HIROSHI KATO

The Scissors Slim tapered- Indigo Raw 10.5oz Selvedge

$219.00

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.

• Slim Tapered Fit

• Indigo Raw 10.5oz

• 96% COTTON, 4% POLYURETHANE

• Made in USA

• 4-Way stretch selvedge denim

• Model is 6'2" and wearing a size 32.

Best jeans that I found for Fit, Quality, and Color.

I've been searching for the right pair of jeans that represent the perfect fit for me and color. I like them better the Raleigh Denim and all that other high quality denim companies that I have purchased, owned, and tried. Hiroshi nailed the fit, color, and fit. I have 4 pairs of these Scissors Slim Tapered- Indigo Raw 10.5oz Selvedge. On top of it all, Hiroshi Kato let's you select to get them hemmed which is a great service and they are fast and the jeans hemmed perfectly to pair with my Red Wing Heritage Boots. I've gone through a few tailors in town and none of them could get it right. Best jeans I've owned. Thank you Hiroshi. Well done.

Nice jeans, slim indeed.

Materials and construction are nice. These do indeed have a slim fit. They were just too tight in the seat and thigh for me, and I had to return them. I'm 6'0" and 175 lb and wear 32x32 as my go-to size. I have a rather slim build naturally, but I do squat and lift some weights. If you're like me these likely won't fit you, and you need an athletic fit. I really wish Hiroshi Kato would make an athletic fit tapered jean. Until they do, I have to search elsewhere.

Thank you for the review, Jordan! Our designer recommends a tight fit for raw jeans as they will gradually conform to your body shape. We hope you can give us another try in the future.

Finally a great fitting pair of jeans

After trying other direct to consumer brands and even having a pair of jeans custom made (mistake), I was super happy with my Hiroshi Kato purchase. As soon as I put these on they felt instantly comfortable - which is surprising for new selvage denim, but the small amount of stretch makes a huge difference. I like the fit of the scissors and have ordered a few different washes as these are my go-to work/out to dinner jeans. I wanted to like the pen slim cut but found the rise/crotch to be too high/tight so stuck with the scissors. The jeans did stretch out/loose up a little after wearing a few times - nothing crazy, but if you're in-between sizes like me, would suggest sizing down in the waist.

Thank you for your review, William! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our The Scissors Slim Tapered fit. We appreciate your continued support.

Love the stretch

I wore these on my recent trip to Europe. I love the 4-stretch on long distance flights, trains and buses rides. The fit is perfect. After daily wear for 3 weeks straight on the road the jeans exceeded my expectations. I will be purchasing another pair in a different color just to change things up little. Great job Kato!!!

Thank you for the great review, Trung! We're so glad you love the fit of these jeans. We hope to continue meeting your expectations.

No brainer

I got these jeans and now the only problem is I want every color. Unreal quality and comfort. If you are deciding whether they are worth it, I’ll decide for you… just get them and you won’t regret the purchase.

Thank you for the kind words Morrison! We're so glad you love our jeans - they're definitely a no-brainer purchase!
