What the f*** is a Henley?

The Henley Royal Regatta, a historic rowing competition, was first held in 1839, in the town of Henley, England, located on the Thames River. As it was, and still is, a Royal event, all rowers were required to wear formal regalia, meaning that all competitors would have to row in bulky coats, undershirts and ties. However, the crew members quickly realized that they couldn't row properly in these uncomfortable button down undershirts.

Thus, the Henley was born. Worn as an undergarment, all competitors of the Henley Royal Regatta donned the three button placket Henley shirt, giving the rowers much more ventilation, increasing their ability to perform. 

More than 200 years later, the Henley shirt is still a fashion staple, known for its versatility and timeless elegance. 

Love your friends. Wear Henley's
