Heavily Textured, Lightly Worn

In the pursuit of innovation we have created our latest achievement in denim. The idea for Selvedge Air was born out of the love for old vintage denim and the need for comfort. We wanted to introduce a denim that had the look and feel of a 15oz denim but one felt light and very comfortable when worn. After a very long development process with a highly capable mill in Japan, we were finally able to make this vision a reality.

Instead of using the usual 3 X 1 weave of standard denim, we implemented a 5 x 1 weave. This creates a denim with a higher surface thread count but a lower overall thread count, making it lighter and still durable. The low tension yarns and loose denim weave contribute to the thicker look of the denim while maintaining its light feel. The overall result is a vintage textured denim that looks like heavy weight and feels like a lightweight.

• Slim Tapered Fit

• 98% COTTON/2% POLYURETHANE

Genius

Kato did it again. These jeans literally feel perfect. The color is awesome. I keep saying to myself, don’t look on the website. Every time I come on here I buy more jeans. Kato now takes up more space in my wardrobe than RRL. Which I was convinced was the best on the market. Move over Ralph Lauren…. There’s a new sheriff in town!!!

Thank you for your positive review! We're so glad to hear that you love our Scissors Slim tapered jeans. It's great to know that they feel perfect and the color is to your liking. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy our products.

Not the best Kato product

I’m a huge fan of this brand and have many pair of jeans as well as shirts. These jeans were fine when I first wore them but the materiel used for these has significantly more stretch than their other fabrics and these jeans have lost their shape after a few wears. This review is for a specific product as I have and would rate everything else I have purchased from Kato a 5. Unfortunately I didn’t wear these enough to return within the refund window.

Not 6ft 4? Not for you

3 stars because there's a lot to like about these jeans (and the company), but their jeans just don't work for anyone who is short/average height. I've tried two jeans and had to return them both for height related reasons - the wash on the first look ridiculous on me (what should have been knee creases were on my Achilles) and this pair didn't taper properly with the knee point being closer to my ankle. If they made a pair with 30 or 32 inseam they would be ideal - a real shame

Very comfortable

I started to wear Kato last year after reading an article on The NYT. I bought one to try and since then I’ve been buying a few different models. The stretchy and flexible fabric make them a very comfortable fit.

Thank you for your review, J! We hope you continue enjoying our products, we appreciate your continued support.

Tried out hemming!

This is my third pair of scissors but I love the feel of the 11.5oz the best. Looks and feels heavy but wears very comfortable and light. I also opted to hem these with the new hemming service and they look perfect.

Hey Paul, thank you for your review! We're glad you're enjoying the Scissors fit and our new hemming service.
