Merz beim Schwanen

That’s a lovely colour, looks good on you.

I liked the look of their SS sweatshirt and likely would’ve grabbed one, but the length is super short. At 24.5 inches for a tag L, it’ll be a belly top on me

Anyone has a idea on how the sizing of the 14oz Merz B is compared to the 1600 tee? I know the fabric is loopwheeled and definitely more slubby then the IH one.

[jerkules]

@Heavy_blue - my 14oz Merz tee is size Large, while my 1600s are XL. The former is a shorter in length and more boxy than the latter. The Merz is tighter in the chest and shoulders, but my 1600s are deliberately slightly oversized for comfort.
I’ve tried an XL in the Merz before, and it was much too big for me. A tumble dry might’ve fixed that as they do shrink, but I don’t like to play around with margins of error when paying £100 for a tee shirt lol.

So for me I go down a size, but i do get a very different fitting T-shirt between the two models. Guess how you go depends on your “key” dimensions.

@jerkules thanks man!

@Heavy_blue I'm a XXL in the 1600, and an XL in the 2S14.

@Oaktavia from that angle, it looks great on you.

Wonderful shade and it looks cozy, not at all sloppy. If you happen to not get much shrinkage, wear it in confidence!

[dinobarnesberlin]

agree with Paul--the t looks good and the color works

Same here

New 14oz Merz tee on it’s way to me. Was undecided on colour, then realised the last one available in “Pacific” in the UK was my size, so grabbed it

[tody]

@jerkules Dang, the blue colour now seems to be obsolete, can't find it on the Merz site anymore. I had hoped for a return of that in my size...

[jerkules]

@tody hope you can find one, it looks like a really nice colour. I noticed the Merz site seemed sold out in quite a few colours. I was sleeping on it, but realising the last one was my size gave me the push I needed.

[tody]

@jerkules I have a lead on one in "Navy". As the IHT-1600 does not come in blue, I guess that is the second best thing I can do.

I'm the weirdo that went XL on 1600 and XXL on 2S14. 2S14s have been hot washed and hot dried for shrink and now fit pretty well if a bit boxy. 1600s were smooth and sleek from the get go and continue to be that way with relatively careful washing. All depends on the fit you want and how you will wear it I reckon.

[jerkules]

A bit big, but I’ll try some careful shrinking to bring it in a little. Love this colour, and in my favourite ever t-shirt material. This is an XL. I’m 6”1’ and 177lb.

@jerkules nice one! Cool color!

[jerkules]

Cheers, good for summer which at 14oz these tees do surprisingly well in!

They are doing the sea island cotton again but only in-store in Berlin.. if somebody would be able to grab one for me.. please DM me

[68degreesorless]

Damn been waiting on that one

[tody]

@jerkules Colour is looking good! I'll have my navy here tomorrow. I'm 6'3 at 209lbs, and I took XL as well.

[jerkules]

@tody nice! I have one in a navy called “night blue”. You’re a bigger boy than me, expect you’ll get a nice fitted tee with an XL .
