3sixteen is releasing a series of hand-stitched jackets inspired by the sakura tree to celebrate the launch of Glenfiddich's '29-Year-Old Grand Yozakura.' The partnership recognizes Japan's enormous cultural influence on the globe while commemorating the release of Glenfiddich's brand-new 'Grand Yozakura' expression. It has hand-stitched embroidery that is reminiscent of Japanese sashiko repairs.
Each jacket features hand embroidery by Jamie Wong and spotlights the 3sixteen broken stitch design around the sakura imagery. The jackets were created in the USA and are dipped in midnight black leather.
On May 9, a social media drop will make the Glenfiddich x 3sixteen limited-edition bespoke denim jackets accessible. Customers may enter to win one of the unique jackets through a giveaway hosted by Glenfiddich and 3sixteen.
