Forest 2M06 Mid-Century Long Sleeve Henley

The henley built on a mid-century knitting machine Merz pulled out of retirement. Reinforced woven placket, mother-of-pearl buttons, flat-knit cuffs, and the same triangle underarm insert you get on the loopwheeled tees.

Knit in Albstadt, Germany from GOTS-certified organic cotton. 6.8 oz of 2-thread organic cotton jersey, 230 gsm. Broader in the shoulders than the 215, slightly shaped at the waist, a refined fit that sits cleanly under a layer or stands on its own. The kind of long-sleeve you reach for from October through April.

Sizing runs small. If you're a medium elsewhere, you want a size 6 (LG) here. Not pre-shrunk, so expect about 3/4" (2 cm) off the length after the first cold wash. Worth knowing going in.

Forest is a deep green that reads almost black from across the room and green up close. It sits with brown leather, olive and navy as easily as black does, with a little more character.
