Merz b. Schwanen's 215 Tee in a seasonal Vintage Blue colorway. These premium-knit loopwheel tees are sturdy and look damn good. Made out of 100% pure organic cotton and cut in a slim fit, these drape beauitfully on the body. 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: Recommend sizing up one full size due to shrinkage after wash. Note that Merz 215 tees feature a slightly wider neck than most other tees, but we don't consider these a wide neck t-shirt (there's just no struggle to get it up and over your head). Cold wash, hang dry. For additional information on sizing and shrinkage, see our blog post here. To learn about the fit comparison between 1940s, 215, and 2s14, see our post here.
Model: Model is 6'0'' and 175 lbs (currently closer to 165 lbs) wearing size 6 | L (one size up from his regular TTS, M) for a slim and comfortable fit. Expect shrinkage after wash to tighten it up a little. At 175 lbs, model would still wear size 6 | L for just a slightly slimmer fit.
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. Additionally, consistent with how Merz measures their shirts, the Length measurement is taken from the highest point of the shirt (where the neckline and shoulder meet), instead of from the center of the neckline. In general, we do not find the irregularities significant enough to impact the size you should wear.
