By infusing their products with the finest craftsmanship, they have earned their place in our store. We are thrilled to introduce this German line, synonymous with impeccable engineering and precision, much like how Japanese production is associated with meticulous attention to detail. Get ready to fall in love with these meticulously engineered short-sleeved basics!
When it comes to Merz's henleys, they have mastered every detail. Designed specifically for scorching summer days, these lightweight garments are equipped with the best buttons money can buy. Upon close inspection, you'll notice the subtle yet captivating horizontal loopwheeled line running throughout, adding to their aesthetic appeal. The extraordinary softness of the fabric gives the impression that you've been wearing these henleys for years. Inspired by an original worker button-up shirt discovered in a flea market back in 1911, these pieces are meticulously crafted. The neckline, a true testament to authenticity, undergoes a painstaking manual process of being finely turned over twice. This timeless technique was used a century ago when modern edging machines were yet to be invented. Additionally, the cotton fabric button placket and original laundry buttons add a touch of charm, making this shirt a true standout.

Fit Notes: We've known these henleys fit small for some time. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size L in this piece. Ultimately, he's finding he likes all shirts with extra room. We would highly suggest sizing up at least once. He prefers to size up twice in this to an XL. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs, with a 40" chest, and typically wears a North American M, and a Japanese L.
