Founded in LA by Johan Lam and Andrew Chen, 3sixteen's journey began in 2008 with their inaugural pair of robust and character-infused jeans, the SL-100x. They partnered with Japan's Kuroki Mills to forge distinctive denim. Their ethos centers on enduring quality and adaptability, fusing Japanese fabrics with American and Indian craftsmanship.

Their collections have evolved to encompass diverse fits and fabrics, all striving to be enduring like their foundational jeans.This philosophy extends to all kinds of garments, drawing inspiration primarily from art and nature. Through their deft use of textures, they craft truly distinctive garments designed to develop character over time.
