The verdict
Fit
Waffle knit implies a slightly looser, more breathable fit. Three buttons at the neckline allow some neckline adjustment. Plaster (warm neutral) suggests a classic fit not tailored tight.
Quality
Waffle knits demand good fabric recovery; Citizens of Humanity's mid-tier basics hold up here. Expect a tee that breathes better than jersey and stands up to regular rotation.
Is the price fair?
Mid-tier pricing that aligns with the added design (buttons, texture, knit construction). Fair for a men's henley in the category.
Best for
Men seeking a henley with a bit more visual interest and breathability than a plain crew, willing to pay for mid-tier construction.
Care
Gentle wash to protect waffle texture; lay flat or hang dry to avoid shrinkage.
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.
