Our Type 3s jackets have been a mainstay in our collection ever since we launched them as part of our FW14 collection. We designed them in homage to the classic Type III jacket, with a few tweaks of our own to modernize the silhouette. The jacket features our signature crossed back yoke and corduroy lined cuffs and pocketbags, coupled with a slim, modern fit. They were always available exclusively in our 14.5oz flagship shadow and double black selvedge denim, save for a few one-off special projects. Over these past five years, we've made and sold many Type 3s jackets and are always excited to see someone add one to their stable.

This spring, we are releasing new Type 3s jackets with several notable updates.

Over the years, we've heard many requests for a looser-fitting Type 3s silhouette, and with this new version, we're happy to oblige. The fit has been completely re-engineered with lower armholes, fuller arms and a roomier chest which allows the wearer to treat the jacket more like an outerwear piece that can be layered under. The original Type 3s jacket was cut intentionally slim and designed to be worn over a t-shirt or light button down. This one is sized such that you can wear a hoody or sweater underneath it in colder months. You'll also be able to take your standard 3sixteen tops size in this jacket, unlike the last version. So if you're a Large in our tops, we suggest taking a Large in this new jacket which will allow for layering, and if you're looking for that slim fit our old silhouette was known for, you may even be able to size down to a Medium.
