History of the Henley

The well-known actor Wallace Beery was the most famous early wearer of the soon-to-be popular Henley undershirt. He wore the Henley undershirt in so many movies that they named it after him. The Henley became popular after GIs returned from Vietnam with the military-issued undershirt. The new adopters, having spent their early years hearing their parents call it the “Wallace Beery Shirt,” continued with that name for a while. Eventually, it reverted to just being called a Henley, but for those in the know, it will always be a Wallace Beery shirt.

A proper Wallace Berry Henley!

So awesome to track down this timeless original style Henley shirt with the proper placket and large cat’s eye buttons instead of those puny buttons you find on fashion type versions available everywhere. This is what a real authentic Wallace Berry Henley undershirt is supposed to be! Off white slub cotton/wool mix makes it so traditional. Awesome! A+++

Best shirt

This is the second Wallace Berry shirt I’ve ordered because I couldn’t stop wearing the first one day after day and I needed to wash it. It’s the best!
