If you're an active person but not always fond of all things shiny and modern, consider the old classic Henley shirt as your everyday go-to. This merino wool shirt is classically stylish but also highly practical – it works well both on its own and as an undershirt.
- Material: 80/20% merino wool/polyamide
- Fabric weight: 250g/m2
- 19.5 microns
- Thumbholes in sleeves (optional to use)
- Suitable as both an undershirt and a top layer
Shirts like these have been made for ages, so the design is old but proven. The Henley shirt used to be one of the most common types of undershirts and has retained its edge to this day – for good reason. Like in the olden days, our shirt has a casually practical cut: it fits just right, has a bit of length at the hem, and thumbholes at the cuffs. There are buttons on the collar. The sleeves are raglan-style, so there are no irritating seams, and even if the shirt was a bit oversized, it still looks good.
The Henley shirt design is old and proven – it pairs stylishly with modern clothing too!
Made of quality Merino wool
80% merino wool, 250 g/m2 / 7.4 oz/yd2, mixed with 20% polyamide for durability. These are moisture-wicking, dry fast, and are self-rinsing. They are also machine-washable, but washing is usually unnecessary – wool cleans itself. If you have to wash, it can be done at 40°C / 104°F. Don't leave them in a wet lump after washing. Reshape them gently while still damp. When not in use, air them out and give them a good shake after that. You only need to wash the clothes if you see stains or they start to smell really bad. This usually requires lots of continuous use without airing. The polyamide content is small enough not to get noticed, except as increased durability in the long run. The wool on these feels so fluffy and nice, you just gotta love it.
Mulesing free
We only use mulesing-free Merino wool in our products.
Size info
In the dropdown box you'll find first recommended user's height, then chest circumference in centimetres. Very simple. The material stretches easily and these are cut more loosely than other shirts of this type sold in department stores. If you're looking for a closer fit (like T-shirt sizes), you might want to choose a smaller shirt. We intentionally designed a more relaxed fit, but people (incl. the staff here) seem to like it tighter.
Please note: All product pictures show a smaller shirt than officially recommended.
For those looking for hard data to make an educated choice, here's a chart with the actual measurements of the shirts themselves:

Pro tip: The sleeves are very long thanks to the thumbhole extensions. This means if you are over 190 cm (6*3") tall, this should still fit if you don't use the thumbholes.
Made in the EU
These are made in Lithuania to our specs.

I would rather go down one size to get a better fit.
Still, a nice merino henley that feels good against the skin.
Would recommend it, but probably one size smaller.

Over the L2
I found the 'normal' fit under the flannel shirts just fine. I'm 175/95, and I have both the henley and the flannel shirt in medium regular. I can wear the henly under the woolen shirt perfectly comfortably.
I can't comment on the L2. I don't own one of those.
The L1 t-shirt fits under the other two just fine, again in the normal medium size.
And I would assume the L1 is about the same kind of fabric as the L2.
The Särmä TST L1 and L2 almost the same as both have 80/20 merinowool and polyester mix. Also if you wish to use the henley with TST L2 then I'd suggest putting the henley on over it as Shane pointed out earlier.
