HIROSHI KATO

The Pen Slim - Black Raw 14oz Selvedge

$248.00

Our premium denim is inspired by the classic vintage blue jean. Our Premium Japanese 4-Way Stretch Selvedge denim story starts in Japan where our fabric is developed at one of the oldest denim mills. We blend a unique 4 way stretch material with selvedge denim to create a specific amount of stretch and comfort you wouldn’t typically get with selvedge denim. This 360 degree of stretch gives the wearer comfort from every angle no matter what they are doing.

Our 4-Way Stretch selvedge fabric is weaved using vintage shuttle looms. Rolls of denim fabric are then brought into our workshop in Los Angeles where each pair goes through a 60 to 90 day process of cut, sew, washing and testing. With 4 fits available in multiple weights (see fit guide) and washes, the style options are endless.

• 96% COTTON 4% POLYURETHANE

• Made in USA

One of my Favorite Jeans

I’m 6’1 179lbs, I found that the size 32 fits perfect with my weight range of 175-183 lbs, the build quality is excellent and super comfortable, these are one of my favorite jeans for almost every occasion, I also own a pair in tan which have become one of my favorites for summer, great job Hiroshima Kato.

Thank you for your kind words, Timothy! We're glad you're happy with the quality and fit of the Pen Slim - Black Raw 14oz Selvedge. We hope you'll continue to enjoy them.

Great construction - terrible lint magnet

These jeans have all the hallmarks of great build quality, but unfortunately they attract a TON of lint/fuzz. As much as I wanted to keep them, I couldn’t imagine dealing with lint rolling my jeans constantly in order to wear them. I have other black denim that wear perfectly without any lint attraction issues.

Hi Aaron

We are sorry that you had a big concern about the lint with the jeans.
The returned pair passed our qc, which means we were not able to find a big issue on the pair. I shared your feedback with our production team for our future reference.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best I've Worn; Fantastic Quality

I am new to the raw-selvedge game generally. My only prior experience was with Levi's Made and Crafted. While I really like those too, these are much nicer and are at similar price points. The fabric is must more substantial, and I really like that I can slide the belt through the patch. The stretch on these is great because it allows for comfort and range of movement without taking away the feel of traditional denim.

The but is quite slim, but then again, I'm a few pounds heavy right now. I imagine I'll drop a few pounds after getting back to my ordinary routine after the holidays, and they'll stretch out a bit. Either way, I still feel good when I wear these.

Hi Johan, thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review, we appreciate it!
We hope you continue enjoying our Pen Slim style.
Happy Holidays!
