The Scout Fatigue Short

Story

Built in the USA from supremely-soft Denit® fabric

The Scout Short is inspired by the original rugged and utilitarian ‘50s-issued military pant. Hiroshi Kato's iteration is proudly cut, sewn, and finished in the USA from super-soft Denit® fabric—which boasts a unique composition of primarily cotton, then polyester, and polyurethane to strike just the right balance of softness, durability, and stretch. Not only that, these shorts have undergone a garment-dyeing process to truly bring out their vintage character. They're cut with an 8” inseam to fall just above the knees and feature drop-in patch pockets in the front and military-button-secured pockets at the back. Pair them with your go-to white tee for a truly timeless style.

About Hiroshi Kato

Japanese selvedge jeans are collected around the world like antiques. And after years of working amongst the old-school shuttle looms at Kaihara Mills (the mecca of Japanese selvedge) KATO’s designer, Nick Takayuki, had pretty much seen the handworked denim in all its glory. Except for one thing—out of the thousands of pairs he felt, not one of them matched the comfortable stretch of some of the jeans he’d seen in America. That lit a fire under Nick that led him through prototype after prototype until he arrived at KATO’s signature garment—Japanese selvedge denim that breaks in and fades like the best of ‘em. Then, he added the comfort of 4-way stretch for good measure.
