3sixteen continues its indigo-soaked 20th birthday celebrations with their 15.4 oz. Natural Indigo denim collection. Comprised of their iconic CT (Classic Taper) jeans and Type 3 denim jacket, this is as special of a denim tuxedo as they come, and not only because the denim is so premium. 3sixteen has been faithfully offering quality-made garments in our niche of fashion for longer than we’ve been around, and if you’re new to the brand, this might be the perfect time to dive into some of their denim.
The denim in this collection is Japanese-milled in Hiroshima, using 100% organic cotton, all natural-indigo dyed. It’s the most expensive denim that 3sixteen has ever employed on their clothes, and for good reason. 20 years ain’t nothin’ to sniff at! The texture on this denim is unreal – it’s just the right balance in eye-catching, slightly slubby texture. You can bet that it’ll fade into a beautifully bright blue with time spent wearing and washing. that’s the natural indigo way! Their red selvedge ID makes them all the more classic. They’re like vintage denim, just a wee bit nicer, well… maybe a lot nicer. It’s sanforized, so shrinkage will be minimal with a wash.
3sixteens CT-120xn are a tapered fit with a roomy top block, perfect for just about anyone looking for a great fitting (and good-looking jean) without too much excess fabric sloshing around the ankle. These foolproof five-pocket jeans come complete with custom gunmetal hardware, hidden rivet reinforcements, selvedge detail on the coin pocket, 8 oz. cotton twill pocket bags, and a brown roughout leather 20th-anniversary patch.
The Type 3 Jacket in this collection is classic 3sixteen: Crosscut back yoke, custom metal button-front placket, roomy welted pockets at the hips, dual flap-closure chest pockets, interior pockets, button-adjusting cuffs and hem, and anniversary leather patch. We’ll never tire of this silhouette and the sheer functionality of these pieces.
Here’s to 20 more years of 3sixteen.
