The verdict
Fit
Knit construction implies a more substantial, textured fabric than plain jersey. Expect a modern fit with good drape; long sleeves and knit typically yield a slightly tapered silhouette without being tight.
Quality
At this price, 3sixteen's knit tees use better yarn and finishing than basics. Expect durability through repeated wear, though knits require more careful handling than woven tees.
Is the price fair?
Premium pricing. For a knit tee, $245 is justifiable if the yarn quality and construction match—3sixteen's reputation supports it—but this is a luxury tier purchase.
Best for
Shoppers who own and appreciate knit tees and want a well-made, durable piece that shows quality in its texture and drape.
Care
Knits need gentle care: hand wash or delicate machine cycle, lay flat to dry to prevent stretching.
What owners report about 3sixteen t-shirts
Owners and reviewers treat 3sixteen's tees as dense, heavy shirts built more like the brand's denim than a throwaway basic — Heddels rated the fabric heavy and called the construction clean, filing it as a shirt for years of continuous wear rather than an exciting one. The recurring ownership story is shrinkage: one forum owner reported a tee losing almost three inches of length and two of width after a cold wash and hang dry, far beyond what the brand's size guidance stated, and got little help from customer service. The fit runs slim, and reviewers note small nitpicks like the collar tag crinkling after a wash and overlocked side seams on the cut-and-sewn version.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently rate the heavyweight fabric and construction quality as the draw — a plain, hard-wearing shirt expected to last a couple of years of continuous use.
- Watch out for
- First-wash shrinkage is the recurring complaint — owners report losing more length and width than the brand's own guidance states, and customer service reportedly would not exchange a shrunken shirt.
- Sizing
- The cut is slim to begin with and owners report substantial first-wash shrinkage, so size up if between sizes and wash cold and hang dry.
