Description

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.

Perfect! Amazing fit and quality. Chain stitching was also perfect. 10.5 ounce feels more substantial than the number. Love this fit. Third pair! They pair great with a button down in the workplace. Thank you!

Better than the photos.

I’m so impressed by the Needle fit. It’s been extremely difficult to find high quality skinny fit raw denim and KATO has crafted some magic here. I’m 5’9 / 170lbs and the 32 fit absolutely perfect. I’m definitely going to grab another pair. I highly recommended the Needle if your taste is skinny fit. These are my new favorite jeans I own.

Nice jeans but……

Let me start with saying these jeans are very comfortable to wear. Stretch denim isn’t usually my first choice but these have changed my opinion. I’ve received many compliments & the quality seems to be what I’d expect from jeans at this price point the only issue I have is the size or lack of smaller sizes. I ordered a 29 and would have much rather have had an option of a 28 or 27. I decided to keep the 29 and just deal with the extra room but you guys should make your jeans in smaller sizes 26-28 for us tall skinny guys.

Hi Alwin,

Thank you for your kind comment. We apologize for not carrying sufficient inventory in smaller sizes such as 28 or larger sizes such as 40. Your request will help us estimate the demand for these sizes. It has been shared with our team.

Best,
