The Merz b. Schwanen 215 is a loopwheeled T-shirt in 100% organic cotton, built with the unhurried precision of a brand that still runs its own loopwheel machines. With no side seams and a 2-count fabric that's both sturdy and surprisingly soft, it has a rounded, considered weight that modern jersey rarely achieves.

This is the T-shirt that appeared on Jeremy Allen White in The Bear — not because it was styled there, but because it's the kind of shirt that just looks right. It runs small, so size up. It also softens with every wash, which is part of the point.
