Fabric & details

The Cat’s Pyjamas Selvedge is an 8.5oz Japanese selvedge denim inspired by early 20th-century workwear and 1920s reproduction fabrics. The name references period slang, when “the cat’s pyjamas ” was used to describe something exceptional, capturing the spirit of the era this fabric draws from.

Woven with a soft vintage indigo tone and a subtle beige weft, the fabric presents a warm, aged appearance that feels historically grounded rather than modern. A classic white selvedge edge reinforces its traditional construction.

While 8.5oz is considered lightweight today, early 1900s catalogs often marketed 9oz denim as “ultra heavyweight,” making this fabric a faithful interpretation of period-correct denim. Its lighter weight makes it especially suitable for spring and summer while maintaining structure and authenticity.

True to its historical reference, the fabric is finished with a reinforced paper patch rather than leather, reflecting the materials used before leather patches became standard. Tin buttons complete the reproduction-inspired detailing.

The Weird Guy is a regular tapered fit; medium rise, standard thigh and slight taper from the knee to hem.

IMPORTANT — UNSANFORIZED: This garment will shrink approximately two sizes after washing. SIZE UP TWO SIZES. Consult the size chart for pre-wash measurements and the post-wash chart before choosing your size.

Jeans are excellent. The wash is great and they are comfortable. Unfortunately I ignored the shrinkage chart for the inseam so they are quite a bit too short. I ordered a 38 for the waist and they shrank to a 34/35 with a cold water wash, no dryer. Other than my mistake the jeans awesome.

Purchasing the cats pajamas a second time was a better experience. The disclaimer of unsanforized was much appreciated, as it was unclear on the first release. I was able to size up accordingly; I picked a 34 for a 32.5-33 shrink to fit. Upon delivery I immediately took a hot bath in them to "shrink to fit". Dried them on myself while stretching, and a final outdoor dry. The jeans dried with whiskers, and honeycomb in the back with more pronounced fades to come.
I'm not a huge fan of the paper patch. The stiching feels okay, but with enough pull the patch could maybe damage? Maybe a different material for future consideration, veg tan or leather otherwise.
All and all, stoked for a light weight pair of jeans to add to the collection.

About ten wears in. These are Just like all my N&F jeans, every time I get a new pair, they become my new favorite. These are lightweight and great for summertime wear. Makes me wish I had more legs so I could wear more jeans at the same time.
