Giveaway: Enter to Win $1,000 Worth of Iconic Pieces from KATO
KATO first popped up on our radar a few years back when we first got a look at one of their Ripper Flannels. Each season since then, they’ve piled one noteworthy release on top of another, winning new fans and followers at every turn.
Their 17 oz. Mammoth Four-Way Stretch Selvedge (which we’ve reviewed here) is arguably the best and most-dependable heavyweight stretch selvedge on the market, and their stable is chock full of rip-snorting denim, sashiko, Melton wool, and moleskin jackets and overshirts.
As well as anybody, KATO have proven themselves to be a kind of one-stop-shop for those looking for their particular brand of smart casual or elevated rugged. If the style speaks to you, this is a can’t-miss giveaway.
The giveaway is a complete starter kit for those looking for a style overhaul or upgrade.
It includes a pair of their 14 oz. Four-Way Stretch selvedge jeans, a Brace Diamond Plaid Shirt, an Anvil Birds Eye Sashiko Shirt Jacket, and a denim wash and spray kit to help keep the raw denim pieces smelling fresh. All told, they’re giving away nearly $1,000 worth of gear.
14 oz. Four-Way Stretch Selvedge Jeans
This is the denim that really got the ball rolling for KATO. The 14 oz. Four-Way Stretch Selvedge features stretch yarns woven into both the warp and the weft, which allows for a small but noticeable amount of stretch both up and down and from side to side.
Pairs made from this denim have proven to be an excellent bridge into the world of well-made selvedge for newcomers, but, at the same time, they’ve also converted a considerable number of raw denim purists.
Equal parts comfortable and stylish, they’re an excellent weekend pair for weekend warriors or denimheads who want or need a break from stiff and heavy pairs.
Emerald Brace Diamond Plaid Shirt
With their manufacturing base planted in the American Southwest, the designers at KATO have clearly been inspired by their sun-baked surroundings.
Their flannels are far from the heaviest on the market, but that’s the point. They’re as easy wearing as they are easy on the eyes.
Their new Emerald Brace shirt is one of the most handsome colourways we’ve seen this year (and we’ve seen a lot).
Made from 100% cotton and finished with metal cat’s eye buttons, the flannel is also available in Ruby and Sapphire, but the earthy Emerald colourway is our favourite.
Anvil Birds Eye Sashiko Jacket
We recently got a sneak peek at KATO’s new collection, and this 10 oz. sashiko leapt out at us. With strong potential to be a signature fabric for KATO going forward, it oozes charm from every little stab.
The Anvil Shirt Jacket has been a popular favourite for quite a while, but it’s never looked quite this good. With curved chest pockets and patch pockets at the hip, it’s equal parts rugged and elegant, and it’ll just get better the more you wear it.
Bonus: Denim Wash and Spray Kit
The good people at KATO understand that raw denim is meant to be worn for as long as possible between washes. To help extend that period, they’ve provided a Denim Linen Spray that helps freshen up denim (it can also be used on bedding and other fabrics).
Of course, this only delays the inevitable. When your jeans need the full wash, treat them to this French denim soap, formulated specifically for dark indigo tones. It’s tough enough to remove set-in stains, but your denim will come out of the wash feeling surprisingly soft and supple.
