henley shirts

Collarless button plackets

Henley shirts are collarless pullover shirts with a placket and several buttons at the neckline, typically extending a few inches down the chest.

The style falls between a crew neck t-shirt and a polo shirt in formality.

Originally underwear, henleys became casual outerwear in the late twentieth century: He rolled up the sleeves of his henley.

Named after the English town famous for its rowing regatta.
