HIROSHI KATO

The Pen Slim - Indigo Black Raw 14oz Selvedge

$238.00

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.

Amazing Denim!

This is my second pair of Kato brand selvedge denim. They fit perfectly. I like that these are a more modern, slimmer fit than other selvedge options. The leg opening is slim but not tight. The waist is right on. I wear a 34 in other brands and the 34 fit just right. They do stretch out after a couple of wears but that's nothing out of the ordinary. The 14oz has a nice weight to it but not too heavy for an everyday wear. The black warp and indigo weft make this a unique, dark blue color. I've received complements and been asked many times where I got them. My back pockets have started to fade and it's a nice, dark indigo color. I also have the Indigo Raw Pen Slim. I switch between both pairs for my daily wear. I highly recommend these to anyone looking. Money well spent.

Fit great, look great. I like the extra bag they come with, which I assume is to protect my other clothes from passive bleeding.

Thank you for your review, Jonathan!

Amazing

These are my 5th pair from Kato in my collection. As always the fit and quality are spot on. However, this specific pair, the indigo black raw, really steal the show. Super dark and clean. Just the right stiffness. Definitely checks the box for this style.

Hi Matthew, thank you for your review and the continued support, we appreciate you!
We hope to continue meeting your expectations.

Slightly Tighter

I found that the raws tend to run slightly tighter than their non-raws. I have black x black raw and a keith(?) as well all in the same weight, fit and size. The raws def. Run a teensy bit tighter but still the same solid construction

Hi Seung, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Raw denim will be tight/stiff at first, once you continue to wear them, they will start loosening up and achieve a comfortable everyday jean.
