The NT-220x jean is cut from 3sixteen’s 14.5 oz. selvedge double black denim. Custom woven exclusively for 3sixteen by the Okayama-based Kuroki Mills, the denim consists of black warp and weft threads. This makes for a slow aging denim that will, over time, yield some beautiful grayscale fades in high-wear areas. The NT fit offers a high rise, a relatively roomy thigh, and a strong taper from knee to leg opening.

Carlo is wearing 31w in these 3sixteen black jeans. He is 185 cm tall and weighs 78 kg. / 6ft 1" and 172 lbs.

NB: Due to the dying process used on the 220x denim, these jeans have less give than their indigo counterparts. Expect no more than .5” stretch in the waist over time.

Important: The best way to determine the size you need is to measure a similar item you already own and compare with the actual sizing as per the table below. Do not go by tagsize alone. Sanforized. Minimal shrinkage.
