A classic for underneath. Our 1936 Waffle Shirt is built for colder days – warm, breathable, and made to last.
The roots of waffle fabric go back to the 19th century, when British craftsmen developed it for workers and rowers who needed warmth without overheating. Its distinctive grid structure traps air and stores body heat while staying breathable – simple, effective, and proven over time.
By the early 1900s, waffle shirts became a standard layer for workers, soldiers, and anyone exposed to the elements. Worn under uniforms during both World Wars, they earned their reputation as reliable cold-weather gear.
Originally designed as pure underwear, waffle shirts gradually made their way into everyday wear. What started as a functional base layer became a staple – valued for its durability, comfort, and honest look.
Our 1936 Waffle Shirt follows that same idea: no extras, just a solid piece that does its job.
