Featuring the heaviest version of the new Loose Weave Plaid, this 13oz fabric carefully walks the line between shirt and jacket. The bold plaid pattern and loose weave is reminiscent of fabrics popular in the 1970s. “The Anvil” is that piece you took from the closet of your dad's RV and doesn’t miss a beat in your daily rotation.

We meticulously craft “The Anvil” Shirt Jacket using a 3D pattern. Usually, tops are cut from two-dimensional patterns. With these 2D patterns, the front is sewn directly to the back. “The Anvil” Shirt Jacket introduces side panels as the third dimension, allowing more control over the shape of the garment. This result is a garment with an impeccable fit. As always, “The Anvil” Shirt Jacket features vintage-style rounded chest and hand warmer pockets, cat-eye buttons, and Nylon lined cuffs.

Inspired by classic garments, KATO focuses on combining the modern need for comfort with the love for vintage pieces. Taking inspiration from hardware, stitching and even machinery used and blending it with innovative blends of fabric and new fits, KATO is dedicated to creating timeless pieces that you’ll hold on to for years. We’ve developed signature materials like our 4 Way Stretch that consists of combining traditional Japanese denim and a 4 Way Stretch material allowing us to create the most comfortable pair of selvedge jeans from day one of wearing them. That innovation also led KATO to develop Denit®, a new knit material that looks like denim but essentially feels like loungewear giving you comfort and style wherever you go. Our garments are inspired by classic menswear designs that have stood the test of time with fashion for decades. Our goal is to produce pieces that you’ll be wearing for years to come by combining our passion for vintage menswear with the modern need for comfort.
