IHTL-1213 - Thermal Waffle Henley
-
I feel like going over bare skin would require more frequent washing lest the underarms get too spicy. I envisioned this being a single base layer but after getting my hands on them today I think over a tee is the way to go.
Unless anyone chimes in with bad dryer experiences I feel like a tumble could help put them back into shape after a wear and wash. They just arrived today and are wonderful. Can’t wait for some appropriate waffle weather.

@Matt I agree tumble drying would more or less just return them to their starting shape, ready to stretch back out through a few wears

Late to the game on Matt’s query, but don’t overthink these. I treat mine like I got them at Kmart. It’s expensive and exceptional, but at the end of the day it’s a base layer that should be treated as such. Years of doing so has not appreciably damaged any of mine in any way.

@mclaincausey I hear that. I am not an adherent to babying my IH stuff typically. Im a machine wash when they’re dirty type of guy and my standards for dirty are pretty loose. Smelly is probably a better qualifier. I only ask on these because the fabric is new to me and I went with my usual shirt size instead of sizing down. As the measurements were smaller. They fit perfectly out of the bag, I was just looking for some insight about longterm wear and care.
I’ll get some photos up eventually. I was motivated to get the black one because I thought it would look great with my 502 cargos. The grey one helped put me over the free shipping threshold. I wish we could get some indigo dyed ones…

There was a run of such–I would cop another one if Sirs](https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7898) Giles and @Alex could make it happen again.

Also late to respond, i have collected multiple sizes and colours of these through the years. I use them generally as bade layers and wash them as such. Couple of wears, then a wash.
They are probably my most washed bit of IH, and the oldest (six or seven years old?), must have been washed a hundred times or more. Still going strong.
No shrinkage on any kind of wash/dry.

If they don't, nothing to stop any of us from dipping a white one…. Or perhaps the gray, but I think the white is probably what they did.

Worn one for the first time in 65F under a light shirt. It was warm…….

@Richard first day in Annapolis where the high was in the 70's, 69's in the morning, decided it was pretend Fall time and rocked a thermal…was VERY warm.

I love the way the collar looks on so many fits in this topic. Not sure if it's a case of slim fit vs slightly looser, but just like the way it looks a little tighter and higher than other henleys I've seen that usually sit lower (if that makes any sense).
