Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I went on a quest on (the) Amazon to find the best henley shirt. I bought Dickies, Good Threads and Eddie Bauer. Here's what I found. The Dickies is the best choice for a rugged work shirt. It had the heaviest strongest cotton, washes well, and I've always found that the Dickies brand is a far better value across the board compared to its nearest competitor, Carhartt. You're getting the same thing at half the price. Of course, this isn't the "waffle" material like the following two. The Good Threads had the cheapest, lightest material. It aged and shrunk noticably after only one wash. This also had a slimmer fit. This might be good for layering, or pajamas, but it would be quickly destroyed in a work environment. Also, after laundering, it seems the heather effect is dulled. The Eddie Bauer is the best looking, with the unique heather waffle material which held up fine after a wash. It is thicker more substantial material than the Good Threads and shrunk only a little after the first wash. I would rather wear this for "good casual" than for work. I got the purple and the heather effect doesn't bleed away in the wash. Now if you want the beefiest of all henleys and can spare the cost, try the Camber X-treme jersey from AllSeasonsUniforms.com.
