Men's Classic Henley Short Sleeve Top

All the practical details you need: measuring, materials, model & fit, care and styling tips.

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For body measurements, measure over light clothing or underwear. For garment measurements, lay the top flat on a smooth surface. Record measurements in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Measuring your body (to pick a size)

1. Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits and across the shoulder blades. Keep it level and snug but not tight.
2. Shoulders: Measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other where the shoulder seam would sit.
3. Neck: Measure around the base of the neck where a shirt collar would sit.
4. Torso/Body length: From the high point of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to fall.
5. Sleeve length (short sleeve): From the top of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam sits) to the end of the sleeve.

Measuring a finished garment (lay‑flat)

1. Chest (pit‑to‑pit): Lay the top flat and measure across the front from one armpit seam to the other. Double this number for full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Neck opening: Measure across the collar seam; double if you need circumference.
4. Body length: From the high point of the shoulder (where collar meets shoulder seam) down to the hem.
5. Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to sleeve hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and double for circumference.

Tip: Compare your body measurement to the garment's lay‑flat measurement and allow 2–7 cm (≈1–3 in) of ease depending on how fitted you want the top to be. If between sizes, size up for a relaxed fit or down for a slimmer fit.

Materials & features

Common fabric options and what to expect from each:

• 100% combed cotton jersey — Soft, breathable and comfortable. Natural fiber that softens over time. Slight shrinkage may occur on the first wash if exposed to high heat.
• Cotton/polyester blends (e.g. 60/40 or 65/35) — Improved durability, faster drying and better color retention; less prone to shrinkage than pure cotton.
• Cotton + elastane (e.g. 95/5) — Adds stretch and recovery for a closer, comfortable fit while preserving cotton’s feel.
• Construction details — Typically a two‑ or three‑button placket, ribbed neckline, reinforced placket tape and cover or flat stitching for comfort and durability.
• Typical weight — Medium‑weight jersey (approximately 160–200 g/m²) for good drape and year‑round wear.

Note: Exact composition and trims (button material, placket reinforcement, finishes) can vary by color or production run — check the product label or technical spec for precise info.

Model & fit

Example model information (use as a guide):

• Model height: 6'1" (185 cm)
• Model chest: 39" (99 cm)
• Wearing size: M
• Fit: Regular/classic fit — not overly slim or oversized. Choose your usual shirt size for a classic look. Size up for a relaxed fit; size down for a more fitted silhouette.

Always compare your body measurements to the listing’s size chart (garment lay‑flat measurements) for the best result.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash inside out with similar colors to protect surface color and the placket/buttons.
• Machine wash cold or warm (30–40°C / 86–104°F) on a gentle cycle to reduce wear and shrinkage.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and strong optical brighteners.
• Avoid fabric softeners on performance blends (they can reduce moisture‑management). For pure cotton a small amount is optional.
• Dry flat or tumble dry on low; remove promptly to minimize wrinkles and shrinkage. High heat damages fibers and elastane.
• Iron inside out on medium heat if needed; avoid ironing directly on buttons.
• Reduce pilling by washing inside out, using gentle cycles, and avoiding contact with rough surfaces; remove pills with a fabric shaver.
• Repair loose buttons and seams promptly and store folded or on shaped hangers to avoid shoulder stretching.

Style Tips

• Casual weekend: Pair the Henley with slim or straight dark denim and white sneakers for an easy, timeless look.
• Smart‑casual: Layer under an unstructured blazer or lightweight sport coat, add chinos and loafers or Chelsea boots.
• Layering: Wear under an open overshirt, denim jacket or lightweight cardigan in cooler weather.
• Summer styling: Wear a lighter‑weight Henley with tailored chino shorts and leather sandals or espadrilles.
• Tuck or untuck: Leave untucked for a relaxed vibe; tuck into chinos with a leather belt for a neater appearance suitable for casual office settings.
• Color pairing: Neutral Henleys (white, navy, gray, black) are versatile; earth tones (olive, rust, sand) pair well with denim and tan footwear.
• Accessories: Keep it simple — a leather or metal‑band watch, a slim belt and minimal bracelets complement the clean lines of a Henley.

Quick rule: Balance the top’s fit with your bottoms — a trimmed Henley pairs best with tailored or slim bottoms; a relaxed Henley works well with straight or slightly tapered jeans.
