• One of the heaviest loopwheeled t-shirts ever produced, Merz b. Schwanen's Super Heavyweight T-Shirts are made entirely in Germany on rare loopwheel knitting machines using thick organic cotton slub yarns. Weighing in at a substantial 10.7oz, the shirt delivers an ultra-dense yet surprisingly comfortable feel thanks to its slightly slubbed texture and relaxed fit. The ribbed collar and cuffs provide structure and durability, with herringbone taping at the neckline reinforcing high-stress areas. Built using organic cotton spun on vintage equipment, combining commitment to traditional craftsmanship and sustainable production.
