You might suspect that the name has English roots, and you’d be correct.

Each year, at the Henley Royal Regatta, it became practice for the losing squad to give their shirts to the victors. There should be considerable weight to the garment. This isn’t soft-as-silk cotton. Yes, it’s soft and comfortable, but it’s also a warmth-giving base layer. The knit should feel extremely breathable. A low-tension weave will be the mediating layer between your skin and the air around you. This breathability is key to temperature, which is key to comfort.
