What owners report about 3sixteen sweatshirts
Coverage of the line centers on its weight: a heavy 500gsm fleece knit, cut and sewn in Canada, that reviewers treat as closer to light outerwear than a basic sweat. One owner's long-term account reports the interior fleece was plush at first but lost its softness after the first cold wash and hang dry, shedding some fleece before settling; the same review notes the neck opening is wider than typical and stretches easily. Reviewers consistently praise the ribbed cuffs, gussets, and hem, and the hidden on-seam hand pockets on crewnecks and pullovers.
- Strengths
- One of the heaviest fleeces reported in this space — dense, warm 500gsm fabric with sturdy ribbing and hardware that reviewers say justifies treating it as a cold-weather layer.
- Watch out for
- Owners report the interior fleece loses its initial softness and sheds after the first wash, the neck opening stretches easily, and body lengths run shorter than most comparable sweats.
- Sizing
- Advice is split by era: older runs are described as running a bit small with size-up guidance, while the 2024-revamped cut is called true to size with a roomier, boxier body that is shorter in length — reviewers say to check the measurements.
