Merz b. Schwanen 215 Loopwheeled T-Shirt

The shirt is constructed using a traditional loopwheel machine, which knits cotton into a durable jersey fabric without tension. This slow, vintage process results in a highly breathable, textured fabric with a slightly raised surface.

The garment is produced by Merz b. Schwanen, a heritage manufacturer based in Germany's Swabian Alps. The brand operates vintage circular knitting machines from the early 20th century to create authentic, tubular garments.

The 215 model features a slightly boxier, vintage-inspired fit typical of traditional loopwheeled garments. It is designed with a distinct ribbed crew neck collar that lays flat against the chest.

Because it is made from 100% natural cotton without synthetic stabilizers, it will experience some shrinkage after the first wash. It is usually recommended to size up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit.
