Hiroshi Kato The Hammer Straight - 70s Blue Raw 14oz Selvedge

Medium-rise straight cut and a slight taper through the leg. Green-Gray Cast Raw Japanese 14oz 4-WAY STRETCH SELVEDGE®, zip fly, premium leather patch, and custom-branded hardware. Made in USA.

A raw denim inspired by 70s color tones—indigo with a distinct green-gray cast. Finished with a purple selvedge ID for a subtle note of individuality. This denim will eventually fade to a low-contrast vintage fade, unique to each wearer. Available in both The Pen Slim and The Hammer Straight.

Nick Noguchi had a vision: to make the world's most comfortable stretch denim with the look and durability of vintage selvedge. After years of development, we were able to create this amazing 4-Way Stretch Selvedge.

What is 4-Way Stretch? Typical stretch denim only expands horizontally; our 4-Way Stretch Selvedge stretches both horizontally and vertically. This unique flexibility in the fabric ensures comfort that adapts to your movements. Kato 4-way Stretch Selvedge is crafted on vintage shuttle looms at our Japanese Mill. This authentic selvedge denim not only promises unparalleled comfort but also outlasts traditional stretch, maintaining its shape and resisting bagging over time.

96% Cotton 4% Polyurethane

Model is 6'3" and wearing a size 32.

Raw denim has up to 2% shrinkage while it would be 1% for washed denim after wash but they will also stretch out again by being worn over time.

Wear as long as possible before the first wash for high-contrast fades. Hand wash cold with minimal soap or mild detergent (see ourdenim wash and spray). If machine washing, turn inside out, wash separately, and use a light spin.Hang dry only. Do not use a dryer.
