the “henley” was originally designed as a men's undershirt and later adopted as the uniform of the rowers in the english town of henley-on-thames in the 1800’s. shaina mote's aki henley takes cues from the utilitarian and hard working details of this original design and updates them with an ultra flattering, slim fit cut with versatile deep button placket in an exceptionally soft cotton yarn. a purposeful base layer: wear all the way to the top or unbuttoned for different looks.
