Three shirts. Three eras. One neckline that's never gone out of style.
We introduce three versions of the Henley. Each one comes from a different decade, built to a different brief, with different materials and different details. But they share the same basic shape — the one that rowers wore in the 1800s, that farmhands wore in the 1940s, that nobody has ever managed to improve on.
Here are nine ways to wear them.
The 1940s Slub Cotton Henley Pocket T-Shirt
250 GSM slub cotton. Corozo buttons. One chest pocket. New in — Oats and Gray.
The 1940s Henley reflects a period when clothing was made around everyday needs.
The chest pocket was not added as a design feature. It was practical. A place for small tools, notes, or whatever the day required. That simple approach is what gives the shirt its character.
The heavier slub cotton gives the fabric texture and structure, while the relaxed shape keeps it easy to wear. It is a shirt that feels familiar from the first day and improves with time.
Way 01 — Field Heritage
OG-107 Sateen Weave Fatigue Pants in Navy or Khaki. Work boots or white canvas shoes.
The combination of an Oat Henley with military-inspired trousers has always felt natural.
Both pieces come from a tradition of practical clothing. They were designed first for movement and durability, with appearance following function.
The Fatigue Pants bring structure, while the Henley keeps the outfit relaxed. Nothing is overly styled. The appeal comes from the materials, the proportions, and the way the pieces develop character through wear.
Way 02 — Texture & Tradition
The slub texture of the Henley works well with the clean surface of a classic chino.
The softness of cotton against the structure of twill creates a balanced outfit. Traditional, but not costume-like.
Way 03 — Summer, Simplified
The natural tones of the Henley and Gurkha Shorts sit comfortably together, creating an easy combination without the need for extra layers.
The Gurkha Short has its own military history, designed for warmer climates and everyday movement. Paired with the Henley, it continues the same tradition of practical clothing made well.

Made from undyed organic cotton, the shirt keeps a natural appearance and a soft texture. It is an everyday piece designed to become part of your regular wardrobe, not something reserved for a particular occasion.
Way 04 — Natural Fabrics
Lot 845 Linen Double Pleated Trousers in Black or Gray Blue.
Organic cotton and linen have been part of clothing traditions for centuries. Both materials age naturally, developing more character through regular wear.
The Organic Henley brings a relaxed simplicity, while the linen trousers add structure. The result is an outfit that feels comfortable without losing its sense of purpose.
Way 05 — Summer Dressing
Relaxed Double-Pleated Hemp-Cotton Shorts.
The combination of organic cotton and hemp creates a balance of softness and texture. Both fabrics are naturally breathable and become more comfortable through regular wear.
Paired with the Organic Henley, the outfit is simple and practical. A few well-chosen pieces are often enough.
Way 06 — Everyday Classic
Classic Fit Two-Pleated Chino in Khaki.
Some combinations have lasted simply because they make sense. A Henley and a khaki chino belong to that category.
The clean lines of the chino balance the relaxed character of the Henley, creating an outfit that feels familiar without becoming ordinary.

1890s Slub Cotton Henley T-Shirt

The 1890s Henley represents the earliest form of the design. Before the Henley became part of modern casual clothing, it was simply a practical garment made for daily wear. The details were shaped by purpose: a comfortable neckline, durable fabric, and a construction that could withstand regular use.
More than a century later, those same qualities remain relevant. The design has lasted because it was never built around trends.
Way 07 — Workwear Heritage
Lot 826W Denim Work Trousers.
Heavy denim and textured cotton have long been at the foundation of traditional workwear. Both fabrics were developed with function in mind. They were made to be worn often, washed regularly, and improved through years of use.
The softness of the Henley balances the weight of the denim, creating a combination that feels natural rather than styled. Each piece brings its own history, but they share the same purpose.
Way 08 — Military Influence
1960s AUS Army Combat Pants in Brown or Khaki.
A shirt from the 1890s and trousers from the 1960s may come from different periods, but their approach to clothing is remarkably similar.
Both were created around movement, practicality, and durability.
The utility of the Combat Pants sits naturally alongside the simplicity of the Henley. The contrast between the two eras is what makes the combination work.
Way 09 — The Everyday Uniform
10 oz Cotton Canvas Climbing Pants in Olive.
Some outfits become reliable because they require very little thought. The 1890s Henley and olive canvas trousers share the same straightforward approach to clothing. Comfortable fabrics, practical shapes, and details that serve a purpose.
It is the kind of combination that becomes familiar over time. Not because it demands attention, but because it works.
Three Henleys. Nine combinations. A design that has remained relevant because it continues to serve its original purpose.
