Kato’s respect for denim is rooted in decades of exploration and craftsmanship. Drawing from years of research and hands-on experience, we’ve recreated the distinct character of the most coveted denim from the 1950s to 1970s. Each fabric is crafted with precision to mirror the uniform texture and authentic fade patterns found in the vintage pieces preserved in the Kato archives—an homage to denim’s golden era, reimagined for today.

The Pen Slim in Marble is a 14 oz 4 way stretch selvedge bleached down to a stark gray-white that feels raw and refined all at once. The black selvedge ID adds a sharp contrast.
