About 3X1:
As a label, 3x1 is defined by transparency, value, and uniqueness with the one and only location at 15 Mercer Street housing a 4,000 sq.ft. retail and gallery space, an entire manufacturing facility as well as their 3,200 sq.ft. design studio. Each pair of 3x1 jeans is created on site and tailored for the customer as Limited Edition, Custom Made or Bespoke.

The name "3x1" is derived from denim’s standard weaving construction, 3x1 Right Hand Twill, and references designer Scott Morrison's third venture following Paper Denim & Cloth and Earnest Sewn.
