Style Pick of the Week: Filson Waffle Knit Henley – The Right Way to Layer for Early Fall

Best henley for men.

It seems as though it was only yesterday we were talking about the best summer style essentials here on this menswear blog, but it’s never too soon to start dreaming of crisp weather, leaves underfoot and of course, a wardrobe packed with the best fall style essentials.

I like to build my fall wardrobe from the ground up, so to speak — tough leather boots, a great pair of jeans and often, a trusty base layer like one of the best henleys for men. And in this day and age, it’s tough to get much, well, tougher and more stylish than Filson and the Filson Waffle Knit Henley.

It’s a rugged layer that’ll come in handy before you know it, whether it’s worn beneath a rugged flannel shirt or alongside your favorite trucker jacket (one from Filson would assuredly come in handy). The Filson Waffle Knit Henley is an icon in the cold-weather rotation from the lauded Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter, made with a blend of Peruvian cotton in a durable waffle-knit weave.

The two-button collar of the Filson Waffle Knit Henley gives you options in terms of customizing your fit, and it doesn’t hurt that the light heather gray color will team with just about anything in your wardrobe (indigo Filson jeans very much included). It’s also the type of staple suitable for work — crisp fall days in the yard — or play, so to speak (tailgate layering, anyone?).

And because it hails from Filson, the Filson Waffle Knit Henley is about as durable as it gets, at least in my experience with the brand. Preparing for fall just got substantially easier, all thanks to a rugged favorite from an iconic brand.

Best long-sleeve henley for men.

There comes a time in every guy’s life when he’s got to buckle down and get to business wearing the best menswear essentials — even if “business” mostly revolves around laidback, leisurely summer hangouts on a cool evening. And the tools for that particular job? Count one of the best men’s henleys among them, a rugged staple piece meant for easy layering, lounging and more.

That’s especially the case when that stylish henley for men is done by Sea Culture Brand, the upstate New York purveyor of casually cool, beach-ready style essentials. The Sea Culture Tobacco Bay Henley in a rich indigo is a handsome, stylish winner, and it’s the perfect addition to your beach bag and your weekender bag as you plot your next breezy, seaside outing.

In fact, this soft cotton henley — in my experience — works as well when layered beneath a lightweight buttondown or your favorite zip hoodie as it does when worn on its own.

The distinctive indigo dye of the Sea Culture Tobacco Bay Henley comes from natural tea waste, while coconut buttons also offer both durability and a sense of eye-catching, off-duty style. Your new favorite henley (again, that’s the Sea Culture Tobacco Bay Henley) is an investment at nearly $100, but it’s not a bad call in my book when it comes to rugged, comfortable layering on a (surprisingly) brisk evening.

Filson, in my experience, is a brand you can trust to cover just about any category, be it one of the best lightweight buttondown shirts, a full lineup of hard-wearing Filson waxed jackets or even stylish indigo denim that gets better with age. And what wears well with all of those rugged men’s style essentials?

Best henley T-shirt for men.

The use of 6.5oz. jersey knit cotton gives this stylish henley T-shirt some texture and a substantial look and feel, never a bad thing if you want either a base layer or a versatile shirt to rock on its own. You’ll also find that the Filson Frontier Henley T-Shirt boasts a rib-knit collar that’ll hold its shape over time, all the while standing up to layering beneath a Filson twill shirt or field jacket.

And whether in Heather Grey or classic Black, I certainly appreciate touches like a Filson logo at the placket. Button up that three-button placket or unbutton it as you wish — the Filson Frontier Henley T-Shirt can stand up to denim shirting, breezy spring shirt jackets or simply your favorite pair of dark tan chinos and high-top canvas sneakers. Again, when the going gets tough, the tough wear something like the Filson Frontier Henley T-Shirt.

The Thursday Buy: This Rugged Buck Mason Thermal Henley Is Your Go-To Casual Layer The Rest of Winter

Best thermal henley for men.

What’s more indispensable in a menswear wardrobe than something that’s functionally rugged, timeless and yes, stylish? Something like one of the best men’s henleys should fit the bill nicely, don’t you agree? That’s my estimation at least, and your Brooklyn style writer is wearing a classic thermal henley as this post is being penned. And if you’re looking for a way to amplify your own winter wardrobe in a way that’s warm and wearable day in and day out, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley is certainly your best bet.

Shop New Arrivals from Billy Reid

The excellent Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley is a departure from Buck Mason curved hem henleys in a few notable ways (note the straight hem in particular), so take note of those details if you’re a fan of that style. That being said, because it’s all-American retailer Buck Mason, with a distinct sense of throwback quality and dependability, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley should more than pass muster for your durable winter layering needs.

Of course, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley wouldn’t be a reliable winter layer without the right fabric, and it’s a sturdy double-knit ribbed cotton in a waffle weave that provides insulation and a nice weight. Ribbed cuffs provide a snug fit at your wrists (another underrated touch in terms of insulation from winter breezes), and for good measure, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley boasts corozo buttons. The three-button placket itself is also woven — note the contrast between the shirt and the placket itself — for a nice stylistic touch.

And like seemingly everything sold by the standout team at Buck Mason, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley comes in a range of cool, pleasingly faded, classic colors meant to match up with mostly anything (but especially faded Buck Mason jeans or Buck Mason chinos). Pair the Black or Anchor colorways of the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley with tan, olive or black jeans or chinos, and look to do much the same with the faded Venice Wash editions of your new favorite henley.

Best thermal henley for men.

Wear it at home on its own, layer the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley beneath the best shawl cardigan, or take it on the road with a waxed trucker jacket. When you need a cozy layer to keep you going this season, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley is your next rugged style move.

Like most other Huckberry gear picks, the Flint and Tinder Surplus Long-Sleeve Henley is priced right for the quality and utility — it’ll run you $68 at Huckberry. That’s certainly more than a bargain henley or a standard cotton undershirt, but this Huckberry henley has more substantial fabric and wearability than something on the cheaper side of the equation. A contrast placket and stitching really lends itself to the military surplus inspiration behind the rugged and durable Flint and Tinder Surplus Long-Sleeve Henley, which is never a bad thing to have in your wardrobe. Before you throw on your trusty spring chore coat or denim jacket, make sure the Flint and Tinder Surplus Long-Sleeve Henley is your base layer of choice.
