Good to know about Hiroshi Kato sizing
- Take your usual size. If you wear a 32, buy the 32.
- Their waistband figure is measured flat, so double it. Each pair runs about 2" above the tag.
- Raw denim stretches, so the best first fit is snug.
These are Hiroshi Kato’s own measurements, published as-is. Stuck between sizes? Message us and we’ll get you into the right size.

Description
The Barrel is Kato's classic straight and their most relaxed fit. Medium rise, the roomiest thigh they cut, then a gentle taper from a 19⅜" knee to a 16½" opening so it stays clean at the shoe. Made in the USA from Kato's 4-way stretch selvedge and slub denims; the fabric weight (12.5oz, 14oz) changes with the wash, the cut doesn't.
Pick a wash above. Every Barrel is cut the same; only the fabric and color change.
Fit specs (Kato's garment measurements, size 32)
- Front rise: 10¾"
- Thigh: 26½"
- Knee: 19⅜"
- Leg opening: 16½"
- Inseam: 33" (unhemmed)
- Compared to the rest: the roomiest Kato we carry — nearly 2" more thigh than the Hammer
Raw denim stretches with wear — Kato says buy your usual size and expect the first fit to be snug.
