The verdict
Fit
Henleys tend toward slimmer, more defined silhouettes. The Boy likely fits close to body but with some structure. Typical of Citizens of Humanity's tailored approach; size true unless you prefer loose fits.
Quality
At $188 for a henley, construction must be flawless with tight neckline closure and reinforced button placket. Expected finish for premium ready-to-wear.
Is the price fair?
Premium pricing for a basic henley with no documented fiber advantage. The cost is almost entirely brand positioning and tailoring; consider whether the fit justifies the spend.
Best for
Shoppers deeply committed to a single brand's fit and willing to pay premium prices for tailored basics.
Care
Henley buttons and plackets need care; button-down or wash cold to prevent placket stress.
Fit check: Citizens of Humanity
Runs largeCitizens of Humanity tends to run about half a size large and stretches with wear, so most owners size down for a fitted look.
A stylist's sizing guide reports the brand "generally run[s] about half a size large" and that owners "expect about an inch of stretch in the waistband after a few hours of wear," advising those between sizes to go down one. Hands-on reviewers back this up across cuts: one who ordered her chart size in the Horseshoe jean found it loose and repurchased a size down, and a shorts reviewer says the relaxed styles "run really big" and always sizes down. The caveat owners flag is line-level: relaxed and baggy cuts run largest, while high-rise styles fit closer to true size — and older forum threads on the skinny-era styles were more mixed.
Sizing advice: Size down one if you're between sizes or want a snug fit — especially in relaxed and baggy cuts, which stretch and loosen with wear; stay true to size only if you want the intentionally slouchy look.
