The latest iteration of the Type 3s denim jacket pays tribute to the classic Type III design with some notable differences. 3sixteen's modifications include a longer body, welt pockets, and a distinctive cross back yoke that sets it apart. They have removed the back waist cinch and the back seams, though you're unlikely to notice their absence.

The fabric is the flagship 14.5oz 220x double black selvedge Japanese denim from Kuroki mills, which will develop a grey fade with heavy wear. The jacket also boasts two flap pockets on the chest, button closure, YKK shanks, new black doughnut buttons, zig-zag stitching on the collar stand, and an interior suede leather patch by Tanner Goods.

The brand has made significant fit adjustments based on years of feedback. The chest and arms have been generously opened up, resulting in an overall more relaxed fit. Please review the updated measurements before purchasing, particularly if you've owned a Type 3s jacket from us in the past.

The cut offers a slight slim fit, adding a modern touch to its classic inspiration. Most people find it comfortable to go one size up in 3sixteen denim jackets compared to their 3sixteen shirts. For instance, if you typically wear a size M in 3sixteen shirts or other American brands, you'll likely find a suitable fit with this jacket in size L. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is sanforized, so there will be no shrinkage.

Founded in LA by Johan Lam and Andrew Chen over a decade ago, 3sixteen's philosophy is evident in pieces they've developed since 2008: shirts, jackets, basics and accessories all take cues in form and function from their jeans. Fabrics and trims are always chosen for their capacity to develop character with time. 3sixteen aim is that, with diligent wear, the customers are rewarded with something well-aged, never "old."
