Merz beim Schwanen

@jerkules great deal and yes, a wash will help and settle things.

Really impressed with this… standard and strange had these for half price recently. This is the 2S04.

That heavyweight tee fabric is fantastic — enjoy! I totally woulda bought that one, but just not a color that works on me. Great deal for sure.

Sry for Cross Posting, bought this Merz 2s14 and a few others due to their recent Summer Sale ... All at half price, quality is great but still prefer the iht-1600 ... Anyway, was a nice bargain i'd say...

@Fades-for-future Nice.. looks like the same color and weight as the Henley I got. Did you wash yours yet?

[Fades for future]

@DCWS2020 hey man, colour is Tan or so. Yep did a wash at 30 degrees, about 1- 1,5 cm shrinkage in the length...

Delivery day. I've been diving into the world of loopwheel tees, including a used merz b from this forum, and have read enough good things here to go big on these shirts with their half off sale.

First impressions... The super heavy shirts are much softer out of the box than the iron heart 1600 and 1501. Substantial but comfortable while the iron hearts have to be broken in. These tend to hug the body a little more than the iron heart.

Perhaps fit pics another time...started but the mirror needs to be cleaned.

Today I got my first t shirt from merz b schwanen. It's a 214, relaxed fit xxl, loopwheeled T-SHIRT, 8,6OZ.
To my height 190 cm and weight of 100 kg is very good cut and shape.
I am very happy with the product and i am ordering certainly a lot more

@Jbailla2 all great addition’s! Me personally also felt that the nature CW was softer then the 11oz IH tee but my white one on the other hand is more sturdy and harsh. Jealous on your tan colorway.. almost sold out everywhere in the EU.

Merz b. Schwanen - 2S04 Henley 13,4OZ

[Jbailla2]

I've been on the loopwheel bandwagon recently trying to get my hands on various brands to compare them. I recently contacted Merz B's customer service for clarity on their shirt weights based on their FAQ, copied below, so that I can compare to other brands.

"What does the weight in the product description mean?
Fabric weight is measured per m² of fabric. For example, with a weight of 200 grams (7,1oz) per m², this means that a 1 meter wide and 1 meter long piece of fabric weighs 200 grams (7,1oz). This is a good way to estimate wether the textile is lighter or heavier. "

In short, I was told that their advertised grams are actually GSM and their ounces aren't accurate. They were going to make the revisions on their website.

Their advertised heaviest loopwheel is 11.21 oz vs 13.4, and their 214/215 t shirt that has been really popular from the tv show the bear is 7.2 oz vs 8.6. Doesn't change anything about the quality, though, and my recent acquisitions have been the first in my rotation since I got them.I'm curious if they will ditch the "world's heaviest loopwheel" marketing, though. I just got a 12.5 oz loopwheel from deluxeware which seems to take that title.

Examples in their reply:
"346 MEN'S LOOPWHEELED SWEATSHIRT > 340grams per square meter > 10,03 ounce per square yard

214 MEN'S LOOPWHEELED T-SHIRT > 245grams per square meter > 7,22 ounce per square yard

2S14 MEN'S LOOPWHEELED T-SHIRT HEAVY > 380grams per square meter > 11,21 ounce per square yard"
