The Originals 1950s Men’s Loopwheeled T-Shirt Classic Fit Nature

Crafted from a unique 4.6 oz loopwheeled jersey, this t-shirt offers a lightweight feel and authentic vintage charm. Made from 100% organic cotton, the fabric showcases a soft, comfortable texture, complemented by a traditional ribbed neckline and triangular armpit gussets for added ease of movement. Designed for both style and durability, the classic fit nods to mid-20th century workwear while ensuring a contemporary appeal. Perfect for layering or standalone wear, it embodies timeless simplicity. From the brand: Merz b. Schwanen's 1950's t-shirt features a lighter fabric and a classic 50's fit relative to their 215 t-shirt. The unique fabric this tee is woven from was traditionally manufactured on original loopwheelers in Germany, requiring artisan craftsmanship, patience, and lots of experience. This is one of Merz's lighter weight loopwheeled jerseys, weighing in at 4.6 oz relative to the 7.2 oz fabric used for Merz's 215 tee. This fabric is also a 1-thread fabric (whereas the 7.2 oz jersey is 2-thread), meaning that it is less opaque, and showcases more organic texture.  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 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.  100% organic cotton 4.6 oz loopwheeled 1-thread jersey Durable traditional ribbed neckline Interior branded neck patch Trangular armpit gussets for comfort Natural materials and dyes; free of harsh chemicals Fabric loopwheeled in Germany Shirt made in Germany Merz B.
