Are all T-shirts really the same?

We believe that a true classic requires well-crafted simplicity—made from high-quality materials with thoughtful details and a genuine passion. This T-shirt boasts a classic fit that remains casual and complements any style. It is crafted from 100% organic cotton and knitted using rare 100-year-old machines located in the Swabian Alps in southwestern Germany, resulting in a unique texture and feel.

Renowned for its exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail, this authentic 2-count fabric ensures durability and sturdiness. Merz classic fit runs a bit smaller in size compared to your regular American size. Typically, if you wear a size M in American t-shirts, you will need to select a size L in the Merz classic fit tees. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.

Please note that this T-shirt is not pre-washed in an industrial process. We recommend accounting for approximately 3% (2-3cm) shrinkage in length after the first wash. However, this shrinkage length has already been factored in during the product's cutting, and extra length is included. Therefore, your first impression might be that the shirt appears slightly long when you first try it on. Rest assured, it will fit perfectly after the initial wash.

Under the slogan "making basics - simply good basics," Merz b. Schwanen specializes in creating unique fabrics using rare 100-year-old loopwheel machines in Germany to achieve an authentic vintage appearance. They also use artisan craftsmanship and their extensive experience to develop new styles with contemporary looks and feels. Their garments are essential all year-round, made of high-quality and sustainable materials suitable for any mood or look.
