Shop Waffle Knit Shirts
INTO THE AM waffle knit shirts for men come as a long sleeve crew and a three-button henley, with a stretch-blend waffle texture that adds warmth without bulk.
Look closely at the fabric. All those small raised squares hold a thin layer of warm air next to you, which is why a waffle knit feels noticeably warmer than a plain long sleeve tee even though it isn't any thicker. It breathes, too. Good news on a 45-degree morning that turns into a 68-degree afternoon.
Waffle Knit Long Sleeve Shirts for Cold Mornings and Layering
Most people start with the crew. On its own it's a Saturday shirt: coffee run, hardware store, a walk with the dog. Throw an unbuttoned flannel over it in November and it does a second job. A shirt jacket on top in December, a third. The waffle texture peeks out at the neck and wrists, and honestly that small detail does a lot of work.
Colors? Black, charcoal, navy, indigo, brown, beige. Tall guys get their own length option on the crew, which keeps the hem past the belt line when you lift your arms.
Waffle Knit Henleys for Date Night and the Office
The henley is the dressier cousin. Same knit, plus a three-button placket. Two buttons open with dark jeans and boots works for dinner. Buttoned up one more under a navy blazer, it gets you through a casual Friday without anyone asking if you forgot it was a workday. Brown is what most shoppers search for. Fair enough, since it goes with denim, olive and khaki. Black is there if you want it sharper.
Waffle Knit Beanie for the Rest of Winter
And the beanie. Mid-weight acrylic, waffle textured, fold-over cuff. It packs into a coat pocket and comes in black, charcoal and navy.
Fit, Fabric and Care
Regular fit on both shirts, with a bit of stretch in the knit. Not tight. Not boxy. There's room to reach and turn, and still enough shape at the waist that nothing billows. Sizes go from S to 4XL, and the model in the photos stands 6'0" in a large.
Care is simple. Cold water, inside out, similar colors. Low heat in the dryer, or just hang it. Hot cycles are what flatten knit texture, so avoid those and the grid stays defined for a lot longer.
Waffle Knit FAQ
Is waffle knit warmer than a regular long sleeve tee?
At the same weight, yes. The raised grid traps air, so you get more warmth without more fabric. It still breathes indoors.
Should I get the waffle knit crew or the henley?
Mostly layering under flannels and jackets? Crew. It lies flat. If the shirt is usually your top layer, the henley's buttons make it look more finished.
Does the waffle knit crew come in tall sizes?
Yes, every size from S to 4XL has a Tall length option on the crew. The henley is regular length only.
What colors do the waffle knit shirts come in?
Crew: black, charcoal, navy, indigo, brown and beige. Henley: brown and black.
