Merz b. Schwanen
It was the T-shirt that launched ten thousand internet searches. A simple white tee, but as any menswear fan knows, theperfect T-shirt is anything but simple. When it hits just right, there's a subtle power that makes it outperform all others in your wardrobe. There's a reason why so many leading men are wearing one. Think of James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, Marlon Brando's Streetcarscene or Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Of course, in our modern streaming era, there's a new addition to this list: Jeremy Allen White in The Bear. As the sexy, flawed chef Carmen Berzatto, his bicep-hugging, waist-grazing tee suddenly made everyone aware of Merz b. Schwanen.
Sure, the tee looked amazing, but it turns out the brand and our plucky protagonist Carmy align on mission perfectly. The family-run, Berlin-based business tells us that they're “driven by steadfast values of heritage, integrity and sustainability. And, of course, the often-unsung heroes, patience and simplicity.”
