Merz b. Schwanen's (206) Long Sleeve Henley's are one of the most popular henleys on the market, due to their use of 100% organic cotton in a sturdy yet soft all-season fabric. The cut is slim and fitted, perfect for a single layer or as a base layer underneath another shirt during the colder months. 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 henley.
The model photos of the color are more accurate than the flat-lay photos. The "Army" color does have a slightly pastel green as shown in the model photos.
Note: Runs slightly small and due to shrinkage after wash, recommend sizing up one full size (exception is if you intend to wear this as an undergarment or prefer skin-tight fit). Cold wash, hang dry. Length and sleeve will shrink approximately 2" after wash. Other measurements will have about 1" shrinkage after wash, but will stretch back out to original size upon wear. For additional information on sizing and shrinkage, see our blog post here.
Model: 6'0'' and 175 lbs wearing size 6 | L (one size up from his regular TTS, M) for a comfortable fit - neither too slim nor too relaxed. Model can also wear size 5 | M for a more slim/fitted look. As model has slimmed down a tad over the years, he prefers the size 5 | M in the 206 Henley for that fitted henley look. See model wearing size 5 | M in the Nature colorway.
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 for 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 email us for us to double-check measurements before purchasing. In general, we do not find the irregularities significant enough to impact the size you should wear.
