Overview

Merz b. Schwanen is revered for its commitment to traditional manufacturing techniques, particularly its loopwheeled garments. The 215 is for those who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship and a vintage aesthetic.

Material & Construction

Material Details

Made from 100% organic cotton, a heavyweight 2-thread, 7.2oz (approx. 244gsm) loopwheeled jersey.

Construction Details

Loopwheeling is a slow, traditional process creating tubular fabric with no side seams, known for comfort and durability. Features include a rib-bound crewneck and underarm gussets.

Fit & Sizing

Classic fit, designed to drape well. Runs small and is unwashed, so significant shrinkage (about half a size to a full size) is expected, especially in length. Sizing up is crucial.

Care Instructions

Expect significant shrinkage on the first wash, particularly in length. Cold wash and hang dry are recommended. The fabric is designed to evolve and improve with wear and washing.

Additional Notes

Gained fame as 'Carmy's tee' from The Bear.
