The Friday Find: Hiroshi Kato Is Making Some of the Finest, Best Blue Jeans for Men (And More!) on the Market Right Now

Does it ever seem like the market for men’s blue jeans is a bit crowded at times? Perhaps — from classic denim producers to department stores and high-fashion brands — but that makes it all the more special when a company cuts through the clutter and stands above the rest (head and shoulders, one might say!) when it comes to delivering the best selvedge jeans for men (and more!).

Find your new favorite blue jeans for men here

That’s the idea at the root of the Friday Find series, as we say – diving into brands that might fly under the radar from time to time, but are every bit as worthy of a coveted spot in your wardrobe as your tried-and-true favorites. And if you’re a denimhead, you very well likely know the stellar denim and menswear producers at Hiroshi Kato. If not? This Friday is as prime a time as any to dive into your new favorite pair of blue jeans.

Over the past few weeks or so, I’ve had the chance to step into a standout pair of Hiroshi Kato men’s denim, a cult favorite offering that I’d heard about frequently from in-the-know menswear fans and lovers of the best denim for men all across the board. So when the folks at Hiroshi Kato reached out about testing out a pair of finely crafted selvedge denim, I certainly had to take ’em up on that offer — how could you not, ehh?

Of course, I’ve written a Hiroshi Kato men’s denim review over at WERD.com, but this one was a chance every bit as special to trot out some of the coolest men’s blue jeans all around Brooklyn (as you might have seen on my Instagram!).

For my latest men’s denim review and another foray into the world of Hiroshi Kato selvedge denim, I selected a pair of the Scissors Slim Tapered, crafted from rich, durable yet supple 10.5 Ace selvedge. As the good folks at the USA-made denim producer say, these handsome and rugged yet versatile jeans rely on “vintage fade Indigo Japanese 10.5oz 4-way stretch selvedge,” finished off with eye-catching details like a custom back hip leather patch and the company’s custom-branded hardware.

Best blue jeans for men.

Denim from my friends at Hiroshi Kato is a sight to behold and even better to wear — utterly classic, remarkably well-designed, made to get better over time and offered in a wide variety of washes, fits and styles. There’s an almost stunning array of men’s blue jeans on offer at Hiroshi Kato, as I’ve found out over the years — and I’ve got plenty more to dive into from one of the best men’s blue jean producers on the market. Your next pair of hard-working selvedge awaits, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: You’re Going to Want to Stock Up on New Mott and Bow Heavyweight Tees This Spring

When we talk about a menswear essential like the best jeans for men, it often follows that the best complementary pieces can prove mighty important as well, right? There’s a reason the “jeans and a T-shirt” pairing has earned its rightful place in the menswear lexicon: It’s casually rugged, it’s comfortable without being sloppy, it’s the choice of rock stars and iconoclast style icons and hard-working fellas the land over.

And when done the right way — when done by a brand that excels in both categories, like Mott and Bow — it can change the way you approach dressing for spring, summer and beyond.

Learn more now online at Mott and Bow

New York City-based Mott and Bow has, across the past dozen years, done a standout job at how guys (and gals!) shop for and buy denim online, using high-quality denim fabrication, helpful fits and easy exchange policy and a growing roster of supporting menswear staples — like one of the best heavyweight T-shirts for men as shown above.

Yes, you very well might know the brand for its exceptionally well-fitting, affordably priced denim (for the designer-level quality, at least in my experience), and Mott and Bow has expanded across the years into super-soft, durable hoodies, sweatpants, polos, T-shirts, underwear and even travel pants and chinos.

And the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee lineup is the latest marker of quality from the fast-selling direct-to-consumer denim brand (perhaps you’ve even seen their ads on TV and across social media as of late, ehh?).

If you haven’t yet taken the plunge with a pair of Mott and Bow denim, check out my Mott and Bow reviews here on this blog — and of course, consider starting things off simply by picking up the hard-wearing Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee — in my own trials wearing these tees across the past few weeks, I’ve found the fit impeccable and the fabric supple but substantial. Could the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee be my new favorite T-shirt? Ladies and gentlemen, that’s certainly a possibility.

Made from durable yet soft cotton jersey fabric with a heavier-weight construction, this tee takes its cues from workwear, featuring a slightly relaxed but not too oversized fit (a size XL in the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee fits my frame nicely, with room to move rather than a restrictive fit). The hem is cut slightly longer without proving too baggy, while the garment-washed fabric is already getting softer with each wear, at least in my experience.

As with other Mott and Bow menswear staples, you can find the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee in a solo set, a 3-pack trio or a 6-pack offering, giving you stylish, rugged options multiple days of the week in your T-shirt rotation.

Colors like Vintage Pewter and Vintage Taupe, plus shades of grey and charcoal, deliver the ultimate in casual versatility when it comes to the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee – it’s everything you’ve come to expect in terms of quality Mott and Bow construction, but in T-shirt form. Your next casual #OOTD just got a leg up, thanks to your favorite denim brand.

The Thursday Buy: Go Casually Rugged with these New Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Jeans

It’s something we often talk about here on this menswear blog — the idea that a guy’s wardrobe should have plenty of classic selections for the utmost in versatility, from crisp and dressy selections like a classic cotton blazer or an Oxford shirt, right on down to more casually rugged picks like a pair of the best jeans for men. As someone who tends to wear denim just about every day, they’re a downright essential made to be dressed up slightly or styled in expert casual fashion.

