What to Wear to a College Football Tailgate — Men's Complete Guide

Waffle-Knit Henleys: Thermal Texture & Rugged Layering

We regard the three-button waffle-knit henley as the single most versatile cold-weather base in a man's wardrobe. Its three-dimensional honeycomb texture traps insulating air while breaking up flat outerwear fabrics like denim, canvas, and heavy wool.
