History of the Henley

The well-known actor Wallace Beery was the most famous early wearer of the soon-to-be popular Henley undershirt. He wore the Henley undershirt in so many movies that they named it after him. The Henley became popular after GIs returned from Vietnam with the military-issued undershirt. The new adopters, having spent their early years hearing their parents call it the “Wallace Beery Shirt,” continued with that name for a while. Eventually, it reverted to just being called a Henley, but for those in the know, it will always be a Wallace Beery shirt.
