The Carhartt CTK84 is the CTK87 pocket tee with one deliberate upgrade: a three-button Henley placket that moves it from worksite-only to genuinely versatile. Same 6.75 oz 100% cotton jersey knit, same side-seamed construction, same woven Carhartt “C” label on the left chest pocket — but the Henley collar adds a layer of visual sophistication that reads as polished without reading as formal. The three buttons aren’t just aesthetic either; they let the wearer open the neckline when the temperature climbs, which on a heavy cotton shirt in a physical job makes a real difference. Site foremen, tradespeople, and outdoor lifestyle brands use this shirt exactly because it bridges the gap — tough enough for the job, clean enough for after. Print your logo on the right chest and let the Carhartt pocket label do the co-branding work it’s been doing for thirty years.
Carhartt CTK84 Henley Tee Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the CTK84 Henley and the CTK87 pocket tee?
Product
The fabric, weight, and construction are identical — both are 6.75 oz 100% cotton with side seams, a left chest pocket, and the woven Carhartt label. The CTK84 replaces the standard crewneck with a three-button Henley placket, which adds a more polished, vintage look and lets the wearer adjust the neckline for ventilation. If you want rugged with a little more visual refinement, the CTK84. If you want a straight workwear classic, the CTK87.
Does the CTK84 run true to size?
Product
No — like all Carhartt K-series shirts, the CTK84 runs in an original loose fit and comes up significantly larger than modern retail tees. Size down at least one from your standard size. If you’re ordering for a team, we recommend confirming sizes before placing a large order.
What custom decoration options are available for the CTK84?
Decoration
Screen printing and embroidery are both available. The three-button Henley placket and left chest pocket with the Carhartt label limit standard placement — decoration typically goes on the right chest, above the pocket, or on the back. The right chest is the most popular choice, allowing your logo and the Carhartt pocket label to share the front panel as co-brands. Heather colorways require adjusted print temperatures.
Can I order the CTK84 in bulk for a crew or premium uniform program?
Bulk Orders
Yes — the CTK84 is a strong choice for trades businesses and outdoor brands that want a step up from the standard crewneck without moving to a polo or button-down. Safari Sun has no order minimums and tiered pricing that drops at 12, 24, 48, and beyond. Contact our team to discuss pairing with the CTK87 for a matching crewneck and Henley uniform program.
What’s the best custom shirt for a premium workwear or trades uniform?
Corporate Apparel
For trades businesses that want a uniform shirt that looks intentional rather than generic, the CTK84 is the move. The Henley collar elevates it above the standard crewneck promo tee without sacrificing durability or worksite function, and the Carhartt name signals quality to clients and customers before you say a word. Decorated in-house by Safari Sun with a proof before production and no minimums.
