The Merz b. Schwanen T-Shirt in their 214 Relaxed Fit is the larger sibling to the form and fabric of the popular Jeremy Allen White t-shirt (The Bear). This Ink Blue color comes in a not-too-dark navy and is made out of 100% pure organic cotton in their 2-thread medium-to-heavy fabric. As usual with Merz knits, it features a round crew neckline and a triangle insert under the armpit for maximum comfort. Made on original loopwheelers in Germany-one of two remaining loopwheeler operations in the world, the result is a seamless tubular fabric that will be your most comfortable tee.
Note: This is Merz's Relaxed Fit, which fits a little larger than their Classic Fit. We recommend still taking one size up for a relaxed fitted look, but you may be able to take your typical tops size (rather than sizing up) if you want a slim fit or if you are on the smaller end of your size. However, double check the measurements for the chest and length to make sure you've got the right size. The garment will shrink about 1" in length after wash, with less shrinkage in the chest. Chest will stretch back out after wear. Cold wash, hang dry. For additional information on sizing and shrinkage, see our blog post here.
Model: Model is 6'0'' and 175 lbs (currently closer to 170 lbs) wearing size 6 | L (one up from his regular TTS, M) for a comfortable and slightly relaxed fit. Model can also wear size 5 | M for a slim fit, that is quite snug when putting on, and that comes in a little shorter for a nice cropped fit. Model can go with either size 5 or 6 depending on the look he's going for.
Measurement Note: Due to the irregularities characteristic of loopwheelers, there will be slight variations within each size. Accordingly, the measurements posted are general targets that we've found to be the average or each size. If you are more particular about the sizing, or know that you need one with a specific measurement within a size, feel free to leave a note at check-out indicating your measurement preference. In general, we do not find the irregularities significant enough to impact the size you should wear.
