Men sweatshirt

The sweatshirt has its origins in sport, but has long since become an easy-to-wear staple of the everyday wardrobe. It is not only a comfortable option for leisure time, but also for mobile work. This classic cut sweatshirt from Merz b. Schwanen is made from skin-friendly, organically grown cotton. The knitted French terry fabric has a striking melange effect. The classic "sweatshirt triangle" on the round neckline also catches the eye, while the neck, sleeves and body are finished with classic elasticated cuffs.

The knitwear manufacturer Merz b. Schwanen had existed since 1911 in the Swabian Alps, once a traditional textile-producing region. In recent times, a Berliner, Peter Plotnicki, revived the tradition. Once more, the company is manufacturing shirts and sports trousers in the area – for the most part on original knitting machines dating from the 1920s or at least the 1960s. Their slow operational speeds are an advantage: They provide for the high density, characteristic structure, and substantial feel, as well as the excellent shape retention of the knitwear. A small but remarkable detail: Plotnicki has the clothing labels with the original Merz b. Schwanen logo and lettering crafted on an old weaver’s loom for jacquard ribbons.
