From the Hemen Biarritz about page: “The basques believe that in olden days, during transhumance, the sheperds’ wives used to give their husbands an undergarment that was endowed with the power to protect them from the harshness of nature’s elements.” Say what? First off, the fuck is transhumance? Second, undergarments endowed with protective powers!?! Boom. Done. I’m in. You got me. As for these Harri Henleys, they’re made in Portugal out of 100% organic cotton, have a linen covered placket and oversized ribbed cuffs and hem, and they cost a pretty reasonable €70,00 / $75.00 per. Also, there’s the whole may be endowed with protective powers part too. Three colors are available.
