Hanes Henley Leads Fall Shirt Guide, With Prices From $10 to $70

A product guide published October 27 ranks the Hanes Long Sleeve Henley as the top men's shirt for fall, citing three sewn-in button closures at the neck and availability in solid and blocked colorways.

The guide prices fall shirts for men between $10 and $70. It lists brands including Hanes, Wrangler, Carhartt and Colombia, noting that these shirts typically come in beige, gray, green, navy blue and black, with some offering color blocking. Flannel shirts offer the widest range of color, since the plaid weave combines several colors.

The Amazon Essentials long-sleeve waffle tee is named the top choice for value. It uses 100 percent cotton, elasticized cuffs, a crew neckline and a straight hem, and is described as fitting true to size. Its color selection is limited to green, gray, blue and black.

The Wrangler Authentics flannel shirt jacket is listed as worth checking out for colder days. It has a sherpa lining made from a cotton and polyester blend, button closures and a relaxed fit. The guide notes the jacket has no waterproof or water-resistant properties.

The guide advises buyers to choose shirts with sewn-in buttons rather than snap buttons, so a shirt can be opened or closed as temperatures drop through the day.

Sherpa lining is described as a fluffy fabric resembling sheep's wool, usually made with cotton or polyester, and used inside shirt jackets to hold heat. The guide says flannels were created in England to handle cold, damp conditions, and that henleys were first designed for British rowers whose collars wore down over time.

On care, the guide says flannel shirts are often made with wool or cotton, and that high heat can shrink both fabrics. It recommends washing in cool water and air drying.

Chambray shirts are addressed for fall wear. The guide says they are lightweight on their own but work when layered under a wool sweater or flannel jacket.

The guide states it does not offer slim or tall varieties of the Hanes Henley. Prices listed reflect the date and time of publication and are subject to change.
