Meet Luis, The KATO Sample Sewer
Tell us a little about yourself and how you were introduced to sewing
I started early with sewing. I was curious about the construction of jeans so it was always something that interested me.
How did you learn to sew?
I taught myself, my curiosity began to grow more and more and eventually I started teaching myself. Through trial and error I really developed my craft.

Favorite sewing technique?
Using the Union Special Machine, I find it makes it much easier to use by pressing before I begin sewing.
The Union Special #1400 is a classic sewing machine used by the greatest denim makers. A traditional machine that demands plenty of upkeep and care, it is a crucial part in the construction of KATO garments.
