dual action henleys
The henley shirt is a beautiful thing. It’s pretty much underwear, like the top half of a set of long johns, but it’s, well, not. The henley shirt is a great thermal layer to throw on under and/or over a t-shirt. It makes great workout clothing in the colder months. It’s also a great alternative to the sweater, especially with all this attention workwear is grabbing these days. Can it be completely formalized? No. However, it is not rogueish or to be looked down upon as, say, wearing a white beader undershirt in place of a presentable shirt (like this).
If you feel like you’re paying too much for a henley shirt, you probably are. It’s over/underwear that should be made tough, looks great in off-white and earthy tones, and can top off a well-dressed rustic guy workwear look any day of the week.
