Merz beim Schwanen

@Karol cooo one! Merz B is amazing! Have 2 2s14 now and a 9oz henley

@jerkules I have a couple of long sleeve 1950s. I like them, but they are a lot lighter than my 206/207 henleys and 2S14/2S18 beasts. They work for me when I want something lighter but they need more attention when washing (they need pulling back into shape and I can’t not iron the 1950s but can get away with not ironing the heavyweight ones - you might have different thresholds).
Do watch out for sizing - you might need to go up a size in 1950s compared to 2S14, for example, as they are cut slimmer.
I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. There are probably more options out there at lighter weights but if the one you’ve seen is a bargain, maybe just go for it?

Thanks for you input both. I’ve grabbed a long sleeve.
@ARNC i expect that I’ll have similar feelings to yours when it arrives. I’m so used to wearing sturdy/heavy tees, and I expect the 1950s tee to feel very lightweight. Tbh that’s one of the reasons I started looking at the lighter offerings from Merz - my childish brain always equates bigger numbers = better (it’s how I got into IH!), and as a result I’ve ended up with all my “nice” T-shirts being heavyweights. I’m hoping it’s not too slim but will have to see, worst thing that happens is I have to wear as a layer. With delivery, the shirt wasn’t a huge amount more than a Uniqlo longsleeve!! I’ll keep an eye on it while washing.
@Dmart thanks, glad to hear you like them and I’m excited to give something lighter weight a try.

@Heavy_blue fyi I just picked up a Sunspel sea island t and it’s quite nice.

That heavyweight tee fabric is fantastic — enjoy! I totally woulda bought that one, but just not a color that works on me. Great deal for sure.

Sry for Cross Posting, bought this Merz 2s14 and a few others due to their recent Summer Sale ... All at half price, quality is great but still prefer the iht-1600 ... Anyway, was a nice bargain i'd say... -
@Fades-for-future Nice.. looks like the same color and weight as the Henley I got. Did you wash yours yet?
-
@DCWS2020 hey man, colour is Tan or so. Yep did a wash at 30 degrees, about 1- 1,5 cm shrinkage in the length...
