I buy my first pair of momo (701) one month ago and honestly this is by far the most amazing pair of jeans i own .

The denim texture is crazy and it gets hairy as **** after couple of wears.

I own naked and famous and you cant compare the two. Its the Day and night. The construction the dΓ©tails and everything is just perfect.

I dont want to wear my naked and famous nomore. It felt like **** and gimmicks after you have wear a momo.

Go truth to size you be Ok. And i can garanty that they strech. Not alot but they do.

And i love the Pink inseam , so unique.

Except bom005 is sanforized


True, but this mostly effects the texture/character of the denim. Not the fabric color itself, so much.

I'm wearing sz29 Weird Guy, so I must take sz30 if I go with the MOTY01 I guess ?

seems like a pretty safe bet but i'd check out the measurements posted first. most unsanforized shrink about an inch.

the details and stitching on the bom005 make it seem so much darker than the moty01. the fit is pretty similar to weird guys, just a bit more slim since the taper starts at the upper thigh. plus the staff at blueowl are really really helpful with sizing and usually ship within minutes of placing an order.

I like the pair moty01 more but have no exp in buying an unsanforized denim, how about the thigh shrinkage, the moty01 have 12" thigh and my WG pair is 11.5" :( and one more thing, does it need a pre-soak to have the expected fit before wearing ?

Thigh shrinkage will probably be around 0.25 to 0.5 inch.

Not that I am aware of.

Call Jay at Blue Owl, if you buy a pair and they don't work, he'll happily exchange for you.
