Last year I also wanted to try those out so I bought a black and a white 215 tee. Same size.
The black is superb fit and is now faded nicely. The white turned out horrible after first wash and is now wider than it’s long . Not wearable. I didn’t reach out to Merz so my own fault it’s now just laying around.
Cheers

@CrowRobot my 2S14 has the shoulder points too. I'm thinking they will dissipate with wear & washing.

It’s not too bad I guess, the shirt is so comfortable, it makes up for the little shoulder peaks lol.

Not sure if you're hanging em to dry, but getting some non-shoulder-bump hangers helps. Normal hangers will definitely cause bumps, but not sure if that's what caused em on your tee.

It was from the packaging, it got a little better after a wash. I lay tshirts flat to dry unless it’s a thick graphic tee. Old habit from mainly wearing merino.

I just got this Merz 1950s T and while it is probably the most comfortable shirt I’ve ever worn, I am concerned about these little shoulder points. Do they ever settle down? Is this only on the 1950s cut or do all of their shirts do it?
You might want to try the 215. It's the same cut as the 1950 but it's the double heavyweight one. I have those little points on the shoulders on my 1950, but not on the 215. I also think the 215 is better in general since I prefer the heavier weight. Probably my favorite tee out there right now (though I haven't tried an IH one yet, sacrilege, I know!).

I think you’ll love it @Oaktavia
Since Mike isn’t here to tell you: if you like the fit, be careful with warm water and agitation. If you want to dial the fit in tighter, it will shrink readily.
Mine is boxier than most of my tees but I like it as is. And even though I don’t think they make much practical difference, the gusseted armpits are a nice touch.
-
@mclaincausey I ordered the XXL just to be on the safe side after reading about the shrinkage. I like looser shirts more than ever now but I think I could probably get away with shrinking it too if I need to.
-
I look forward to seeing it and hearing your thoughts!
-
@mclaincausey Franklin and Poe are fast shippers, the shirt is out for delivery today!

Fuck yeah dude! Wearing one of mine right now

This thing is beautiful and I love it! I want a few more for sure but do not see colors besides white online currently in XXL. Filthy raved about this brand and now I totally know why (though I knew he was clearly onto something). I love the color, weight, fit this thing has it all.
-
That’s the same color I bought after Mike gave me a black one. It’s a versatile color. Goes with the anniversary flannel, the 87, the Woody, black, blue, and duck. Stoked for you, looks great!

@dinobarnesberlin said in Merz beim Schwanen:
I also remember how much Mike talked about how good these tee’s were, so yesterday I went to the Berlin store and picked one up.
Mike was right— these things are really really nice.
I will be getting more for sure.Oh man that's so rad! I can't wait to pick up a couple more too.

@Oaktavia ---The cut that I bought is called 1950's. Its pretty lightweight and that is fine as spring and summer are fast approaching here.
I really wanted something in white too but the salesgirl told me I needed to wait another week till the restock hits.
These things are sweet!!
Only downside about white anything and my IH bottoms is the never ending crock--but that's how it goes.
