Among the best men’s style essentials for fall and winter to wear right now, there’s perhaps one I find myself reaching for more than any other, at least as far as the best base layers are concerned. I’m talking, of course, about one of the best men’s henleys, the kind you can wear under your favorite trucker jacket, beneath a cozy flannel shirt or as a standalone piece for casual weekend outings (you’re on your own for coffee or beer picks for the weekend this time, though).

The henley in question today is the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Flex Henley, and it’s high time you acquainted yourself with the brand for the season ahead. It’s one of the best henleys for men, period, for several reasons, but as with other Free Fly menswear, it all starts with the sustainable, soft and ultra-comfortable fabric.

The key with the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Flex Henley is the soft stretch knit fabric, which is actually viscose made from bamboo that’s also blended with polyester for durability and a bounce-back sort of factor. In my experience, this Free Fly bamboo henley is incredibly soft to the touch, moisture-wicking and perfectly comfortable as a standalone shirt or worn beneath one of my favorite hoodies for long travel days.

Plus, the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Flex Henley is fairly priced for its technical fabric — granted, it’s more expensive than a more traditional cotton or thermal henley, but you’ll reap the benefits in terms of functionality. I’ve personally worn my Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Flex Henley as a base layer with a field jacket for a Brooklyn park stroll, and I’ve also kept it at the ready beneath a chore coat for days upstate.

Beyond that, I also wear the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Flex Henley as weekend loungewear. There’s hardly a time I don’t find myself reaching for a layer like this — and that’s a worthy addition to your own wardrobe. It’s versatile enough to do it all, it’s available in a series of easy-to-style colors, and the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Flex Henley will certainly prove wearable season after season. Layer up accordingly now, my friends.
