Brace Shirt - Hiroshi Kato

Classic fit. 100% cotton 7oz denim fabric, triple stitched shoulders, back and side seams, bar tacked reinforced pockets, pen pocket, cat eye buttons, chainstitch run-off on side seams. Made in USA.  We are very excited to announce a new shirt in the Kato lineup. Inspired by the classic and rugged vintage workwear shirt, The Brace is built tough but keeps the comfort you expect from Kato. We focused on the workwear details that add durability and functionality to the garment. Triple stitching on the shoulders, back and side seams and the bar tacked reinforced pockets adds unparalleled strength to this shirt. The discreet and easily accessible pen pocket gives The Brace a nice detail. The Chainstitch runoff found on the side gussets is an interesting detail and a nod to vintage shirts. Early workwear shirts were made with authentic high quality sewing machines that produced this run off effect when finished. These would usually get cut off in production, but sometimes missed.
