Technically it's three barleycorns - see the history section in The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes.

Each full size, up or down, is equivalent to 1/3 inch, and each half-size is 1/6 inch.

Per the standard system of foot measurements that King Edward II of England (King 1307 – 1327, House of Plantagenet) created in 1324 because he wanted to reduce the amount of time needed to make shoes.
