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.

• 96% COTTON 4% POLYURETHANE

Great fit but don’t liked to be washed

I have ordered several pairs of jeans from Hitoshi Kato and they all seem to fit well initially but then after washing by hand as instructed shrink considerably. The first pair I purchased were the Hammer and they did fair better than the others I purchased after washing but the scissors and Penn have shrunk enough to now be uncomfortable and a bad fit. I absolutely loved the scissors cut I purchased in raw selvedge but now they have shrunk to a point where if I wash them again I fear they’ll not fit at all. They also showed a very noticeable white line down both outside seems and it looks a little silly now too.
I even bought a size larger 38, being a 36 and that did not make much difference.
I continue to where the hammer jeans and May stick with that fit in the future if I decide to buy any more.

Not perfect but something yours

Fit: Compared to Mott and Bow and Bonobos slim fit it feels more in between slim fit and skinny fit.
Material: 10 oz is not as light as summer jeans. It is fairly structured and comfortable.I would say that it is perfect for spring and autumn. No need to break in.
Construction: Flawless.
Usage: I own 20 pairs of different pants and jeans. However, since I bought Kato I wear only them everyday.

Thank you for your review of our product, The Pen Slim - Black Raw 10.5oz Selvedge. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you find the fit to be a good balance between slim and skinny. We also agree that the material is perfect for spring and autumn. We take pride in our flawless construction and are happy to hear that you've been wearing your Kato jeans every day. Thank you for your support!

Excellent denim

I’ve been wearing the Hiroshi Kato Pen Slim denim jeans for a few months now, and they’ve quickly become my go-to pair. The slim fit is spot-on—not too tight, not too loose—and the slight stretch in the Japanese selvedge denim makes them incredibly comfortable, even for all-day wear. What really stands out is the quality; the fabric feels sturdy yet soft, and the craftsmanship is impeccable, from the clean stitching to the selvedge detailing. They’re versatile enough to dress up with a blazer or down with a T-shirt, which I really appreciate. If you’re looking for premium denim that combines classic style with modern comfort, I’d highly recommend these.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our Pen Slim denim jeans! We're thrilled to hear that they have quickly become your go-to pair and that the fit and comfort are just right for you. Our team takes great pride in the quality and craftsmanship of our denim, and we're happy to know that it has not gone unnoticed. We strive to create versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down, so we're glad to hear that you appreciate that about our jeans. Thank you for recommending them to others, we truly appreciate it!
