What does HENLEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A collarless knit shirt with a round neck and a short row of buttons down the front.
A henley has no collar, and its placket of two or three buttons sits just below the neck, so it is neither a plain tee nor a full shirt. It is usually cut from soft cotton, with long or short sleeves, and people wear it alone in warm weather or under a jacket in cold. The style is said to come from the rowers' shirts at the English town of Henley, from which it takes its name.
