The perfect loopwheel henley for the warmer days, the Merz b. Schwanen Short-Sleeve Henley in Nature is made from 100% organic cotton and knit on original loopwheeler machines in Germany. This henley has a seamless tubular fabric for a comfortable fit, and features a ribbed sleeve for a closer fit along the arms.
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 Merz sizing and shrinkage, see our blog post here.
Model: 6'0'' and 175 lbs (currently closer to 170 lbs) wearing size 5 | M for a slim fit. After wash, the henley will likely be a bit too short for the model's liking, and the overall fit in the torso will be a bit more snug. Model borderline could get away with the 5 | M, but given the expected shrinkage, model would likely opt for size 6 | L to be safe.
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.
