At Burgeon Outdoor, we believe every piece of gear carries a story. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the Old Fort Performance Henley—a shirt with a meaningful legacy.

Named after Old Fort, NC, the town where Kitsbow crafted its renowned American-made apparel, this Henley continues that tradition with Polartec® Power Wool™ fabric we acquired when Kitsbow closed its doors. We wanted to carry forward their commitment to quality and craftsmanship, embedding it in a product built for your own adventures.

Made of Polartec® Powerwool™, this Henley not only wicks great, but is also naturally thermoregulating, anti-odor, and comfortable on your skin. It is a midweight hiking shirt, baselayer, and date night go-to all in one. 

Made of 100% deadstock material, the Old Fort Henley is not only the most sustainable Henley on the market but also one of the most comfortable.

Our Old Fort Henley Baselayer was originally knitted in Cleveland, TN and is handsewn in Lincoln, NH.  US domestic production ensures compliance with high environmental standards, a cleaner electrical grid, more efficient transportation infrastructure, as well as reducing the overall distance (and carbon footprint required) to move through a global supply chain. 

In addition, wool is a natural fiber that is anti-odor and thermoregulating without the use of chemical additives.
