When you buy henleys they normally only have standard type colours though. So Taupe? Olive Green? Eggplant purple doesnt reall mean much im afraid to say?

I went in a shop today there were, Brown, black, off white, natural (which is a light sand yellow type colour), navy, blue, green, grey, light grey henleys. There was no taupe, olive green or eggplant purple.

MJK? Teger? Bueller? Bueller?

Considering the henley warrants two threads on SF, I would say it is deserving of it's own SF collabo.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm on a serious mission to find the perfect henley. I just ordered this beaut from J. Crew: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/p...spun/39984.jsp

What do you guys think? What's the best henley you've owned, or seen? I'm looking for something cut slim, and more substantial than a basic tee. Thoughts?

Your avatar is my favorite album. I like AA baby rib henleys, but I'm a total plebe. edit: I also tried the Alt A henleys, and the one I got - I think it was this - was too short in the sleeves and kind of wide in the body, and the buttons were really rubbery.
