3sixteen’s 2008 spring collection should be arriving (and restocking in some instances) around the world. As witnessed through a gradual brand progression, the theme for 3sixteen has remained dark as witnessed by their graphic tees. Quickly becoming a focal point of each collection is 3sixteen’s growing expertise in cut & sew production. Available now in the 3sixteen webshop.
3Sixteen is at it again, and this time they teamed up with OC-based sunglasses manufacturer, Sabrevision, to create their very first sunglasses design. With Sabrevision’s Sunday frame as a base, 3Sixteen added marbled acetate frame, smoked gradient lenses, and the classic 3Sixteen script logo engraved on the left leg. The sunglasses have three colorways: Amber, Blue, and Grey, and will come in a special custom dust bag. It will be available at select 3Sixteen accounts in June. The new royalty is definitely taking over the reigns with their ever-expanding product lines.

Founding member Andrew Chen had a chance to sit down for a short interview which can be seen after the jump. Look for the Spring collection to arrive in March.
