Quality Analysis 90/100
This denim boasts excellent durability indicators, starting with a substantial 14oz sanforized Japanese selvedge fabric, which is inherently robust. Further reinforcing its longevity are the quality YKK zipper fly and the fact that it is Made in USA, often associated with higher manufacturing standards.
Comfort Assessment 90/100
These jeans offer exceptional comfort thanks to the proprietary 4-way stretch fabric, which ensures a full range of movement, and the in-house washing process that replicates the soft, worn-in feel of a well-loved pair.
Sustainability Impact Not Available
This garment lacks specific sustainability indicators, such as certified organic or recycled materials, making it impossible to assign a score based on environmental or ethical claims. The default score of 101 is applied because no evidence is present.

Garment details
Need-to-know info pulled from the retailer’s description, sizing notes, and care callouts.
The "Rick" washed stretch denim from Hiroshi Kato transforms the brand’s signature Japanese stretch selvedge through a vintage black fade wash. Built using a proprietary 4-way stretch fabric, the jeans allow for full range of movement while maintaining the durability and fading characteristics of raw denim. Originally a raw black fabric, each pair is washed in-house at Hiroshi Kato’s flagship Los Angeles facility to replicate the worn-in look and feel of a well-loved pair. Cut in a classic five-pocket silhouette, the jeans are finished with a custom-branded leather patch, exposed selvedge coin pocket, and YKK zipper fly—all assembled in Los Angeles.
