Leisure Shirt - Indigo Discharge
3Sixteen - Leisure Shirt - Indigo Discharge
Last year, when 3sixteen started utilizing production in India with their beautiful lightweight fabrics, they really dished out the vintage-inspired leisure shirts. They clearly learned from their successes and have delivered what might be the best reproduction leisure shirt we've laid eyes on.
This round is made from a breezy Indian cotton and dyed with natural indigo. As 3Sixteen owner, Andrew, describes - India was the first major indigo production center and as such, Indian indigo has different qualities than its more common Japanese counterpart. The natural dye on this piece is a lighter shade of blue than traditional Japanese indigos, which tend to be deep and violet in nature. To create the wonderful mid-1950's bubble pattern, the shirt has been discharge printed. Discharge is a translucent ink that lifts dyes from cotton fabric (similar to how bleach). This means that the pattern doesn't add any bulk or affect the flowiness of the shirt, as it is simply removed from the dye rather than added. The shirt has been garment washed to remove any potential shrinkage as well as begin the fading process for a wonderful broken-in look and feel.
Finally - 3Sixteen's unique collar design is based on a mid-century Italian open-collar pattern, a nice break from the more common camp collar design. This thoughtful touch seals the deal on this shirt for us. It reads as a subtle reproduction of what would have been a luxurious leisure piece in the early 1960's. Now, get out there and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Fit Notes: This piece is fitting true to size. As a leisure shirt, it's meant to have a bit more room. It sticks pretty closely to a traditional leisure shirt fit with a boxier torso and short, straight hem with a side split. Ryan is shown here wearing a size small. He is 5'9," 140lbs with a 38" chest.


























3sixteen
We've been waiting on these to return for ages. We feel like we really dropped the ball last round when we were so focused on raw-only options. We've seen these things in the flesh, and they're very, very good. The fabric is a 12oz raw indigo selvedge denim that is woven exclusively for 3sixteen by Kuroki Mills in Okayama, Japan. They then worked with a local wash house in Los Angeles, CA to put the jacket through a multi-stage stonewash process to bring the character of the fabric out. They're some of the best washes we've seen thus far.

We've seen these things in the flesh, and they're very, very good. It's a wonderful sub-option while you're breaking in other pairs, or it could just be the solo pair you wear until they look even better. The CS-101xs jean features a 12oz selvedge denim that is stonewashed for an evenly faded look. The stonewash gives the jean a soft, broken-in hand that's perfect for year-round wear.

Tochigi Veg Tan Belt - Chestnut
We heard whispers about the first time 3sixteen released belts - how soft they were, how well they aged...the whole nine. What really got us excited was that Made in Japan embossing. We've yet to have a belt from Japan in our shop in all these years. Now we can check that box with one of the softest belts in the game. We were talking about these babies in the shop and decided they fit 3sixteen's lineup perfectly. They're hardy enough to hold up a pair of raw denim, but these are really created for all the other pants they've been working on. When you're wearing lighter, more comfy pants...you don't need these super heavy, tough-as-nails belts. You need something that suits the pant, and that's exactly what Tochigi leather accomplishes at 4mm thick. All three are veg tan with a different finish. Now the real question is, which one??
