Description

The Merz b. Schwanen 206 Good Originals Classic Fit Henley in Deep Black is a heavyweight, vintage-inspired basic made from a 7.2 oz. Loopwheeled 2-Thread Jersey, suitable for year-round wear. This shirt is produced in Albstadt, Germany, using 100% Organic Cotton on specialized loopwheel circular knitting machines dating back to the late 1800s through the 1960s. These machines operate extremely slowly and use gravity to create a consistently tensioned, thick, and breathable jersey with exceptional durability. Inspired by classics from the 1920s, this substantial Henley features a seamless single circular body that drapes beautifully in an ideal length for wearing tucked or untucked, embodying contemporary antique-styled grit. The design simplicity of the 206 Henley is thoughtfully enhanced with traditional construction details such as a narrow rib-bound crewneck with a twill-lined placket and genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, underarm gussets, and vintage ribbed cuffs and hem stitch, making it an ideal long sleeve for those who appreciate craftsmanship in all forms. The Good Originals Loopwheeled Henley, inspired by the industrial era, has been modernized into an all-season staple that will wear beautifully for years.

Collection: Merz b. Schwanen

Starting with a 90-year-old Henley discovered at a Berlin flea market, fashion designers Gitta and Peter Plotnicki immediately recognized the quality of this impeccably preserved workwear shirt from 1911. Tracing the Henley’s provenance took the pair to Germany’s Swabian Alps, once a vibrant textile manufacturing center. This journey led them to uncover an abandoned factory with rows of towering, authentic loopwheelers dating from 1889 to the 1960s. This original Henley, produced by this collection of Albstadt machines, contributed to the...
