        Can you guys recommend some decent long sleeve henleys? I was thinking of going with my old standby, Reigning Champ, but am open to other brands.

        Depends on what weight you are going for.  If you are going for a nice light or midweight I like Pistol Lake.  If you are going for heavier then definitely Iron Heart.

            For layering I get them from LL Bean. The cotton and thermal ones. They currently have a 20%off promotion running. Obviously not IH quality etc.

              How about these two?

              I like those, however, I'm leaning towards a cotton henley over a thermal one. Tough call because I really dig the black and the grey thermals.

                They are both 100% cotton.

                    Check out Pistol Lake.  Their "heavyweight" henley is nice and probably more of a midweight by our standards.  Their regular henleys are very nice too but much lighter.

                      how did you size on your henley from Pistol Lake? I'm eyeing the burnt taupe organic cotton henley but wasn't sure on sizing. I'm thinking i'd stick with my usual size large which I wear for tees

                        I bought 2 from them and decided to go a size larger than usual, and based on their size chart, went with XL. Got charcoal and clay.

                          the organic cotton henley is described as washed/preshrunk, so I don't know if i'd want to size up. I don't own any henleys, otherwise, i'd compare with their size chart

                            I'm just guessing that these are a slimmer more fitted cut than the LL Beans that I'm used to wearing.

                              I also recommend pistol lakes.baseball t's.

                                thanks. I'm a large in IH tops and based on the PL size chart i'd probably have to go down to a medium. do you find the henleys to be acceptable length, or do they seem long? i'm afraid the length on a large would be too long at 5'11.

                                  Relatively speaking these shirts are on the longer side and I love that.  One of my biggest pet peeves in the world are shirts that come up too short.  To me these hit the sweet spot….they have some good length to them but aren't so long that they look like pajama shirts....or those new trendy super long T shirts.  What's up with that btw?  Oh well, that's for another thread.

                                  I'm 6' for reference.

                                      Then I think a Large might be too long for you.

                                        Yes!  I've picked up 4-5 tee shirts recently and all of them came down to my mid-thigh.  I absolutely hate it.

                                          So BBC says in this article - http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-40498292

                                          "to grow 1kg of cotton consumes the amount of water you've drunk in your lifetime"

                                          &

                                          UK washing load - 6kg (13lb) of fabric - can release:

                                          140,000 fibres from polyester-cotton blend, nearly half a million fibres from polyester, more than 700,000 fibres from acrylic.

                                          So I have a question - How true is this?

                                          P.S> - I have tried hard, but I can't seem to add a hyperlink in this one. I add the URL within the square brackets as indicated, but it is not working. Any idea why?

                                            With regards to the fibers 'fact' I would be curious to know their definition of what constitutes a fiber.  Obviously it's not what you immediately think about as a fiber, as if that was the case this person's claims would mean every time you do laundry you pull out a mound of polyester tatters.

                                            With regards to the growth of 1KG of cotton.  That sounds like something Donald Trump would say.  #fakenews
