Joe McCoy Union Henley Undershirt L/S Medium Gray Hot

A Ballpark Product, Inspired By The Vintage Henley Shirts That Were Popular With Union Workers Throughout The U.S. In The Pre-War Era. The Union Henley Undershirt L/S Is Crafted From Plain Rib Cotton, And Is Distinguished By Its Two-Tone Button Placket With Contrast Overlocking Finish, Closed With Urea Buttons.

Originating As An Undergarment Worn By 19Th-Century Englishmen, It Was Co-Opted By Rowers In The Royal Regatta, In The English Town Of Henley, Oxfordshire &Mdash; Giving The Shirt Its Name.

The Henley'S Practicality Extended Beyond Sportswear, Eventually Becoming A Uniform For Railroad And Factory Workers In Both England And America. Worn As A Layer Beneath Work Uniforms, It Reduced The Need For Frequent Washing Of Work Shirts And Overalls.
