Crafted using time-honored production techniques, this Henley shirt is a reliable companion for the modern-day wearer. Should the heat of the moment become overwhelming, simply unbutton the top for instant relief. With its thoughtfully shaped cut and casual fit, this shirt effortlessly complements any outfit, making it a versatile wardrobe essential.

This is one of the heaviest loopwheeled henleys in the world! Yet, it epitomizes an easygoing look thanks to its relaxed fit, the fabric's subtle slub structure, and the granddad neckline, which is an eye-catcher in its own right. This piece is special in many ways: the loopwheeled fabric is unique from the ground up, and the slight slub structure adds an even more casual touch to it. While this henley weighs a substantial 14 oz. / 380 grams, it still feels comfortable and enjoyable at all times.
The fabric is made from 100% organic cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, making it a more sustainable option than conventional cotton. The cotton is also spun on vintage machines, which gives it a unique texture and character.
Most Merz tees run a bit smaller in size compared to your regular American size. Typically, if you wear a size M in American t-shirts, you will need to select a size L in the Merz relaxed fit tees or stay true to size if you prefer a slimmer fit. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
Please note that this T-shirt is not pre-washed in an industrial process. We recommend accounting for approximately 3% (2-3cm) shrinkage in length after the first wash. However, this shrinkage length has already been factored in during the product's cutting, and extra length is included. Therefore, your first impression might be that the shirt appears slightly long when you first try it on. Rest assured, it will fit perfectly after the initial wash.
