Buy NowWith their vintage loopwheelers at capacity and an ever growing demand for loopwheeled tees, Merz b. Schwanen have introduced these alternatives, made with substantial 6.8oz robust cotton jersey on original mid-century jersey circular knitting machines from the 1960s. The fabric is a convincing alternative to Merz's usual 7.2oz loopwheeled jersey in terms of both heft and hand, and these do feature side-seams and a slightly more organic body in contrast to the tubular shape of the originals, which helps prevent them from being too drapey at the hem.
Otherwise these t-shirts feature the same fit and details as Merz's 215 loopwheeled tees, making them a direct alternative that fills the same role. They feature a classic fit with a slightly boxy body shape, a robust ribbed collar, and triangular underarm gussets for mobility.
The entire ethos behind Merz is to create real, authentic classic t-shirts that capture all the details and characteristics of classic vintage tees, while combining contemporary and classic design sensibilities. The materials are all-natural and extremely high quality to ensure well-crafted simplicity, celebrating authentic work clothing from the early and mid 1900s, refined for modern times.
