The Only Basics Brands You Need

​

Merz b. Schwanen

You might know it for that white tee (the 215) from The Bear, but there’s more to this German label. Its history features a lost textile industry in the Swabian Alps, abandoned loopwheel machines, a defunct brand and an enthusiastic pair of German designers. You get the gist. Using only natural fabrics, it offers 11 takes on a crew-neck tee, as well as socks, sweaters, jackets, trousers and underwear for allyour essential needs. If you’re still after Carmy’s tee, you need to work on your reaction time – it always goes quickly out of stock.​
