{"product_id":"1940s-relaxed-fit-loopwheeled-tee-deep-black","title":"1940s Relaxed Fit Loopwheeled Tee - Deep Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a small factory on the Swabian Alb in Germany, 30 loopwheel machines (produced between 1889 and 1960) quietly knit the fabric for Merz b. Schwanen's tees and henleys. These antique machines work slowly, knitting at 1\/10th the speed of more modern sinker weave machines, producing a soft and airy fabric with only a few needles, gravity, and some time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is a lightweight 100% cotton loopwheel knit, this is a single-thread fabric, which combined with the weight of the yarns and airiness of the loopwheeled construction breathes extremely well and feels great on a hot day. The low tension knit and organic cotton feel exceptionally good on bare skin - which is the absolute minimum one should settle for in our opinion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1940s tees are cut with a more relaxed fit through the body than the 1950s tees Merz makes. They've got a very classic and comfortably-roomy body that very tastefully avoids looking oversized or exaggerated. Triangle underarm inserts allow a full range of movement even with the 1\/4 length sleeves and more narrow shoulders. The torso is cut slightly longer than other vintage tees (even after shrinkage), great for tucking in, but not so long as to look unnatural untucked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese run true to size for a trim fit - size up for a more regular fit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
