Lot JG-CS01 1890 - 1910 Miner's Henley - Beige, Yellow

Warehouse & Co. - Lot JG-CS01 1890 - 1910 Miner's Henley - Beige, Yellow

This was the Warehouse piece of the spring for us. The first thing that caught our eye was that ribbed collar. Its pattern drew us in and the stripes kept on giving. We honestly couldn't beleive how heavy the knit was in person. They've brushed the outside of the fabric to give it even more warmth on the coldest days. This piece could honestly be your final layer on a 40° day. 

In the early 1900s, a durable knit garment emerged, primarily utilized by outdoorsmen, including loggers, miners, and prospectors, who spent considerable time in the great outdoors. Renowned for its exceptional quality, this knitwear resembled a sweater in construction, originating from the cuffs and extending up to the sleeves.

However, as the 20th century progressed, this type of garment transitioned into more practical cut-and-sewn work clothes. Crafting traditional sweaters proved to be both costly and time-consuming, leading to the adoption of a new approach. To ensure widespread accessibility, John opted for 100% cotton fabric instead of wool, delivering a comfortable and easy-to-maintain alternative (and much preferred for us).

Excitingly, this innovative adaptation promises to be a game-changer, making the garment more versatile and widely embraced. But please, for your safety, refrain from venturing into the mines. ;)

We recommend a cold water wash and dry flat. If you have any woes about sizing or the wash process in general, definitely size up to the next size. 

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a Large in this shirt. Although these are longer, they fit a lot like the tee shirts - small. We recommend sizing up at least once to account for shrinkage. We really like the fit going up just once in these. You could size up twice though with the addition of extra sizing in the JG lineup. Tommy is 5'10," 180lbs with a 40" chest.
