Style Pick of the Week: Buck Mason Curved Hem Henley – A Rugged Summer Style Classic

Best short-sleeve henley for men.

From time to time, you’ve simply got to keep classic menswear essentials at the forefront of your wardrobe (and your shopping search). For instance, in the heat of summer, there are ways to step out in style that are visually appealing and different from the everyday, like opting for a stylish curved hem henley as opposed to a classic crewneck tee or even a pocket T-shirt.

It’s a classic move, it’s the epitome of rugged style, and there’s one brand in particular you should trust to outfit you accordingly. That brand, of course, is Buck Mason, and if you read the blog on the regular, I’d hope you know them very well indeed.

What makes the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley a must-buy? There’s plenty going for it, especially as we move into the hotter climes of summer. The sporting roots of the henley shirt are a nice touch, to be sure, while the button placket frames the face and can be customized with any particular number of buttons (see how Ryan Gosling wears his favorite short-sleeve henley, for instance).

Best short-sleeve henley for men to buy now.

Now, we can’t all be as suave as Ryan Gosling, but any time a celeb of such esteem wears a rugged style classic, it’s a move worth emulating — and the even better news is, you needn’t spend an arm and a leg on the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley. Sure, it’s decidedly more expensive than a standard 3-pack of T-shirts at $68, but if you’ve tried out Buck Mason men’s T-shirts, you know that the quality is worth the extra investment. And with the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley, it all starts with the fabric itself.

It’s a long-staple pima cotton for an exceptionally soft hand feel and a touch of durability, and this rugged henley is available in both classic colors (like Black, Heather Grey and Heather Oat), as well as an even softer Venice Wash option in a breezy, versatile Olive. And of course, there’s the curved hem itself — it’ll prove flattering on multiple body types — as well as the cuffed sleeves, a retro touch that also flatters your upper body and arms.

If it seems like the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley checks all the right boxes, that’s because, well, it does. In my experience, the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley fits exceptionally well, drapes comfortably and retains its shape, and feels super-soft to the touch. That sounds like a summer menswear essential to buy now, does it not? Get out there and shop accordingly, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Layer Up with Nearly 50 Percent Off This Tecovas Henley

Best classic henley for men.

From time to time, I’d say the world of men’s style comes down to going just a step further beyond the ordinary. For example: Austin-based Tecovas makes some of the best Western boots for men on the market, sure, but they also do an outstanding job as of late making rugged Western apparel for guys — the sort that pairs perfectly with the brand’s stylish Western boots, of course.

And that brings us to today’s Tuesday Steal: A deal on one of the best henleys, one that brings a classic pick to nearly 50 percent off. Yes indeed, 50 percent off on a menswear essential you can buy now, wear now and then continue to rock into spring? That’s about as good as it gets. It’s the Tecovas Last Call section where you’ll find the henley in question, a cotton slub henley for nice texture and breathability, plus an eye-catching Brick color that can help shake up a wardrobe filled with shades like navy and grey (guilty as charged!).

Best men's cotton henley.

The Tecovas Cotton Slub Henley features all the classic trappings of a henley made for both laidback comfort and a bit of work here and there: The brand says the pima cotton weave resists abrasions and wrinkles, while ribbed cuffs at the wrist deliver a snug fit. The Tecovas Cotton Slub Henley (marked down to $29 from $54) is a downright steal as a base layer beneath, say, your favorite denim shirt or a waxed jacket come spring — or right now — while the four-button placket is a nice change of pace from two or three-button henleys.

As a nice bonus, the hem on the Tecovas Cotton Slub Henley is curved ever so slightly for a flattering fit. And again, it’s worth keeping in mind that your new favorite henley is an absolute steal of a price, so you’d do well to ease this piece into your style rotation ASAP.

The Thursday Buy: This Billy Reid Cotton Henley is One of the Best Casual Shirts for Fall

Best men's henley for fall

Now that we’re — very nearly — into October, hopefully, you’ve got a rotation of some of the best fall style essentials all sorted out. But there’s always room for more when shopping the right way, agreed? That’s where Alabama-based menswear designer Billy Reid enters the equation. The designer is a personal favorite of your Brooklyn style writer for his modern approach to the classics, blending rugged and refined the right way — as with the Billy Reid Cotton Lous Henley, easily one of the best henleys for men on the market this fall.

Satchel and Page

The Billy Reid Sueded Cotton Louis Henley is a perfect example of what the award-winning designer does best. That approach? Using premium materials to take a tried-and-true classic like one of the best men’s henleys and ramping things up a notch in terms of quality. Billy Reid did the same thing with one of the best men’s Western shirts this season, to be sure, and the Billy Reid Louis Henley does that just as well.

Best fall henley for men.

Crucially, this stylish henley for men is made in Peru from 100 percent cotton, for the sort of layering potential that works underneath a classic Billy Reid shirt — or else a flannel shirt jacket or even one of the best men’s waxed jackets. The four-button placket on your new favorite henley is also a cool design touch that gives this shirt a bit more of a refined feel — you could certainly wear it with one of the best fall blazers, too.

The rest of the time though, this rugged men’s henley is essential, well-designed, very well-made and certainly worth the higher price tag (it retails for $128 at Billy Reid). Better still is the fact that one of the best henleys for men comes in a wide variety of wear-with-anything colors. You’ve just found your new favorite casual shirt for fall and winter, my friends.
