Here's a polo stock pic for a shirt under a henley sweater.

Haven't tried these but appears to be the all-in-one solution...

I remember an article several years back where a reporter went on a 12 hour night patrol with the Army Rangers. After 8 hours he had to be taken to the ER for severe foot injuries. Probably was using ****** socks with boots that weren't broken in enough and didn't change socks as they got wet from sweat.

Excellent, though these would be overkill for socal winters but thanks.

That's a polo with a popped collar under a henley. Do this. By all means.

Yeh, I pretty much wear standard grade Costco medium weight socks with my boots in the winter. All my relatives live in cold weather areas though so I have to have a beefier solution on hand.

I got my Fleece shawl-collar cardigan in the mail today. Is the fit supposed to be baggier? I ordered a large but am afraid I could do better w/ a medium. Anyone have a medium and want to size up to a large?

Unfortunately it was final sale, so I can't return it...

With douchey sweat pants as well.

All of these quotes sum up my thoughts. Better than I originally expected, but still not a good look at all IMO. Full pics would have been best, but I can use my imagination. That henley is still far too casual/sweatshirt-ish to be paired on top of that button down. If you were to use a henley of a different fabric perhaps, then maybe, but I'm still not convinced. Stick to wearing it as a layering piece under a button down/flannel, etc., or throw it on over a tee.

Robert where is your shirt from?

 

[Warren G.]

Absolutely. I always see pocket polos on deep discount at the stores.

Truth. I picked up one last year for around $10 if I recall correctly.

 

[bluemagic]

Why do they only have original fit in long sleeve pique polos? It angers me.

 

[Uker]

So which cardigan in your opinion is the best one out of the catalog ?

I'm trying to compare them online....and not really finding much in terms of variables lol

oh edit: also a stupid question probably but do their collared utility shirts have long tails on them ? or can they be worn without being tucked in ? Say with a sweater or something over it
