@Oaktavia good call getting a nice range of some different weights— and colors for that matter.
Their sweat pants are calling me— maybe this fall:)

I just went and ordered the 7.1oz oversized fit purple blue T-shirt. Stoked on that color!

I was eyeing down the sweatpants too and I took a look at the old as heck pairs I have in my dresser and shook my head lol.

Edit: anyone have a 7.1oz shirt of theirs and care to comment?

[Dmart]

@dinobarnesberlin thanks i will. I am here for the half marathon though.

[dinobarnesberlin]

@Oaktavia that color is going to be cool. And the weight should be perfect through spring-summer for you.

When you want something you dont mess around..good on you man.

Shaking your head ha--its sad right?
im thinking a pair of their sweatpants will probably outlast me.
The softness is like Charmin!

[dinobarnesberlin]

@Dmart oh right that! just messin with you. ive watched more than I care to count at this point and its always a good time...the "running community" here in Berlin are pretty intense and the city embraces them.
if I wasn't getting ready to fly to the states I would suggest meeting up----maybe next time.
Try and snag that Merz Tee and enjoy your weekend!

@dinobarnesberlin sometimes to a fault but I get over it!

Another 14oz shirt came today. I love the "nature" color. Feels great just like my last one but a tad larger though both are 8/XXL. Within an hour of wearing it I splattered daffodil crud onto it while draining a few vases into the sink. Oh well, maybe it'll wash out.

A 7oz "purple blue" one I ordered a day or two after has still yet to ship.

[Oaktavia]

Received a "purple blue" (the art teacher in me wishes it was proper and reversed) 7oz shirt today. It fits a tad big which is no bother but I will try and see what a hot wash/dryer session will do. Softer than their 14oz tshirts and less textured, I think will be great for hot temps. The tag states the shirt will lose dye due to washing and sunlight exposure. I am intrigued to see how it evolves and will keep this in mind when chosing my next shirt. Pretty neat brand all around.

The blue UV protector bag was a nice touch. I love that color blue.

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!

[tody]

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

[Paul9221]

@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

[jerkules]

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.

[68degreesorless]

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.
