Cut and sewn in the USA from raw, Japanese selvedge denim
These Classic Tapered Jeans are made in the USA from a substantial 14.5 oz. raw selvedge denim—custom-woven for 3sixteen by Kuroki Mills in Japan for the last 15 years. In terms of design, this pair is modeled after Levi’s famous 1947 501’s—resulting in a higher rise, extra room in the thigh, and a slight taper throughout. Even more, rugged gunmetal hardware ensures they hold up to years of wear—no doubt earning their place as the pair with the most character in your collection.

How to Measure
- Waist: Align the front and back waistbands so they’re stacked on top of each other, then measure from edge to edge across the middle of the waistband, multiply by 2
- Thigh: Starting 1" below the crotch seam, measure straight across from edge to edge (not from seam to seam)
- Leg Opening: Measure across the bottom hem from edge to edge
- Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the leg hem, following along the inside of the leg

About 3sixteen
Saying that 3sixteen's stylish, meticulously crafted apparel is a North Star in the menswear world isn't an overstatement. With nearly two decades of experience crafting premium denim, 3sixteen co-founders Andrew Chen and Johan Lam get deep into the weeds developing fabrics and partnering with manufacturers to produce some of the best damn jeans you've ever worn. And it doesn't stop there. Natural dyes, hand-stitched details, world-class materials—they carry that same quality to everything in their lineup from knit polos to crosscut flannels. All the while building upon their well-established foundation (and the foundation of any closet)—an absolutely stellar pair of jeans.
