Merz beim Schwanen

Lookin good Mike!!!
I’m jealous of that shirt. My favorite Merz Henley got a hole from getting closed in my wardrobe against the hinge
How warm are they, being wool??

Not warm at all because the structure is so airy and open. @Appfaff
Also it is super luxuriously soft since a cold wash.

Not making my choice any easier!! Lol [emoji23]

I tried now several of their long sleeve henlyes and just about none did properly fit, sizing between 5 and 6 or M and L
I love the fabric and the feel to their shirts, but they either fit skin tight, or remind me of my oversized hip hop tall tees I was wearing in the 90ies with a neck opening a cow would fit through…
Any real life shrinking measurements available?
Guess I might have to stick with the shirts from berry on the drums, great shirts as well. -
I have found Self Edge’s disclaimer of them shrinking 1/2 a size is pretty accurate. However, I can run a warm steam iron over them after they hang dry and they are essentially back to raw size.

I slept in my wool shirt last night and it is indeed very comfortable. I'd put it at the same weight as a Gildan Featherweight ringspun tee. I don't know if you've ever had a pair of Darn Tough lightweight socks but the wool is very soft and smooth like those are. It feels almost like polyester, rather than wool.. Feels like wearing nothing at all!

I have a couple of tees from Duckworth @Filthy and love them. Just like your description.

Yeah @Filthy gotta say I looove these shirts, esp the Henley. I’ll be getting more. Very hooked.

I have two items from their store in my cart and I had to pause and think, "do I really need $400 worth more of t-shirts?"
@steelworker I will have to check out duckworth, but I am reluctant to for the above reason. Thanks though
️Also, looking good Mr. Pfaff

I took @Palmer 's advice and copped a Merz B henley. It's so nice!! Love the mother of pearl buttons and the knit cuffs on the henley. The stripes are sick too. Also I splurged and got one of those sea island cotton t-shirts. It is unbelievable how soft it is. I would have bought it when I was at Self Edge but they didn't have my size.
-
That Henley looks gorgeous Mike.
How does the sizing run?

Looks great @Filthy! Sadly, my 215 t shirt was accidentally washed and dried with some towels and now it's too short so I may end up selling it. Pain.

@bryaneidins70 the body is roughly the same size as the other size 2xl tee I have but the sleeves are longer and slimmer. A 2xl in the henley is good for me. But I could have gotten away with a smaller size on the non-henley regular striped tee, if you know what I mean. Basically you might want to size up on the henley or not depending on how loose you like your tees to fit.

I just tried the sea island cotton shirt on and it is amazing. Like if they made a shirt out of MDMA this would be it.

@Filthy surprised me with a very heavy Merz B Schwanen tee, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The weight is easily double digits / yard and the slub is out of control. Extremely textured hand. It’s gonna age amazingly. Despite the fabric weight, the weave feels airy enough for this to be an all-season tee. Which is great because I enjoy heavy fabric year round.
I needed a new T shirt brand and this is it. I love the IH knit tees but miss the slightly heavier and softer bodies of their loopwheeled tees of yore. The slub pattern is distinctive and unmistakable, and with washes and wear promises to pronounce even further.
Wish I could capture the texture but here’s the fit (large, also my IH western, work, and tee size):
Thanks Mike @Filthy !!
-
You're welcome man. I am so glad you like it. Yeah it's pretty crazy how heavy they are….
-
Is it the 215 style?
Merz 50s T-Shirts are my go to. The 215 is cut the same AFAIK but somehow different colours run differently. Got a 215 in Army Green which fit great and had one in Natural and that was huge. Could also be just a mis-tagged one though.
