What owners report about 3sixteen pants
Third-party coverage of 3sixteen's pants is strongly positive and centers on the raw selvedge denim, woven for the brand at Japan's Kuroki Mills and sewn in the USA. A long-running menswear editor called the denim some of the most handsome he'd seen and the most comfortable he'd worn, with a respectable rise and flattering fit; the flagship fabric is a 14.5 oz selvedge, with lighter 12 oz multi-season options also reviewed. Cuts range from a higher-rise classic straight to a sharply tapered fit, and reviewers note the rinsed fabrics ease the stiffness raw denim usually starts with. Honest negatives are scarce — the practical caveats are the raw-denim ones (break-in, fade-focused care), and independent reviews of the non-denim pants like fatigues and chinos are much thinner than for the jeans.
- Strengths
- The custom-woven Japanese selvedge denim and well-differentiated, flattering cuts are what editors and owners consistently praise.
- Watch out for
- These are raw jeans at a premium price — expect initial stiffness and break-in — and there is little independent coverage of the line's fatigues and chinos to go on.
- Sizing
- The straight-leg cut fits like a slim-but-not-skinny trouser and the tapered cut pairs a roomy top block with a high front rise (measured around 11 1/4 in.), so choose by rise and thigh measurements rather than assuming a skinny fit.
