Merz b. Schwanen's 215 tee is made out of 100% pure organic cotton in an easygoing 2-thread fabric in a slim fit. The 215 tee is similar to the 1950s tee but in a heavier fabric. 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. 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: 6'0'' and 175 lbs. wearing size 6 | L (one size up from his regular TTS, M). Expect shrinkage after wash.
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.
