If it looks like a T-shirt, feels like a T-shirt but has a button-placket, then chances are it’s called a Henley. But you can still care for it as easily as a T-shirt.

And that means machine-washing it on a cold setting - 30°C max with similar colours.

Before you do so, turn it inside out so that if the machine drum has a few sharp edges that try to hook up with your garment, at least the fibres on the visible side of your Henley won’t be damaged. The next level would be to use a laundry bag.

As for laundry detergents, we suggest going for a liquid one as the powdered varieties can leave marks on dark clothes. That goes for all your clothes, not just your Henley.

For the spin cycle, go for a max 800/900rpm setting. Any more wouldn’t dry it any quicker and only risks damaging the cotton fibres.

However tempting it may be, avoid wringing it out by hand after the wash as this could damage the fibres.

Let it air-dry away from direct sunlight, preferably laid flat.

Since 1 January 2024, the New French environmental legislation known as The AGEC Law stipulates transparency from our lot in the fashion industry so that you can make an informed purchase. As you can imagine, this is something that we fully support at Asphalte. So here's some additional information about our Short Sleeve Henleys:

• They’re 100% recyclable after being dismantled, which means that the day their services are no longer required every component can be fully recycled. If you stop wearing them for whatever reason, you might want to consider making someone else happy by passing them on to a friend, family member or donating them to a charity. The best way of reducing an item of clothing’s impact is by keeping it in circulation, and only recycling it when there really is no life or use left in it.
• No microplastics are released during washing. Unlike many garments, our Short Sleeve Henleys have been designed to not release any microplastics. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles of plastic that are released when worn or washed and have a negative impact on aquatic and land ecosystems**.**
• They do not contain any hazardous materials. They’re manufactured in compliance with strict standards aimed at eliminating the use of harmful substances and other chemical nasties.
• They do not contain any recycled materials. We try to incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Short Sleeve Henleys.

So there you have it, you now know everything there is to know about looking after your Henley. If we've missed something or you have any questions hit us up in the comment section below or here support@asphalte.com.

We'll be back in touch in a couple of weeks to see how you're getting on.

Until then,
