Ever worn a scratchy waffle shirt? Marine Layer created this: the softest waffle henley ever made (probably). It's a medium weight that's perfect for going between seasons, and has all the classic henley style that is great for layering under button downs well into fall. Hard to beat a classic done right.
This fabric is actually a double-knit: smooth on the inside with all the waffle texture out facing the world. By the way it's also amazingly soft and comfortable.
Marine Layer is a San Francisco-based clothing brand founded in 2009 by Mike Natenshon. The brand was born from Natenshon’s desire to recreate his favorite vintage t-shirt that his girlfriend had thrown away. He teamed up with his friend Adam Lynch, a textile engineer, to develop a custom fabric blend of pima cotton and micromodal, a sustainable fiber made from recycled beechwood.
Marine Layer is renowned for its ultra-soft fabrics and laid-back, coastal-inspired designs. The brand offers a wide range of apparel for men and women, including shirts, pants, dresses, swimwear, outerwear, and accessories. A key initiative is the Re-Spun program, which recycles old t-shirts into new ones, diverting over 475,000 tees from landfills and saving billions of gallons of water.
With over 40 stores across the U.S., Marine Layer combines comfort, style, and sustainability, embodying a “7-day weekend” ethos.
