Hey - there is something weird up with your webshop, not available right now. Just a heads-up. EDIT: Now is available, wasn't last night. Also, there is something wrong with the sitemap. You can check out what I mean by googling 3sixteen and checking the top result (it shows your site and then subpages on the site, and you can click on "More Results from 3Sixteen" to see your pages. There are some pages that look like they don't exist anymore, so someone probably made changes to your site and didn't re-submit the sitemap.

I am on the BSP/SL100 fence.

Thanks for the heads up. Our current webstore resides at shop.3sixteen.com; anything else might be residual from our old webstore that we migrated away from 3+ years ago. Strange that it still shows up in Google search...

As for your quandary, I would really consider the 11BSPs. There's a lot of character in the denim that will show quickly due to its abrasive nature. Thomas at SENY has only been wearing his for 2-3 months and they are looking really interesting already.

[zackl111]

No sweat. I would ask your web person to submit a new google sitemap so that those old pages aren't indexed by google any more. Submitting a sitemap is definitely a step that can get overlooked, but it does have an impact. It could potentially hamper your SEO if you are concerned about that (as google isn't going to like those outdated pages it finds).

Definitely considering those 11BSP's. They seem incredible. Solid work!

I have a question about the 11BSP - Is the fit pic on self edge (here: http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87&products_id=714) representative of the actual fit of the denim? It looks really baggy in the lower half, and I am wondering if it will narrow after a soak and look slimmer. Thoughts?

If you size down (with a cold soak) then it can end up looking slimmer. Thomas at SENY went with the 11BSPs and they don't look baggy at all on him.

Judging by the measurements; I don't know by experience, there doesn't seem to be much of a taper to them. After a nice soak, and possibly sizing down, you should be able to get a nice slim straight fit out of them.

[zackl111]

How much waist shrinkage will there be with a cold soak? Thanks for all the help too!

With a cold soak you will probably lose 0.5" in the waist and maybe 1.5-2" in the length. But this will afford you an overall slimmer leg profile, which it seems like you're looking for. Just make sure the jeans have a little bit of room pre-soak (you shouldn't be fighting to button them up like you would with a pair of sanforized jeans) and throw them in a tub of cold water for 10 min. All future washes should be cold water/hang dry. You should be good to go.

I'm looking at buying a pair of 10bsp, im a size 29, but looking at the measurements of the 30, they might work depending on how much they shrink. I can't seem to find any measurements of other sizes of 10bsp around, should i cop the pair on supermarket?

[zackl111]

measurements of other bsps: http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=87

[fungz0r]

are the 11bsp and 10 bsp the same cut/measurements? The measurements given by the seller seem to be different

The 11BSPs are unsanforized but the 10s are, hence the sizing difference. They're cut so that you are the same size in both AFTER the soak.

[deadendpro]

Someone get this guy some 3sixteen+'s so we can see what he can do with those, +rep!

[ccavagnolo]

No. I made this mistake and lost $200. I wear a 27 in the apc and could have fit a 29 in the 3-sixteens but opted for a 30 to gain some leg width.

I originally bought the 28, could button but not comfortable, and definitely didnt loosen up enough.

Anyone know if size 28 20BSPs would fit well if I typically wear a 27 in APC Petit Standards? I can't seem to find a size chart available for them anymore.

Beautiful, Mr Warr

Deadendpro: I've been wearing my 3Sixteen+ 21BSP's since the end of May and I should take some photographs. Coming up on four months of wear (switched for the odd day of 634SB's here and there) tomorrow. They're showing some electric blue in a lot of areas and the honey combs are coming in nicely.

@arwaiyne warr

I just noticed noticed, what happened to your patch ?

[cmo]

Anyone know of anywhere online with a pair of SL100 in w33?

[Layne]

I saw Andrew post somewhere that they found some pairs of something.... sorry for being vague.

His name here is ajchen, look him up.

[cmo]

Yeah saw that on twitter... No w33's in his find unfortunately. Thanks for the reply.

[ajchen]

Sit tight folks, we'll be shipping a quick run of SL-100x to accounts in about 3 weeks and then ongoing stock will be available throughout the holiday season.

3sixteen SL-100 10 mos. 1 wash

[PeterParker]

Nice. Are those the old Kaihara denim, or the new Kuroki stuff?

Those fades appear to have more contrast than the Kaihara denim, but I can't remember if the Kuroki stuff was available 10 months ago...

[JL77]

From what I can see, those look like the 2nd version of indigo fabric that we were using from Kaihara before moving to our custom woven denim from Kuroki.

[ajchen]

Yup, that is Kaihara round 2. It looks like Arwaiyne_Warr's 2nd pair, the 12 month old ones (possibly the 1st as well, not sure) are also Kaihara 2.

[yyliew]

Nice new look on the website. I like it @ajchen @jl77

[drizzle24]

Correct Its the Kiahara denim. I've owned them since last August but haven't been wearing them as hard as i want to. Probably going to send them in for repairs soon for some reinforcement.

[JL77]

For all you NY folks, if you don't go to this, you're basically losing money...
