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.

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!

Awesome Jeans Worth the Price

Over the last few years, I have been slowly improving the quality of the clothing I wear. This fall/winter, I decided to upgrade my denim game, and I was lucky enough to stumble upon Hiroshi Kato. From ordering, to receiving, to wearing, this company and, more importantly, these jeans check every box. I'm relatively tall, coming in just under 6'2" (about 6'1.75"). I am definitely slim through the waist and lower leg, but I have an otherwise athletic shape from my waist to my knee. Stated simply, finding jeans that fit me well is a process. I used to go for Levi's 512 (Slim Taper), but I found them to be too restrictive above the knee. I can assure you that I will never go back as the Kato Brand has made me a loyal customer.

I relied heavily upon the company's size guide in deciding what size to order. Normally, I order a 31x32 in Levi's, but I highly recommend measuring your current jeans before ordering from Kato. In this brand, I'm a 29, but that comes in around a 31.5" waist, which is exactly what I need (don't assume the number associated with the size corresponds to the waist size!). For me, the size guide was spot on, and the jeans fit perfectly right out of the box. This particular jean does have a pretty long inseam across all sizes, and it's not normally the length I'd go for. That said, selvedge denim is designed to be cuffed, so that helps with the length. Additionally, I believe Kato provides this length to give their customers an opportunity for hemming to ensure a perfect fit - something that I definitely appreciate. I wore these jeans for the first time on a weekend trip that had me in numerous planes, airports, and cars. Despite being brand new raw denim (which is usually stiff and uncomfortable), these jeans moved well and were comfortable in every scenario. I've only worn them a few times, but I can already feel them forming to my body (not to mention they look stellar with a pair of boots). I was so pleasantly surprised that I ordered the Scissors in 10.5 oz Raw Black, and that pair is just as good as these.

Overall, if you're into quality products like me, I highly recommend the Kato Brand. Yes, the price is higher compared to other denim companies, but I can tell these pants are built to last, which makes them well worth the investment. Additionally, the pants have really unique yet subtle details that clearly set them apart from other companies and scream designer brand. Do not hesitate to pull the trigger on these pants - you will not be disappointed.

Hi Daniel, thank you so much for the great review and 5-Star rating, we hope to keep meeting your expectations. We truly appreciate you!

My introduction into selvedge denim. Couldn’t be happier. The 4 way stretch makes these jeans the most comfortable pair I own. Great experience with this company. Will be picking up more denim here soon!

Thank you for your review, Justin, we're glad you're enjoying our brand.
