I presume you're talking about the 0702 Stormowl? Interesting because after writing the previous post I got the ER007-2B and had exactly the same issue you're describing. To be honest, I've kinda given up on them for now because the top block wasn't stretching like I hoped it would. I'll keep 'em in the background in case I lose a bit of weight at some point.
So for any other prospective buyers, I second the idea of sizing up with either of these models, unless you love pain.

Coming along nicely. Momotaro denim and construction look absolutely top-notch.

Looking nice. I've been wearing on-and-off my ER007-2B for a while now, but still have hardly any sign of fading. I'm starting to like them more and more, but they are definitely very stubborn jeans. It's taking a long time to beat them into shape.
Will post pictures when we finally get some decent weather here.

Lately i've took interest in the Blue Owl and Momotaro collection "Momotaro x Blue Owl "Midnight Warrior" Skinny Straight 15.7oz Raw Selvedge - Model BOM001"
http://blueowl.us/scripts/psp/VB_Bridge3.dll?VBPROG=\bin\shop.prodt.detail&SKU=7932000
Does anybody had experience with this or thoughts?

Just received a 0201 in W 31, used, from a Dutch guy from another forum. Awesome jeans, love the fit & feel.
-
Any experience with Japan Blue by momotaro? good quality construction? the names are the same than Momos, 0201, 0701 etc. are they the same fit?
Cheers
-
Different denim, different fits (slimmer & more fashionable, I believe), supposedly same quality. I have no experience with the line personally, so I can't say for certain.
-
Japan Blue is a separate line from Rampuya & Co rather than a product of Momotaro. There's a lot of info in the Momo thread on SuFu explaining the difference that is worth a read. Overall, my feeling is that Momotaro didn't do a very good job of differentiating the two lines - at the cost of Momotaro's brand identity.
-
is that the thread called "Japan Blue Momotaro" with 81 pages?

@Sugar:

Agree. In fact I think they have deliberately blurred the line between Momotaro and JB, as evidenced by the cuts which bear both names.
I have Momotaro jeans and really like them, but am still unconvinced about JB - i need to see them in real life I think.
-
I touched the JB's - and I do much prefer Momotaros classic denim. The 14,7 oz felt a bit like Nudies Selvage models.
Very true, they blurred the lines and this attracts some kids and newbies, but scares the old folk away. At least I feel that way. Plus they really pushed towards the european market, which made them less mystical than other japanese brands. Again, my opinion.
-
but , still a good quality jean? it cost 100 dollars less than momotaro
-
I would like to know if is an option to consider in that price range or ts a bad quality/waste of money jean. A good rival to 3sixteen, APC etc.
