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.

Because our 10oz denim represents a modern denim fabric, we paired it with a higher contrast fade for the Ace, to emulate the type of fades you see on modern Japanese jeans. The Ace wash having the highest contrast and most defined creasing of all of our aged denim washes.

• 96% COTTON 4% POLYURETHANE

Just a bit too much whiskering/distressing

This would have been my third pair of Hiroshi Kato jeans, but my first pair in washed denim. My other three are all 10.5 oz. denim in raw -- and I really do like them as they're quite crisp and look great with a dress shirt for casual Friday, etc.

With those three taken care of, I thought it was time for something a bit more "relaxed," for a lack of a better term, and the "Ace" wash seemed to be it. Unfortunately, the whiskering/distressing was just a bit too much for me when I saw them in person vs. the pictures online. If they were about 25% less than what they were, I would have kept them without a doubt -- especially since the denim felt so good! It wasn't a "thinner" denim, but had a thicker feel while still having substantial give/stretch. I just used the filters to sort out all 10.5 oz. washed denim in the "Pen" fit, and there are only three... aside from the "Ace," none of the other two appeal to me whatsoever.

Going up to a 14 oz. compared to the 10.5 oz that I REALLY like, might just be a bit too much.

I'll give these 3 stars based on my comments above. 5 stars for the denim weight and feel!
