Hiroshi Kato Japanese Selvedge Jeans: The Pen

Colour way: Grey raw Style: The Pen Size: 38 x 32. Pant leg opening: approx. 7 inches From website: 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. • 96% COTTON/4% POLYURETHANE VINTAGE INSPIRED Our foundation is rooted in classic American workwear and denim from the mid-20th century. We study original garments, fabrics, and construction details to understand what made them endure, then reinterpret them with respect and intention. The result isn’t a replica—it’s clothing that feels familiar, honest, and relevant today.
