The Bistre Henley
The Bistre Henley
The weight of every fabric is chosen on purpose, for how it drapes and the job each piece has to do.
220gsm textured cotton.
Three-button placket, short sleeve.
Collarless, so it sits clean on its own or under a layer.
Cold machine wash. Line dry.
A henley in a fabric you notice by hand, not by print. Texture doing the work a logo can't. Made to remain.
Weight: 220gsm. Everyday weight, textured.
Cut for a clean, considered fit. Take your usual size. Garment-washed and pre-shrunk, so expect under 2% shrinkage on a first cold wash.
The Blueprint: fabric & care
Knit at 220gsm from a textured cotton with quiet surface interest that catches light without shine. The three-button placket is cut clean and reinforced to lie flat, open or closed. Weight enough to structure the shoulder, soft enough to wear all day.
Why the weight matters. A lighter knit clings and shows everything under it. We build with enough mass to fall in a clean line and hold it. Combed, long-staple cotton keeps the surface smooth and cuts down on pilling. A little elastane, where we use it, gives the knit some memory, so it returns to shape instead of bagging at the collar, cuff and hem.
Considered construction. Cotton-first cloth, with no performance coatings and no anti-odour tech. Blends earn their place: a touch of elastane where recovery matters, nothing else. Pre-shrunk, double-needle set, seams sewn to lie flat.
Caring for it. Wash cold, inside out, with like colours. Skip the tumble dryer. Dry flat or on a low line to protect the shape and the weight. Warm iron if you like a crisp finish.
The Tervan Promise. Wear it, wash it, live in it. If the fit isn't right, you have 14 days and we cover the return pickup, with no forms to argue with. And on the rare day a piece falls short of the standard we set, we make it right. That's the whole promise.
