Merz b. Schwanen 103 Lightweight Short Sleeve Henley - Tan

1 / 4

Field Notes

This heritage inspired piece from German loop-wheel veterans Merz b. Schwanen takes its shape from a thrift shop find from the very early 20th century. With a standard fit, and a brilliantly comfortable and lightweight fabric, this short sleeve tee serves as the perfect base layer in the winter, and a great light tee in the summer months.

A wide neck shows the 1911 roots, while a cotton button placket, with vintage inspired covered buttons has been used for the front closure. For comfort, the brand have included a triangular gusset in the underarm, and a ribbed cuff for a tight fit in the sleeve, this model is incredibly flattering. This brilliant fabric has been woven on vintage loop-wheel knitting machines, which craft a quality of material which is unmatched by modern equivalents.
