HIROSHI KATO

The Scissors Slim Tapered - Indigo Raw 14oz Selvedge

$228.00

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

• 96% Cotton 4% Polyurethane

• Indigo Raw 14oz

• 4way stretch selvedge denim

• Made in USA

• The model in the first picture is 6' and wearing a size 32.

The Indigo Raw 14oz was my third jean purchase from Hiroshi Kato. Another great pair to add to my HK collection. Dark blue with light cuff is what I was looking for and the 4 way stretch always allows the jeans to feel comfortable to wear straight out of the box! Another home run!!

Thank you for the great review, Adrian! We're happy to hear that you're enjoying the Scissors Slim Tapered - Indigo Raw 14oz Selvedge.

Best jeans, great customer service

These are the best jeans I've ever owned. The slight stretch gives the perfect fit. I'm 6'2", 190 lbs, with large thighs, so that bit of stretch in the 33" makes a huge difference. I love the indigo raw in 14 oz because they are super versatile for a range of outfits. I wear them with a blazer and button-down for work meetings. I pair them with a flannel or bulky sweater and boots for weekends in the mountains.

I had to do an exchange to get the size just right, and the customer service was super responsive and easy. I'm a loyal customer for life.

Thank you for your positive review of our jeans, Rick! We're glad you're happy with them and we appreciate your feedback.

Near perfect

This is my fifth pair of Hiroshi Kato denim (second raw pair), but my first foray into the Scissors/slim tapered fit. I really like the Pen as a daily driver and in nearly every wash (except the raw) I wear a 32" (I'm 6'2", 185). For certain looks/outfits, though I wanted something with a slightly narrower cut from the knee down and just a tad smaller leg opening. This wash and cut nail those perfectly, but I always size down (usually only 1 size) with raw denim and I'm glad I did with this pair. Even though the first several wears are tighter than normal (which is, well, normal for raw denim), the embedded stretch makes it completely manageable. Dare I say comfortable? And this is coming from someone who has larger thighs and calves (college athlete and runner). Win!

Hi Paul, thank you for the great review! We're glad you're happy with the fit of the Scissors Slim Tapered, as well as the Pen fit. We hope you continue enjoying our brand!

Great jeans

Big fan. First pair was the lighter weight jeans and then ordered these after confirming the fit. Most selvedge jeans come in odd sizes. These work perfectly for me without extra tailoring. Super comfortable and look forward to the fades over time.

Hi CG, thank you for the great review.

The Best Quality Jeans

I am fascinated with these jeans, they are of excellent quality with a precise cut that shows a detailed workmanship, they are precise as described, not like others that give a size and in the end it is not what they specify. I think I will continue with this brand and I will continue to support quality manufacturing in the USA.

Thank you for the great review. We appreciate your support!
