A remarkable pair of American-made jeans that’s built for a supremely long haul
When given the right treatment and made with the right amount of care, a pair of jeans should last nearly a lifetime, developing a nice, personal fit that makes every day better than the last. KATO’ takes this old-school philosophy to new heights thanks to their dedication to quality and time-honored tradition—we have plenty of denim-heads in the HB office, and their Pen Slim jeans won a resounding “woah” from all of them. Though each pair is handmade in Los Angeles, KATO’ uses a premium, 14 oz Japanese selvedge denim that’s built with four-way, 360° stretch. Get why the denim-heads nearly lost their marbles?
- Built from a premium Japanese selvedge denim that’s notorious for quality and durability
- Added four-way stretch for full range of motion
- 360° and multi-directional comfort stretch technology
- Classic five-pocket construction includes a selvedge coin pocket
- Zipper fly
- Leather KATO’ patch sewn onto the back
- Breaks in nicely to develop a personal fit over time
- Made in Los Angeles
- 96% cotton
- 4% polyurethane
- The Pen has a slim fit that's true to size, take your normal waist size
- Since raw denim will break in and stretch over time, the best initial fit is a little snug
- Keep in mind that raw denim and heavier styles feel tighter
- Expect these to reduce roughly 3 - 5% throughout the jean after the first wash and dry
