Merz b. Schwanen is a Berlin-based clothing brand rooted in heritage, quality, and sustainability. With origins dating back to 1911, the brand was revived by designers Gitta and Peter Plotnicki, who discovered century-old loopwheel machines in Albstadt, Germany—remnants of the region's once-thriving textile industry. Known for blending timeless craftsmanship with modern sensibilities, Merz b. Schwanen’s collections, including the iconic Good Originals and Good Basics, emphasize simplicity, organic materials, and ethical production. Partnering with family-run manufacturers in Germany and Portugal, the brand remains committed to honoring the past while shaping a conscious future.
Merz Henley LS 8.6 Oz Classic Fit Charcoal
Made in a classic style, this button-down shirt is still a faithful companion today. And if things get hot - just open the top button. The slim yet casual fit goes with any outfit. Pure organic cotton - feels comfortable on the skin. The 2-ply fabric is durable and robust at the same time.
The GOOD ORIGINALS are round-knit and run small. We therefore recommend ordering at least one size larger.
