"Nashville brand Imogene + Willie is well known and deservedly lauded for its selvage denim, but it's other offerings often fly under the radar. Case in point, this pitch-perfect vintage-leaning thermal. Outside of Japan, I'm not sure anyone does vintage re-issues better than i+w, the brand's catalog is full of 50s and 60s references (and the occasional tried and true vintage piece). Here, the brand channels thermal underwear's military origins and uses just a hint of nylon to retain shape."
"In my opinion, J Crew always has been and always will be the best of the mall brands. This goes double for the brand's sub-label, Wallace & Barnes, which reissues classic workwear and Americana silhouettes with the production resources of a large brand. Read: durable, heritage quality for a very good price. Case in point, these honeycomb crewnecks, which are not technically a waffle, but pretty damn close, so we're allowing it."
Imogene + Willie produces vintage-leaning thermals that reference 1950s–60s military underwear, using 99% cotton and 1% nylon to retain shape and offering a women's version. J.Crew's Wallace & Barnes reissues classic workwear silhouettes with durable, heritage quality at accessible prices, exemplified by honeycomb crewnecks that closely mimic waffle knits. Knocker delivers an inexpensive, 100% cotton thermal positioned as functional underwear for workouts and home wear, forgiving of stains and heavy use. The three brands represent a range from premium, reissue-focused construction to practical, budget-friendly thermals for everyday use.
