Customer service was great and the answered all my questions regarding their raw denim. Was able to get the size and length needed. They have the option to hem with chain stitching. The denim was a perfect fit and I plan to get another pair.

Excellent fit and fabric; easy to move in, and well-cut. The deep indigo color is a real winner!

So comfortable with quality visible in every detail. Simply some of the best jeans out there. The indigo powder does shed a bit so be carful about letting them come into contact with lighter fabrics, I’d also worry about sitting on white leather with these. This is only the case with the black indigo color, lighter colors even those pretty dark which also came with a warning about color transfer did not have this issue. But the black indigo is such a nice color I’d say it’s worth it. If you’re on the fence about getting these jeans or a different brand, get the Katos. Unbeatable quality.

After owning these jeans for less than a month they began to develop loose threads. When I contacted customer support for advice about a repair or replacement, I was told there is nothing they can do. I found this to be unfriendly to both customers and the environment. Even if they can’t replace the jeans, I feel the company could offer more advice on how to get them fixed. I like the fit and feel of the jeans, and would have bought another pair. Now I’m just going to look elsewhere.

This was my first pair of Japanese Denim and I couldn’t be happier. Incredible fit, meticulous craftsmanship, and stylish. Getting a another pair of Kato’s soon!
