About Us

Men's henleys are what we stock at https://teehubi.com, in short sleeves and long sleeves, for the part of a closet that sits between a plain tee and a button-front shirt. Everything is ready-made and held in stock, and Teehubi ships it from Ansonia, Connecticut, to addresses across the United States.

Everything Happens Above the Third Button

A henley makes most of its decisions for you and leaves one to you. The shoulders, the sleeves, and the body are a tee: a soft knit that sits on the frame without asking anything of it. Then the placket starts, a few inches of buttons running down from a collarless neck, and that short strip is the whole character of the shirt. Done up, it reads as a tee with a little structure at the top. Opened, it reads closer to a shirt, with a line down the chest and the neck showing. Three buttons, sometimes four, and the shirt changes its mind with them.

So that is where our attention goes when something is up for stocking. How far down the last button sits, because a placket that ends high stays neat and one that ends low shows more of the layer underneath. Whether the buttons are sewn through a reinforced strip or just the single knit, because the first kind stays put after a season of being done and undone. How the neckband behaves with the top button open, because a rib that is too soft folds outward and a rib that is too firm stands away from the collarbone. A henley that gets these few inches right can be worn open all day and never looks unfinished. One that gets them wrong looks like a tee someone forgot to close.

We think the reason the henley has lasted is that it asks so little. There is no collar to press and no cuff to fold, and still there is one small choice to make every morning. We stock for that choice.

Short Sleeves and Long Sleeves, Same Shirt Underneath

Our short-sleeve henleys sit in a mid-weight cotton jersey with a sleeve that ends above the elbow and a body cut to be worn untucked. They are the warm-weather half of the range and the one that goes under an open shirt when the day cools down. The colors run to heathers and quiet solids, so the placket does the talking and the rest of the shirt sits back.

Our long-sleeve henleys carry a bit more weight. Many are a waffle or a ribbed knit with a cuff that grips the wrist, which is what lets the sleeves be pushed up the forearm and stay there. The hem lands at the same spot as the short sleeve so the two layer the same way, and the placket runs the same depth, so a size that works in one works in the other. These are the cold-weather half: a first layer under a jacket, or the only layer on a day that does not need one.

Both carry the fit most men reach for in a henley, which is regular through the chest, easy through the body, and long enough that lifting an arm does not lift the hem with it. Sizing notes for each cut sit on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

What Gets Checked Before a Henley Goes Out

Stock arrives here before it is listed, and every shirt gets handled the same way. The buttons come first, one short tug on each to feel whether the thread holds and a look at the buttonholes for a loose bar tack. Then the placket is buttoned and laid flat on the table to see whether it lies straight or twists to one side, and unbuttoned to see whether the top edge rolls. A neckband gets stretched open with two fingers and let go, and it has to come back to shape on its own.

On the long sleeves, the cuffs get the same stretch test, and a waffle knit gets a pass of the hand across the front for pulled loops. On every shirt the two sleeves are held together to confirm they match in length, because a quarter inch of difference is invisible on a hanger and obvious on a body. Then the shirt goes back on the shelf with the placket buttoned, which is how it is packed, so it arrives flat instead of creased down the middle.

None of this takes long on one shirt. It is the reason a henley from here fits the way the listing says and keeps its buttons through the first few months, which is the part most people never get to check before they buy.
