A clean, elevated tank—just in time for the season
Just like Merz b.’s shirts, this tank is made with simplicity and quality in mind. It’s made in Portugal using 100% organic cotton, and cut with a classic fit that fits the body snug (but never too tight). The neck and armholes have a classic paneled design, and on the hem is the brand’s subtle swan loop label.

About Merz b. Schwanen
Of all the clothing brands out there, perhaps none takes the adage “quality over quantity” more to heart than Merz b. Schwanen. Founded in 1911 by Balthazar Merz, the brand was brought back to life decades later when the future founders discovered a 90-year-old henley shirt at a Berlin flea market. They were moved by the quality of the garment to revitalize the brand and soon began a long process of restoring rare Loopwheeler machines (originally built between 1889 and 1969) in a workshop in the Swabian Alps of Germany. Each machine is dedicated to a particular size, and it takes an hour to knit enough fabric, row by row, for a single shirt. The result is a garment in timeless style crafted from soft organic cotton that just might last you 100 years.
