The Hammer Straight - Indigo Raw 14oz Selvedge

Paid through the nose for these jeans expecting to not be fully satisfied - but was pleasantly surprised. Fantastic quality - super texture, great stretch. Even ran these by a jeans snob friend who was on the hunt for selvedge. Everything checks out - great jeans - and I expect to buy more in the future.

I recently purchased 2 pair of the Hammer Straight jeans in Indigo Raw 14oz Selvedge, and find these best worn cuffed with service boots. (I also own 2 pair of the Pen Slim that I like wearing with loafers). I've been wearing jeans my entire life, and I've never owned anything with the outstanding quality and perfect fit of Hiroshi Kato jeans. Worth every penny!

I’ve always wanted to get a pair of Selvedge denim jeans but never managed to find a company I wanted to buy from that seemed to offer the quality I was looking for. I then found Hitoshi Kati and cautiously bought a pair of the indigo Hammer jeans; a straight fit and when they arrived they did not fail on delivering on what I was looking for. First of all, the quality of the denim is great and the construction fantastic, though not sure how the diagonal belt loop at the back will hold up but we’ll see. The fit of the Hammer at a little large, which I think will be perfect after I was them, I’m about a 35/36 and I bough the 38. So again, we’ll see how that pans out. I’ve had them about three weeks so far and they are comfortable and fit well, even being a size over. I expect they’ll be perfect once they’ve been through a few washes and bedded in. I loved them so much I went ahead and bought another pair in the straight fit. They fit really well and I hope they don’t shrink too much because they’re a lovely fit and again the quality is great. They are the stretch fabric so they should be more forgiving.
Great company, high quality products and a fair price for such well made gear. I have taken measurements and will see how much they shrink after a few washes and perhaps report back. So far so good and I’d highly recommend sizing up.

really balked at paying more than $75 for jeans but, man, what a difference - these are beautifully made, the material is superb and they fit really, really well!

Typically wear 32 waist in jeans but these felt a bit tight, returned for 33 and waist is fine (a little loose) -but overall fit was roomier. I'll maybe try the Scissor cut next. The Hammer's feel like the old 501s which I was looking for, but the cuff's and calfs do feel a bit wider on these than the 501s. All and all a good product. Wore em in a hot shower and bath once to shrink but they didn't seem to.
