The 3-in-3 has a masculine, motorcycle chain feel that makes it a favorite with men. Like all masculine chains, it makes a woman's wrist look delicate by contrast.
3-in-3 is a simple pattern but it looks good only with perfect closures and no pringling at all. Hence, weaving 3-in-3 adds significantly and rapidly to a mailler's vital skill set.
When you hear 3-in-3, this is the chain that comes to mind so that's the best name for it but technically, this is a 6-in-3 chain because 6 rings pass through each set of 3.
