2S18.02 - 13.4oz Loopwheeled Heavy LS T-Shirt Relaxed Fit - Nature
Merz b. Schwanen - 13.4oz Loopwheeled Heavy LS T-Shirt Relaxed Fit - Nature
Merz has been on our list for quite some time. Can you believe they've been around for 111 years? That's currently our oldest brand! They've stuck around because they do something quite incredible with basics. They stand behind the idea that basics can be something to get excited about. So they create the best and put their iconic branding on just the tags. We're so happy to introduce this German line to our store. In the same way we correlate Japanese production to meticulous attention to detail, we correlate German production to impeccable engineering. We hope you love these super-engineered basics!
This heavy loopwheeled tee is the epitome of an easy-going look thanks to its relaxed fit, the fabric’s slight slub structure, and the detailed neckline, which is an eye-catcher in its own right. This piece is special in many ways: the loopwheeled fabric is unique from the ground up, and the slight slub structure adds an even more casual look to it. And while this T-shirt is a serious matter with a weight of 13.4 oz. / 380 grams, it still feels soft, good, and comfortable in every moment! We compare it to the heaviest tee we've ever carried, but as if it's been power-washed to make it easy to wear.

A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: We can only describe these as being a much truer fit than we were expecting. We heard over and over that Merz fit small, and while they do...the oversized nature of these shirts helps with that. Andy was able to size up just once in this version of the tee, and he described the 6/L as the perfect fit. Shop owner Tommy is our standard fit model and also wears a 6/L. He is 5'10," 165lbs, with a 40" chest, and typically wears a North American M, and a Japanese L.

This one has been on our minds for years. We've been waiting for them to bring back some variation of a khaki color to the selvedge world, and we got something even better in this camel color. It's rich and it's slubby, two things variations in the past haven't had. We could see guys wearing this in the office or as an indigo alternative out and about. That extra slubby texture and the starchiness of this denim give it the gumption of an even heavier pair. These have an incredible ability to stack that we just weren't expecting from a 13oz denim. After 5 minutes of wear during the photoshoot, you could clearly see the honeycombs in the legs, so this denim has something incredibly special we haven't quite put our finger on yet. They finished this pair with tonal stitching, copper hardware, and a red selvedge ID.

We were over the moon to get our hands on this extremely limited run of Greencast Slub Selvedge. If you recognize this beautiful fabric, kudos because it's been nearly a decade since its last release as part of the Made in Japan series. It has been their most requested denim since, because everyone loves a greencast. This hue is accomplished by adding a bit of green dye to the batch either just at the beginning or just at the end of the process. It creates a bit of a lighter, less indigo-dense fabric that is easy to see upfront. The real green comes out as the pair fades revealing a gradient of color. Probably the other reason these were so popular is that slubby texture was created by using uneven yarns in the weaving process. This yarn also has loose bits we like to call fleck. You'll see both natural and indigo flecks popping galore on this pair. It's pretty much the trifecta of goodness for the indigo-heads out there. They've finished this pair with copper hardware and subtle contrast stitching. It's truly one of the pairs of the year, and there are only 300 of them made worldwide. If you want 'em, grab 'em early.
