3Sixteens, 9 months in. In the few months since my last update, I’ve been wearing these here and there. Maybe a few times a week. Seeing as it’s been a hot summer, and I’ve mostly been in swim trunks for the better part of it, when I do pull on a pair of jeans, it’s these.
They’ve continued to fade beautifully. Some really nice stuff happening. I recently sized down wallets, from a Billykirk zip wallet to the smaller Maxx & Unicorn, and my back pocket is starting to show it.
I also gave these a thirty minute warm water soak about a month or so ago. Just to release some of the embedded dirt and funk that had begun to gang up on them. I was hesitant at first, as to not lose any of the really great wear that had come with age, and after they had air dried, they had kind of darkened in the worn areas. However after a single wear, everything seemed to magically reappear. Total relief.
These have really taken a shape that is totally my own. They feel like an extension of me. I never have to think about them. Just pull ‘em on and go. The denim still has a great feel to it. And I’m really digging the varying hues of indigo throughout. As the weather turns crisper in the coming months, I look forward to wearing these into the ground. Although, Stay tuned.
James… and I’m being totally honest when I say this… Those look fucking awesome.
They look killer.
Really great outcome on these! Have you checked out the 3sixteen+ line that Self Edge just released?
The jeans rock, but the shoes really caught my eye…red wing meets sperry. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
thanks fellas. I’m stoked on their progress. They’re comin’ along beautifully.
Love the shoes!! Maker, pls?

James man were you out at surf lodge this weekend? Weird recognizing you from denim debate. Jeans looked sick in person if it was you and these 3sixteens.
