Description

The Merz b. Schwanen S214 Good Originals Relaxed Fit Heavyweight T-Shirt in Nature is a vintage-inspired basic made from a 10.7 oz. Loopwheeled 2-Thread Jersey, suitable for year-round use. This shirt is produced in Albstadt, Germany, from 100% Organic Cotton, using specialized loopwheel circular knitting machines from the late 1800s to the 1960s. These machines operate extremely slowly and utilize gravity to create a consistently tensioned, thick, and breathable jersey with exceptional durability. Inspired by classics and reimagined for the future, this substantial short-sleeve t-shirt boasts a slubbed pattern achieved through a seamless, single, circular body that drapes beautifully, embodying contemporary, antique-styled grit. The design simplicity of the S214 Heavyweight T-Shirt is thoughtfully enhanced with traditional construction details, including a ribbed crewneck, underarm gussets, and vintage stitching at the sleeve opening and hem, making it an ideal elevated basic for those who appreciate craftsmanship in all forms. Inspired by the industrial era, the Good Originals Loopwheeled Heavyweight T-Shirt 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...