And while some brands tend to cut corners, I’d wager that the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder have the proper formula perfected when it comes to casually rugged style, and that’s very likely an understatement if ever you’ve shopped the fan-favorite Americana retailer’s assortment, including in-house brands like F&T.

In my book, the new Flint and Tinder Spring 2026 Collection, with a heavy dose of Americana and military influence, knocks it out of the park in that regard. Yes indeed, if you want fresh denim aplenty in utterly classic construction, a pair that harkens back to old-school denim, then the new Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim should deliver the hard-wearing style you seek.

Here’s what you’re getting with the handsome new Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim, alongside other durable military-inspired and throwback staples given new life in the company’s latest collection. The Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim starts with pre-washed 13.5oz 100% cotton selvedge denim for a sense of sturdiness and yet durable wearability, while the fabric itself is woven on antique looms for extra attention to detail.

And speaking of that attention to detail: The company left no stone unturned with these Huckberry-exclusive jeans (the brainchild of Huckberry Design Director Nick Kemp). The rugged Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim boast dependable copper rivets and bar tack stitching at key stress points for the longevity you need from your favorite blue jeans, while the Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim are finished with custom Flint and Tinder hardware and a custom back suede logo patch for the ultimate in authenticity.

Like other standout pairs of Flint and Tinder blue jeans, the Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim should feature a positively outstanding fit (in this case, it’s Huckberry’s Athletic Straight Fit).

The Medium Wash pair should prove particularly appealing and stylish when worn with a waxed trucker jacket and a classic pocket tee, although I’d be willing to bet you can easily wear the Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim with an Oxford shirt and leather chukka boots for easygoing-yet-polished daily style. When the time comes to select and style a new favorite pair of jeans this season, make sure the Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim are the ones you’re rocking.

The Sunday Sale: These Gustin Selvedge Jeans Are Every Bit as Good as Advertised, at a Fraction of the Price

There are certain menswear staples that, if you ask me, are assuredly worth the investment, and a pair of the best blue jeans for men certainly qualifies. There are also levels to that investment, as with any grea style must-have.

While some jeans are more affordable and made with a blend of traditional cotton denim and modern stretch fabric, others are made from what you might call “the good stuff,” a truly out-of-this-world fabrication known as selvedge denim.

And my friends, the good folks at Gustin make some of the best selvedge denim on the market, and they do so at a fraction of the price compared to other high-end men’s blue jean companies.

The Friday Find: 3sixteen’s Classic Straight Selvedge Jeans Are some of the Finest On the Market

Selvedge denim can seem like a bit much if you haven’t explored the world of unwashed denim made from thick cotton fabric. There’s an entire community out there that goes wild for selvedge denim, often fashioned from rich denim fabric hailing from Japan. And since this is the Friday Find, where we dive into one standout item that might have flown under your radar, let’s take a look at 3sixteen, shall we?

Find out more now at 3sixteen

For those not familiar, 3sixteen’s New York City roots are rather uncanny: The brand produces some of the best jeans for men with an intensity and quality that’s hard to find in the big city at times (you might more often find it out West, as in Los Angeles, a city known for its denim and durable production methods).

But that means each wearing experience featuring 3sixteen selvedge denim is remarkable and rather special, at least in my experience.

Its carefully curated lineup of some of the finest selvedge denim on the market is hard to beat, including the 3sixteen CS-101X, a classic pair of straight-leg selvedge that will mold to your body, develop beautiful fades and wear as reliably with a thermal henley as with an Oxford shirt and a lightweight navy cotton blazer. How’s that for jeans you can really count on?

The adage that they don’t make ’em like they used to doesn’t quite apply to durable denim like the 3sixteen CS-101X, which uses a custom and multi-season raw 12oz selvedge denim from Japan’s Kuroki Mills. The end result is a beautifully rich shade of blue with all the classic selvedge detailing you might want, including a vintage-inspired fit that features a slight taper and a higher rise. Utterly classic is a phrase that comes to mind with the hard-wearing, stylish and positively versatile 3sixteen CS-101X.

And because selvedge denim can feel intimidating at first, with its stiff wash and deep blue, unfaded finish, a pair with a classic straight-leg cut like the 3sixteen CS-101X can make them feel more approachable, more wearable, more dependable.

Those qualities make them more like your favorite pair of garment-washed, lovingly faded jeans — which are also an important part of a man’s everyday casual wardrobe, at least in my experience.

Shop men’s selvedge denim and more at 3sixteen

In fact, these 3sixteen men’s jeans are even given a light rinse to ease up on the stiffness that can sometimes follow with the best selvedge jeans for men — not bad at all, right? Finished with a tan roughout leather back hip patch and branded gunmetal YKK rivets, each and every detail has been properly accounted for with this exceptional pair.

Suffice to say, if you’ve been searching for a way to get into selvedge denim ahead of fall, then I’d wager the 3sixteen CS-101X are as fine an introduction to the category as any.

Boasting a fit that’s more tapered than other pairs of Triple Aught Design pants (if you’ve had the chance to try the adventure-minded San Francisco brand), the Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans are made from thick yet supple Mt. Vernon raw denim and finished with double and triple-needle top stitching in handsome contrasting gold thread.

Angled hand pockets are offset by two coin pockets for small items in your everyday carry, while the Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans feature durable, custom hardware and a slim, tailored fit (they wear well with everything from chukka boots to high-top sneakers and even moc toe boots, in my experience). They’ve already begun to develop a handsome patina all their own, and here’s the real kicker: The Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans are on sale right now for about 20 percent off. That’s your new favorite pair of blue jeans, all sorted out nicely.
