I need more henleys in my life, so throw out some brands that make henleys and say a thing or two about why you like them.
So far I can think of: Iron Heart 3sixteen Knickerbocker Mfg Filson Studio D'artisan Wings and Horns Pistol Lake
I only own 2 long sleeve henleys by 3sixteen and I love them. They're relatively inexpensive and the fit works for me, but I did size up to an xl to account for shrinkage. I've looked at Knickerbocker's henleys too but the sleeve length seems a tad short on their offerings.
Can anyone else chime in on henley brands you like and why?

I'm a fan of IH thermal henleys. I don't really care much for lighter weight henleys, so can't comment there, but on the other end, I haven't found anything heavier, or with a better fit than the IH. I'd like to see them add some more colors into the mix though. I'd like to try a Studio D'artisan heavy indio, but unfortunately the sizing on those is too small chest wise.

For warm weather Henleys Pistol Lake Minimalist Henleys are the best, especially the short sleeve versions. Great athletic fit and the fabric is super nice and they make great colors. They are made with Eudae fabric which is some kind of hybrid with Eucalyptus fibers. There's a brief description in the link below. They aren't cheap for a light weight Henley but well worth it. Link to short sleeve version: www.pistollake.com/products/minimalist-short-sleeve-henley?variant=13775957557360. For cooler weather I like the 3sixteen's, hands down. Great fit and material. For thermal Henleys I do like the Iron Hearts but I haven't picked up a 3sixteen thermal Henley yet so I think I will probably prefer them based on fit once I do grab one. |

I'd put PBJ on your list, too--Really cool fabrics.
I always like when company's 'elevate' the henley (unique tonal buttons, differentiate the placket, make the collar not look like underwear) so it can look good on its own or with layers.
Need to try IH's--they look really good with after market tonal buttons swapped

Anyone like Stevenson Overall henleys? Worth the price? Warm? Really like the one Stevenson henley I own, its thick but for warmth, wool is the way to go. For price justification, I feel it's reached in their cool unique fabric/weave and attention to unique details--frabric wrapped buttons that will develope sick fades, brah! But it's always a leap of faith if you can't try it on in person as the return policies aren't the best at their few vendors--lame |

Think I'll save my money, and instead buy yet another expensive sweatshirt 😂 |

I'm happy with my National Athletic Gear crew sweatshirts and 3sixteen for hoodies (indigo supposed to drop this Winter) |

I'm happy with my National Athletic Gear crew sweatshirts and 3sixteen for hoodies (indigo supposed to drop this Winter) Strike Gold man.... embrace the short length and boxy fit, hike the straight legs up to compensate if you ever need to. Looks great for me and is an awesome change of pace. Buzz Rickson is also nice, not nearly as thick or warm as Strike Gold but nice. I don't wear shirts under my sweatshirts most of the time anymore, the fabrics are just so soft and comfortable. The Stevenson freedom sleeve may be my next choice. |

OK, I'll try some TFH sweatshirts on next time I'm in PDX. And going commando right now with my NAG, Haha too soft not to! |

Hemen Biarittz makes interesting Henley's, but the fit is weird.

I've been kinda put off by PBJ's weird fits. I'll have to investigate their henleys though. When it comes to the look of a henley I don't really need anything fancy. I think this is why I like 3sixteen's henleys -- they're pretty basic and serve my needs. |

I think this is why I like 3sixteen's henleys -- they're pretty basic and serve my needs. 3sixteens "basics'' (T's, Henleys, Thermals, Hoodies) are classic staples IMO. Fits are generally great with a few minor exceptions and they are just solid. I also like that their black hoody is murdered out with black hardware and drawstring....it's a minor touch that makes all the difference in the world. Gives the hoody a much sharper, smarter look and I've only found one other brand that has a murdered out black hoody. Merz B Schwanen fits don't work for me, at least on their T's anyways. I wasn't impressed considering the price range. |

I kind of want their short sleeve sweatshirt that has orange and white. A somewhat local place to me carries it at a decent price too.
Their other stuff hasn't struck my fancy though.

My favorite henleys are a little out there, but I love Indigofera's Hank Granddad henley, and High Grade U.S. Standard's Battle Mountain Miner's henley. I also am a fan of LVC's Sunset henleys... but definitely not their recent stuff. |

The one thing I dislike about the look of their henleys is the neckline. It looks like a scoopneck which is something women typically wear. |
