Vintage Waffle Thermal

Editors Notes

White thermal waffle-knit fabric, ribbed cuffs, crew neck, distressed hem, visible discoloration and age marks, made from lightweight cotton.

Thermal shirts, often called waffle-knits, have their roots in early 20th-century workwear and military undergarments meant for warmth. The textured weave helps trap heat, making them both functional and comfortable during colder months. Over decades, these shirts became a winter staple, moving from strictly utilitarian use to an item cherished for relaxed, casual style. Today, vintage thermals are loved for their rugged charm and subtle individuality, with visible distressing and wear adding to their appeal. They are often layered under shirts or jackets for a timeless, effortless look. Collectors and style enthusiasts appreciate them for their tactile fabric and authentic vintage condition.
