The verdict
Fit
Brow-line frame in khaki and grey; styling is retro and narrow. Fit assumes a smaller face. Try-on is essential.
Quality
3sixteen frames are assembled from quality materials and paired with decent optics. Durability is good for handcrafted eyewear.
Is the price fair?
At $375, this is high-end sunglasses pricing. You pay for brand, design, and heritage; optical quality is table-stakes, not the differentiator.
Best for
Design enthusiasts and 3sixteen collectors who wear sunglasses primarily in spring and early summer.
Care
Store in a case to protect lenses; clean gently with a microfiber cloth. Avoid heat and pressure that could warp the frame.
What owners report about 3sixteen chinos
Reviewers describe 3sixteen's selvedge chinos as cut with a slightly higher rise and a roomier top block that tapers cleanly through the leg, giving a fuller seat and thigh than a slim chino. The Japanese selvedge cloth is noted to feel stiff and crunchy out of the box and to soften after a few wears. The fit sits closer to a relaxed/tailored trouser than a workwear-baggy cut, though some see the fabric as reading more rugged than a smooth dress chino.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the sturdy Japanese selvedge fabric and the higher-rise, roomy-top-block-with-clean-taper fit.
- Watch out for
- The cloth feels stiff and crunchy when new and needs a few wears to break in and soften.
- Sizing
- Owners note the rise runs slightly higher and the top block is roomier, so those wanting a slimmer look tend to size down from their usual slim/tapered size.
