We set out to push the limits of softness and add a level of texture rarely seen in a double gauze fabric. The inside layer is made from the same gauze fabric used on Kato Brand’s flagship, “The Ripper” Double Gauze Shirt. The outer layer is a lightweight, textured waffle fabric that looks as soft as it feels. Kato’s Waffle Double Gauze Shirt is made from 100% cotton and has been garment dyed, so it will eventually fade and age beautifully, revealing even more character. The more you wash and wear the shirt, the softer it gets. This light, breathable shirt is the most comfortable button-up you have ever worn.

We updated the buttons on “The Ripper” Waffle Double Gauze Shirt to classic Japanese cat’s eye buttons for a more vintage feel.
