Fabric Constructions
Every henley shirt specification starts with fabric construction. Each build has distinct hand-feel, GSM range, market positioning and decoration compatibility.
Single Jersey
Most PopularGSM_RANGE
160–200 GSM
HAND_FEEL
Smooth face, natural 4-way stretch, fine texture
Single jersey is the industry-standard construction for casual and fashion henleys. The smooth face provides excellent print registration for screen printing and DTG, while the natural 4-way stretch gives comfortable wear. Combed and ring-spun options produce tighter surface texture with improved print fidelity. Available in full PMS-matched colour range with reactive dyeing.
TECHNICAL_SPEC
100% combed cotton or cotton/polyester blend. GSM 160–200. Reactive dyed. Anti-shrink / compacted finish available. GOTS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 options.

Silhouettes
Fit selection is the single most important commercial decision in a henley programme. Each silhouette targets a distinct market position and buyer demographic.
“The same 180 GSM single jersey henley sells as workwear in Regular Fit and as premium streetwear in Oversized — construction stays the same, silhouette changes the story.”
