About this product
The 101 Henley is a lightweight base layer for the warmer seasons, clocking it at a soft and reasonable 4.6oz, it's airy and breathable, with a slightly-relaxed fit through the body. The sleeves are 3/4 length, allowing you to wear this under another shirt and still cuff the sleeves without revealing the layer beneath. Besides that, it's got a classic 3-button placket and is made from loopwheeled cotton.
The vintage loopwheelers they knit their fabric up on are notably slow - humming along at just 1 meter per hour and producing about one half roll of fabric in a day. By comparison, a modern knitting machine can blast out about five full rolls in the same amount of time, operating at roughly 10 times the speed of a loopwheeler.
The fabrics created are anything but equal. The "slow and steady" nature of loopwheel machines comes from the gravity-fed nature of the knit - with minimal tension applied, the finished product is light, airy, and remarkably soft from the moment its knit.
True to size. Wash cold on delicate cycle, dry flat.
