Haha not full, I got free shipping + 15% student discount. Still a bit pricey, but the henley is a versatile piece so price/amount of wear= a decent value.

Brooklyn Circus just released a fantastic button-up henley with contrasting cuffs, and button-hole stitching. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, kind of a cross between a henley and a more formal shirt, but check it out. Runs small so size up. Got one in XL and it measures about 22" at chest. http://thebkcircus.com/2011/05/the-bkc-henley/

^ Yeah, one of the Street Etiquette guys wore one in a recent post. Looked interesting. Not exactly what I think of as a henley, but a cool shirt nonetheless.

Design wise it looks a little like a priests tunic on it's own.
I have to play around with layering it...

I like Sunspel Henleys right now.

Use to wear lots of Wings and Horns, but I prefer the silky material of Sunspel.

Good to know. I like W+H Henleys, will check Sunspels.

My favorite are Homespun. Nice slim fit.

I like Homespun, but not such a fan of the material.

How does it hold up? It feels similar to Wings and Horns and my W+H Henleys started to pill pretty fast.

They hold up ok. If I feel them stretching, I just throw it in the dryer, shrink it up a bit.

Sunspel and Schiesser Revival are my favorites. Merz b Schwanen seems to be good quality too.
