Japan Blue Jeans jeans: size charts & fit guide
Sister label to Momotaro, built around the mill's own selvedge fabrics.
Does Japan Blue Jeans run true to size?
Going by the published charts, Japan Blue Jeans runs large. For a 32″ waist we’d pick a tag 31 in 4 of 8 models, a size down from your waist. That aims for a waistband at your waist after the first soak: selvedge gives about an inch with wear.
| Your waist | Tag we’d pick | In |
|---|---|---|
| 30″ (76 cm) | 29 | 4 of 8 models |
| 32″ (81 cm) | 31 | 4 of 8 models |
| 34″ (86 cm) | 33 | 5 of 8 models |
| 36″ (91 cm) | 34 | 6 of 8 models |
Waists measured around your body where your jeans sit. Raw, unsanforized charts are adjusted for their first soak. Each model below shows its own pick for your waist.
