Crafted from unique loopwheeled cotton, this Henley shirt combines vintage craftsmanship with modern style. The zero-tension knitting process ensures exceptional softness and durability, while its natural materials celebrate classic workwear aesthetics. Featuring a Henley neck placket, mother of pearl buttons, and ribbed neckline, this shirt merges authentic details with contemporary design. It runs small, making sizing up advisable, and will shrink slightly with washing for a tailored fit.
From the brand: The unique fabric this shirt is woven from was traditionally manufactured on original loopwheelers in Germany, requiring artisan craftsmanship, patience, and lots of experience. Merz B. Shwanen's unique cotton jersey fabrics are woven on loopwheelers, very rare vintage circular knitting machines that are nearly 100 years old. These machines knit fabrics at zero-tension, which grants the fabrics a great deal of softness, thickness, comfort, and give. Simply put, loopwheeled cottons tend feel better and hold up better relative to fabrics woven on more modern machines, and amongst loopwheeled tees, Merz offers some of the very best.
The entire ethos behind Merz is to create real, authentic classic shirts that capture all the details and characteristics of classic vintage basics, 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.
Merz B. Shwanen's GOOD ORIGINALS loopwheeled shirts run small, so we recommend to size up at least once. These tees will also shrink 1-1.5" in length through the first couple of cold washes.
