The verdict

A good pick for a first selvedge jean or warmer weather, offering the classic straight cut in a lighter, already softened stonewashed denim.

Fit

This is the classic straight cut with a higher rise, room in the hip and thigh, and a slight taper from the knee down. The 101x is the lightest fabric in the line, and the stonewash gives a broken-in hand from the start; expect the waist to stretch about 1-1.5 inches over early wears.

Quality

It uses custom 12oz selvedge from Kuroki Mills in Japan with the brand's usual selvedge detailing, and the stonewash removes further shrinkage. Reviewers describe the classic straight selvedge line as some of the finest available.

Price check

At 290 USD it is priced at the premium end of the category, though the lighter approachable denim and Japanese mill sourcing make it a reasonable entry point into that tier.

Best for

Someone new to raw or selvedge denim, or a warm-climate wearer, who wants the classic straight cut without a stiff break-in.

Care

Wash cold inside-out and hang dry; the lighter 12oz fabric benefits from gentle handling.

What owners report about 3sixteen jeans

Reviewers consistently point to the fabric as the reason to buy: the mainline jeans use a 14.5 oz Japanese selvedge denim, sewn in the USA, that reviewers describe as having heft while staying soft on the inside because of its open-end weft yarns, with a 12 oz multi-season denim offered on some cuts. Owners who wear pairs hard report fast, high-contrast fading. The trade-off is wear rate: one owner's pair worn daily for 26 months without washing developed large blowouts, with the writer noting the denim wears down as quickly as it fades.

Strengths: The denim itself — heavy, soft-backed Japanese selvedge that fades fast with strong contrast — draws the most consistent praise.
Watch out for: The same fast-fading cloth wears through fast under hard use; long stretches without washing accelerated the damage, and one long-term wearer reported large blowouts.
Sizing: Reviewers describe the cuts as slim-but-not-skinny with a respectable rise; the straight-leg cut suits those who find a slim-tapered leg too narrow.
