Flint and Tinder Henley | Premium American-Made Long Sleeve
Our flagship henley is the shirt we built Flint and Tinder around — authentic American craftsmanship meets timeless design. Cut from premium ringspun cotton and sewn in Los Angeles, this henley delivers the durability and comfort you expect from garments made the right way.
We designed every detail to last: reinforced shoulder seams, genuine corozo buttons that won't crack or fade, and a mid-weight fabric that holds its shape season after season. Whether you're layering under a jacket or wearing it solo on the weekend, this henley becomes softer with every wash while maintaining its structure. It's the kind of shirt you'll reach for year-round — versatile enough for the office on casual Friday and rugged enough for a weekend project.

Fabric & Construction Details
We source premium ringspun cotton for our Flint and Tinder henley because it offers the perfect balance of strength and softness. Ringspun cotton is spun longer and finer than standard cotton, creating a smoother surface that resists pilling and feels better against your skin from day one.
Every henley is cut and sewn in our Los Angeles facility where experienced sewers reinforce stress points at the shoulders, sides, and button placket. We use a four-button placket with genuine corozo buttons — a natural material harvested from tagua palm nuts that’s more durable than plastic and develops a unique patina over time. The collar is ribbed for structure, and all hems are double-stitched to prevent unraveling. Our mid-weight 5.5 oz fabric provides year-round versatility without the bulk of heavyweight alternatives you’ll find in our heavyweight henley collection.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Our henley follows a modern tailored fit — shaped through the chest and waist without being restrictive. We cut the body slightly longer than standard tees so it stays tucked when you move, but it’s designed to be worn untucked for a clean look.
The sleeves are set at a natural shoulder seam and taper gently toward the cuff without feeling tight. Most customers find their true size fits perfectly, though if you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up. The fabric is pre-shrunk and tested through 50 wash cycles, so expect minimal size change over time. Check our detailed size chart for chest, length, and sleeve measurements — we provide both body measurements and garment dimensions to help you find your ideal fit.
Care Instructions & Longevity
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat. The ringspun cotton will soften naturally with each wash while maintaining its structural integrity — no special treatment required.
Avoid bleach and harsh detergents that can weaken natural fibers over time. If you notice any loose threads after washing, trim them close to the fabric rather than pulling. The corozo buttons are naturally water-resistant, but they’ll develop a beautiful worn patina after months of wear and washing. For best results, turn the henley inside-out before washing to protect the outer surface and buttons from friction. Many of our customers report wearing their henleys three to five years with regular weekly use — proper care extends that timeline even further.

Henley Fit, Fabric & Care Questions
Our standard long sleeve henley uses a mid-weight 5.5 oz ringspun cotton that's versatile for three-season wear. The heavyweight version features a thicker 7 oz double-layer cotton construction designed specifically for colder weather and maximum durability. Both are made in the USA with the same quality standards — choose based on your climate and how you plan to wear it.
Our henley follows a modern tailored fit with room to move. It's shaped through the chest and waist without being restrictive or overly slim. The shoulder seams should sit at your natural shoulder line, and you should be able to comfortably layer a tee underneath if desired. If you prefer a looser fit or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Check our size chart for specific chest and shoulder measurements.
The fabric is pre-shrunk and tested through 50 wash cycles before production, so you'll see minimal size change with proper care. We recommend washing cold and tumbling dry on low heat to maintain the original fit. Most customers report the henley maintains its size and shape over months of regular wear and washing, though the cotton will soften naturally over time.
The mid-weight cotton makes this henley ideal for spring through fall in most climates. It's substantial enough to wear solo on cool evenings but breathable enough for mild days. In winter, it layers perfectly under jackets and sweaters without adding bulk. Customers in warmer climates wear it year-round, while those in colder regions prefer it as a three-season piece or layering option.
Corozo buttons are made from tagua palm nuts, a natural and renewable resource. They're more durable than plastic buttons, won't crack or warp in the wash, and develop a unique patina over time. They also have a premium weight and feel that matches the quality of the garment. We choose corozo for both its sustainability and longevity — these buttons will outlast the fabric itself.
With proper care, customers regularly report wearing our henleys for three to five years with weekly use. The reinforced seams, quality stitching, and durable ringspun cotton are designed for long-term wear. The fabric actually improves with age — becoming softer while maintaining its structure. Washing cold and avoiding harsh detergents will maximize the lifespan of your henley.
Our sizing is consistent with most American brands, and we provide detailed measurements in our size chart to help you choose. The fit is tailored but not slim — most customers find their normal shirt size fits perfectly. If you're between sizes or prefer a roomier fit for layering, size up. We also offer free returns, so you can try the fit risk-free and exchange if needed.
