Merz b. Schwanen was founded in 1911 by Balthasar Merz in Albstadt, in the Swabian Alb region of southern Germany. The mill still runs the original loopwheel machines from that era and is the only company in Europe knitting on them today. Slow speed and low tension produces a seamless tubular fabric with a dense, even structure that ordinary knits cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaneled crew neck with triangle inserts where the rib meets the body, ribbed cuffs and hem that hold shape wash after wash.
