What oversizing does to a placket
What oversizing does to a placket
Oversized changes what a placket has to do. On a close-cut henley the buttons sit under tension and the opening holds itself shut. Widen the chest and that tension disappears, so the placket falls open unless it is cut short and set high.
Both here are drafted for it. The jersey henley pairs a 116 cm chest with a 65 cm body, a wide and short ratio. Its shoulder drops to 58 cm so the seam lands on the upper arm.
Chest against body, at size M
At size M the Men’s Henley T-Shirt Long-Sleeve Oversized is 116 cm at the chest and 65 cm long, with a 58 cm shoulder and a 54 cm sleeve. It runs M to XL. Fabric is 96% polyester with 4% spandex. The spandex matters on an oversized cut, because a wide body with no recovery bags out at the elbows and stays there. Wash cold and let it hang dry.
The Henley Rib Sweater is the warmer one. A textured rib knit in 100% polyester, it has a three-button placket and measures 130 cm at the chest and 70 cm long at size M. Sizes run XS to L. Take your usual size. Dry it flat.
Short sleeves and plain long sleeves
For the short-sleeve version and the rest of the placket cuts see henleys.
For long sleeves without a placket see long-sleeve t-shirts and long-sleeve shirts.

How oversized are they?
At size M the jersey henley is 116 cm at the chest on a 65 cm body. The Henley Rib Sweater is 130 cm on a 70 cm body.
Will the placket gape?
It is cut short and set high for exactly that reason. A wide chest removes the tension that holds a standard placket closed.
Why polyester and spandex?
The 4% spandex gives recovery. An oversized body with no stretch bags out at the elbows after a few wears and never returns.
Which sizes are available?
The jersey henley runs M to XL. The Henley Rib Sweater runs XS to L.
