If you thought we were out of the woods just yet when it comes to starting your #OOTD off with a reliable, rugged base layer, think again: Spring (technically a few weeks out just yet) is prime time for relying on durable, tough selections to start off your next ensemble the right way.

Take one of the best henleys for men, which should prove as wearable beneath a denim shirt as with your favorite field jacket or a casually cool bomber jacket. And the good news is, the brand that makes some of your favorite boots for spring has you covered in remarkable fashion right now — thank Wolverine for crafting a surprisingly affordable, stylish men’s henley with easily wearable appeal.

The Michigan-based workwear pioneers at Wolverine have built a legacy on some of the sturdiest boots for men, be it the company’s insulated work boots, tough-as-nails moc toe boots or the iconic Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots, always a classic in at least three seasons (if you, like me, simply can’t get enough when it comes to your stylish leather boots, Wolverine is the brand for you). But back to one of the best henleys for men, which you can find now at the Rockford, Mich. company for under $40.

The Wolverine Walden II Thermal Henley, a favorite of country music star and Wolverine partner Jordan Davis, delivers the kind of dependable performance, comfort and of course, rugged appeal that your wardrobe needs. The traditional fit and thermal-knit waffle construction are specifications you can count on, whether layered beneath a chambray shirt or teamed with a tough waxed trucker jacket.

A fit that’s cut specifically with room through the shoulders and chest should make this a tried-and-true workwear piece, along with the raglan sleeve construction of the durable Wolverine Walden II Thermal Henley. The three-button placket also allows you to customize your fit: Button it up all the way for protection against brisk spring breezes, or leave it unbuttoned a touch for more air flow on and off the job site (it’s the little things that make the difference, after all).

Available in timeless colors like Dark Navy, Stone and Black (Stone is a personal favorite of this writer), this hard-working henley should prove just what your next laidback #OOTD needs — whether paired with indigo blue jeans or tan canvas work pants on the clock or in the garage.

Particularly when teamed up with hard-wearing Wolverine men’s boots, I’d say you’ve found the right approach when it comes to a carefully crafted, workwear-inspired base layer from a tried-and-true brand, to say the very least.
