KNITSHIRT03.02 - Ribbed Cotton Knit Short Sleeve Shirt - Nature

$ 210.00

The Merz b. Schwanen KNITSHIRT03 Ribbed Cotton Knit Short Sleeve Shirt in nature is a clean example of texture doing the heavy lifting. Built from 100% organic cotton, the pronounced rib structure gives the fabric real depth and a structured hand while still breathing naturally. It sits somewhere between a knit polo and a refined henley, with a relaxed silhouette that feels easy but intentional. The knitted collar and corozo nut buttons add subtle retro character, and the swan loop label at the hem finishes it with one of those small details that makes the piece feel complete.

  • 100% organic cotton
  • Ribbed knit structure
  • Knitted collar
  • Corozo nut buttons
  • Short sleeve
  • Swan loop label at hem
  • Made in Germany
Size Chest Length Sleeve from Center Back
S 20.1" 24.6 17.3
M 20.9 25.2 17.7
L 21.7 25.8 18.1
XL 22.4 26.4 18.5
XXL 23.2 27.0 18.9

A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance. 

Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a XL in the pictures. That is his standard size from Merz. Everything fits a little small. He could wear a large for a more traditional look, but prefers the extra room of the XL. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs, with a 41" chest, and typically wears a North American M, a Japanese L, and a Merz XL.
