Based on the classic Henley Collar T-shirt that was popular at the end of the 20th century, we've improved the cut and silhouette and redesigned the details to better fit Asian body types while still retaining the classic elements of the original.
The Henley Collar is a collarless, half-open design with 2 to 5 buttons in a vertical row across the chest. The neckline is in a Y-shape. T-shirts with this type of collar are called Henley shirts and look like collarless polo shirts.
The origin of the Henley neckline dates back to the 19th century in England. It was originally worn as underwear. The collarless design is cooler and more comfortable than a polo shirt, easier to put on and take off than a T-shirt, and reduces unnecessary friction during exercise. The half-open buttons provide more ventilation space when needed. This comfortable and functional garment was used as a uniform by rowing athletes in a small town called Henley on Thames on the River Thames in England, and was named the Henley Shirt.
In the 20th century, it spread from Britain to America, and became extremely popular in the 1940s, 1970s and 1990s.
