HIROSHI KATO

The Scissors Slim tapered - Bette Air 11.5oz Selvedge

$268.00
SKU 3015-446-01-29

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.

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.
