CLIFTON Javelin Custom Henley Tee

The Javelin Custom Henley Tee keeps the comfort of a favorite cotton T-shirt but trades the standard crew neck for a buttoned Henley placket. That small change gives it a more considered, slightly vintage character without making it feel formal. Made from scratch for teams, events, hospitality, brands, and groups, every Javelin can be tailored around your colors, fit, sleeves, hem, buttons, artwork, and personal details.

Why Choose the Javelin?

• More character than a standard tee: The button-neck Henley placket creates a distinctive look without sacrificing everyday comfort.
• Soft 100% cotton: Breathable jersey fabric makes it easy to wear for events, travel, uniforms, merchandise, and regular team use.
• Two fabric weights: Choose a versatile everyday cotton or a heavier jersey with more structure and substance.
• Short or long sleeves: Adapt the shirt for warm conditions, cooler seasons, or layered uniforms.
• Flexible group sizing: Mix men’s, women’s, and youth fits and sizes within the same order.
• Free design support: Start with a logo, existing uniform, rough mockup, reference image, or initial idea.

Fabric and Feel

Both Javelin fabrics are made from soft cotton jersey, but they create noticeably different finished shirts.

• Everyday Cotton Jersey: a soft, breathable cotton with an easy midweight feel and relaxed drape. It is comfortable enough for long days while retaining enough substance to avoid feeling like a lightweight promotional tee. Our top recommendation for the most versatile Javelin.
• Heavy Cotton Jersey: a thicker cotton with greater structure, density, and visual weight. It sits more firmly away from the body and gives the Henley a more substantial, premium casualwear feel.

Which Fabric Should You Choose?

Choose Everyday Cotton Jersey for the best balance of softness, breathability, and year-round comfort.

Choose Heavy Cotton Jersey when you want a firmer silhouette, more substantial hand-feel, and greater warmth.

The heavier option is not automatically better for every order. It feels more structured and durable, but the everyday jersey is cooler, softer, and easier to wear across changing conditions.

The Henley Fit

The Javelin is available in men’s, women’s, and youth fits, with different fits and sizes mixed within the same group order.

The button placket opens the neckline slightly and gives the shirt a more relaxed appearance than a conventional polo, while retaining the simplicity of a T-shirt. Wear it buttoned for a cleaner shape or slightly open for an easier casual look.

Available garment options include:

• Short or long sleeves
• Regular straight hem
• Modern curved hem
• Custom Henley placket length
• Custom button colors and finishes
• Contrast plackets, sleeves, cuffs, or neck details
• Custom labels and internal branding
• Individual names, numbers, or personalization
• Mixed fits and sizes within the same order

Make the Details Earn Their Place

The Henley neckline already gives the Javelin a clear identity, so the rest of the design can stay restrained or push much further.

You can customize:

• Base colors and contrast shades
• Placket, sleeve, cuff, and neck colors
• Printed logos, text, graphics, and event artwork
• Embroidered logos, initials, and individual names
• Appliqué and twill patches
• Names and numbers for teams or groups
• Regular or curved hem styling
• Custom buttons, woven labels, neck labels, and trims
• Personalization across individual shirts within the same order

Because every Javelin is made from scratch, the colors and garment details can be developed around your design rather than chosen from a limited stock range.

Artwork and Small Details

For the cleanest logos and text, send artwork in vector format, ideally AI, EPS, SVG, or editable PDF.

Very small lettering, detailed taglines, and fine embroidery may need to be enlarged or simplified depending on their final position. Our design team will review the artwork and flag anything likely to lose clarity before production.

Best Suited To

The Javelin is particularly well suited to hospitality teams, clubs, events, automotive groups, lifestyle brands, schools, universities, tours, merchandise collections, and organizations that want something more distinctive than a crew-neck T-shirt but less formal than a polo.

Consider Another Option If...

Choose the Hanbury Custom Cotton T-Shirt if you prefer a clean crew neckline and the most familiar everyday T-shirt shape.

Choose the Redgrave Custom All-Over-Print T-Shirt if your design needs edge-to-edge artwork, gradients, repeated graphics, or printing across the complete garment.

Choose the Foster Custom Long-Sleeve T-Shirt if long sleeves and a curved hem are central to the design rather than optional details.
