reserve for me and i must pay by friday (usa time) cry.gif

Ya, you can try Buntil, Bongkar in BB or maybe Lan.
I know a shop in Klang called Bro bundle , the guys there recognised the GTB stripes on my momo the moment i step into the shop.  Told me they sold a Samurai for rm1500 to someone earlier  blink.gif 

there is no return policy in BiG ?
*
not worth it to return....coz to return itself already over RM100...if use fedex/dhl or ups even more expensive....then after that i still need to pay additional postage fee of exchange so making this more expensive...more or less will end up paying rm300 plus for postage only so thats why rather sell then to return....

if use normal scared the item didnt reach them so dont wanna gamble on that last time have bad experience with this return stuff to USA

btw if u happen to have their number let me know i will call them personally

That was a quick one bro, congrats.  BTW, did you size down on that one ?  Momo's tight straight cut is really slim at the hip and tight area.
*
no i went TTS with that 0705SP....anyway now awaiting some confirmation from emails / PM....from several respected MOMO hardcore about sizing cuts etc.

i have narrow down my selection from 3 to 2. Now In dilemma over 0905SP and 1005SP, but so far i think i might wanna go for 1005SP coz the sizing and cuts closely same with my IH 634S (which is my fav cuts now), 0905 a bit Wider and Loose based on several pic i saw.

it's not about shrinkage or anything...it's more of the ritual of presenting the water to the fabric so it will open up more and will help in the fading later and will make the fabric more durable...i do this with all of my raw (sanforized and unsanforized)...even the greak kiya of selfedge does the same and he does this with his fave pair, which is the IH 634s (not the 634sr)
*
i c...i never really soak mine if its a washed or sanforized. I only soak it if its raw and stf type.......

kinda coz i ask few question about sizing and which cut before deciding on 634S... if not mistaken the cut something like Momo 0705....like me, confirm cant fit it due to the small thigh size hehe.....i need min 13 inch and above....

anyway someone selling NEW without TAG 634 XHS W34 ( if not mistaken thats your size right) for USD 400 shipped....great price coz retail USD 480....i want to grab it but the current remaining denim fund is reserved for Samurai S5000VX 21 oz or S0150XX 21 oz....unless someone bought my redmoon wallet hehehe.....


Added on February 26, 2012, 7:22 pmguys beside imperials....pls also check out Ande Whall http://andewhall.bigcartel.com/ from New Zealand....the denim if not mistaken from Okayama Japan.....great details too.....

I think after the 2011 budget that was announced in 2010, clothing items are not taxed anymore.

I was taxed a substantial amount for buying APC from its official site in 2010, but my jeans and other clothing item bought in 2011 was not taxed. Just sharing.
*
hmm...no such thing...tax charges is based on luck..on lucky day it went thru...not so lucky they will imposed 10% tax of FOB..normally anything above rm500 is taxable except certain item such as watches, computer parts etc....

best way is to ask your seller to mark down the item value....

Wah...has good experience with fed-ex. But i just wanna check it my total order about rm2k, will there any tax on this? Last time i ordered something was back in 2009 and was taxed about 30% of total invoice. And using Fed-Ex they will do the clearance which im not prefer when custom detained the parcel cos Fed-Ex will pay on your behalf without nego with custom and if you do self clearing still can nego with custom..
*
thats not much...i was once order 1 red wing and 2 pair of jeans in one shipment total about RM3K from Cultizm....what i did is simple...when purchasing leave a note and ask them to mark down the value of the item...anyway again its based on luck...normally custom wont open fedex shipment....coz fedex pre declare the item including the price for easy processing/releasing shipment from custom...u will get tax when u see your item in transit in koeln then suddenly appear sepang or malaysia name before it transit to paris hehe....

i know coz i kena once (my first order with them way back in 2009 if not mistaken)...damn...no choice have to pay fedex and fedex doesnt nego for you instead u pay full amount...calculation tax for fedex is simple...its item value plus shipment cost...let say total shipment value is RM800 after conversion from foreign currency to local RM etc then tax is RM80. Also bear in mind custom doesnt follow bank negara rate conversion...so expect it to be higher by few RM....

if u still scared...split the shipment since they offer free shipping when value worth USD150 and above....

i bought lotsa stuff from cultizm (maybe another reason why i won the redmoon wallet hahaha)....last purchase from them is 2 adidas x ransom shoe and nudie hank ray orange dry selvage (in nov or dec 2011 if not mistaken)....send in one shipment...also no tax hehe....

@chuakz..

why dont you guys do some research and find out what you want instead of asking ppl for suggestions..

you didnt state what fit you looking for, what colour, budget etc.. just check back last 1-2 pages, and you can find out what i gave for sizing advice..god....
*
agreed pls do a thorough research....only if ur confuse then ask question but make sure u have all the qs ready such as measurement, cutting, post and pre soak sizing etc.

again like me i spend at least few weeks sometimes month of research before i made my purchase...now doing some research on Samurai S500VX 21 oz or Samurai S510XX 21 oz....
