RS-220x ~ Relaxed Straight ~ Double Black
The verdict
Fit
The RS (Relaxed Straight) is roomy through hip and thigh, straight at the leg. Double-black (220x) is slightly faded from raw black but still dark. Standard weight. Relaxed fit is notably roomy compared to the classic straight.
Quality
Standard-weight double-black denim from 3sixteen maintains their seaming and finishing standards. Not raw, but still durable. Will age and develop character over years of wear.
Price check
At 270 USD for a relaxed-straight, standard-weight black denim, this is mid-premium. Double-black pricing sits between raw black and heavily-washed options.
Best for
Shoppers wanting relaxed fit and black color with 3sixteen quality, without the initial rawness.
Care
Wash every 8-10 weeks in cold water; black denim will fade subtly in high-stress areas over time.

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.
