Description

The Merz b. Schwanen 2M15LS Good Originals Classic Fit Longsleeve in Nature is a medium-weight, vintage-inspired basic made from 6.8 oz. Vintage Machine 2-Thread Jersey, suitable for year-round wear. This shirt is produced in Albstadt, Germany, using 100% Organic Cotton on specialized vintage knitting machines from the 1960s. These machines operate extremely slowly and create a finely tensioned, hearty, and flexible jersey with exceptional durability. Inspired by classics from the 1950s, this substantial Longsleeve basic features a modern cut that drapes beautifully in an ideal length for wearing tucked or untucked, embodying contemporary antique-styled grit. The design simplicity of the 2M15 Longsleeve is thoughtfully enhanced with traditional construction details, including a narrow rib-bound crewneck, underarm gussets, and vintage ribbed cuffs and hem stitching, making it an ideal basic for those who appreciate craftsmanship in all forms. The Good Originals Vintage Machine Longsleeve, inspired by the mid-century, 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...
