For the untrammeled outdoorsman or urban minimalist, this is Brooklyn Tweed’s take on a perennial masculine favorite, the thermal Henley. Sawyer is worked in Shelter with a plush and textural fabric created by knitting into the row below. Set-in sleeves and seamed construction make this a long-wearing classic. Choose a tried-and-true menswear shade like Artifact or Almanac, go moody with Stormcloud, or inject some warm color into his wardrobe with Wool Socks (pictured) or Fauna.

Construction

The pieces are worked flat from the bottom up, and sewn together. The collar is picked up and worked during garment assembly. The button and buttonhole bands are worked separately at a tighter stitch gauge and sewn to each side of the placket opening and collar.
