Product Insights
Wales Bonner's unisex Nile Rib-Knit Henley, a John Smedley collaboration, offers a soft ivory wool knit that blurs masculine and feminine through mid-century sportswear references, worn by Jacob Elordi in Esquire. Its rib-knit construction provides stretch, shape recovery, and pilling resistance, delivering breathable warmth and layering capability without bulk. A regular fit reduces sheerness, but dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric, and the ecru color reveals subtle tonal variation.
