Carmys $95 T-Shirt from "The Bear" | Merz B. Schwanen 215 Review
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The t-shirt Carmy wears in coveted show 'The Bear' has been a much discussed topic since the pilot. Carmy is also known for having a keen knowledge for menswear and mens fashion, which gives him his well kept look despite his circumstances throughout the show. And while he DOES wear a few other different t-shirts throughout the series (namely Whitesville t-shirts), Carmy seems to primarily dress in the grailed Merz B. Schwanen 215 Loopwheel t-shirt. This has been confirmed by both costume designers, giving us the peace of mind we have located the right t-shirt!
In this video, we give an in-depth Merz b Schwanen t-shirt review into the full conception from beginning to end of the magnificent t-shirts! The Merz b. Schwanen t shirt is truly remarkable. It's insane how amazing it feels, how it looks, how it drapes, everything about it. Even the history, which we ALSO dive into! You can skip that part if you like, and go straight to () if you just want to see the Merz b Schwanen t shirt up close and personal and skip the history background.
DISCLAIMER I purchased 3 sizes larger than normal because I WANTED an oversized fit. I did NOT want a skin tight fit for myself like Carmys. You can achieve this by going TRUE TO SIZE, which Jeremy Allen White did, as well as having gotten them tailored to his arms, which is also explicitly mentioned.

Excellent video! I do have a question: if I were to attempt to get more of that Classic/Carmy fit, should I stay to true to size, or would it be wise to go one size up?

Thank you so much I really appreciate that! 😁🙏🏽🔥 I would say if you’re usually a size medium, stick with a medium, and if you’re usually a size large, I would size up to an extra large. I feel like the sizes from Large and up feel very small to size. Hope this helps! 😁

Great video, loved the great in-depth analysis about the brand and the t shirt. Never did I think I would drop close to $100 for a single tshirt but after your video it certainly made me consider haha. Keep up the good work!

I got one of these yesterday, initial impression is good. I have a few merz pieces and have alway been impressed. This has more of a luxury feel than a warehouse tee id say, which feels more rugged IMO.
Videos like this is why I stopped buying a lot of clothes I’ll just purchase a piece here & there quality over quanity goes a long way
i was actually hiking in the region the shirts are produced las year. beautiful region. kinda funny that now, a year later, i want to buy a shirt from there.
fantastic video. Greetings from Germany !
Hi how has the shirt held up since this video?
I have the same shirt!! Worth every penny however it did shrink a little after washing and drying (low heat). Good thing I went with a bigger size

Merz is definitely the shirt of the moment. Have you tried 3sixteen or Warehouse tees when you were at Selfedge? The latter can't really be oversized cause they're legit Japanese sizing though. I got a UES Ramayana tee recently and had to get a XXL when I'm usually a M/L

Cheers my friend thanks for the comment! I have seen the 3Sixteens in person, but not the Warehouses unfortunately, which is one I do want to pick up as I have heard a lot about those recently as well! The 3Sixteens were nice but just felt pretty similar to the Left Fields in my opinion, and I like the Left Fields a lot, so I didn’t buy them. So in reality other than seeing and feeling it in person, I can’t say I have had true experience unfortunately. I’m sure they’re great though because I buy from 3sixteen a LOT and the garments have always treated me well. Hope this helps! And thanks for the recs 😁🙏🏽🔥

@@AlejandroJomar I'm on a tee journey also. From what I've tried, the Warehouse tees run a little short and even their XXL fits the same as a US large so I can't recommend them for the price if you want oversized. Samurai, UES, Warehouse are all amazing quality but are all slimmer and shorter than my US sizing, even smaller than Uniqlo I mentioned 3sixteen because the quality was close enough to the Japanese brands while still being able to size up, and price wise I think you can get a 2 pack for roughly the same as what a single Merz runs for, while only being slightly less in quality. I was going to get a Merz B. at Franklin&Poe but I've been more into Japanese heritage at the moment

@@runthefuture i’ve heard that about the Warehouses, but I actually enjoy the cropped length t shirts these days to be honest. The true to size Merz B. has that kind of appearance as well. I do want to try and get into the Japanese Heritage stuff as well, but I’m just so satisfied with the Merz that it makes it hard for me lmfao 🤣😭 I’m definitely gonna do it for the content though. 😈🫡

So hypothetically, if Merz B Schwanen is a 9/10 white t-shirt (compared to an imaginary perfect *10* tee), what would you rate Lady White Co.? I have the 2s14 and the 215 btw and they are _fantastic._ Currently about to buy a 3sixteen tee, Whitesville 2-pack, Reigning champ tee, and considering the Lady White Co as well.

I have a bunch of Merz but my Whitesville are my favorites, longer sleeves, high and tight color, awesome build quality. And Carmy wears those too according to the costume designer.

@@goldendawn7 Man, I’m partial to the Merz tees tbh. Whitesville are definitely like the platonic ideal of what a tee could be from a “basic article of clothing” standpoint, but Merz feels more elevated.

@krisjones4051 I can absolutely see how Merz can be anyone's favorite, and they're a super close second to mine. That little bit that puts one above the other is sheer subjectivity and personal preference. Love mine and will buy more. Really want to try the 1970s shirts they do, can't find reviews on them anywhere.
Warehouse & co are great to just like Merz you have to size up as well.

Honestly I feel you and respect how you feel with your experience, I’m not sure what must have happened with yours. Mine have been great so far through all my washes, and while I do love the fit of mine, I can see what you mean about the fit, because it is more of a heritage style fit. Very straight body and short on the shoulders. I happen to like the heritage style so it works for me, but I can see why not everyone would like it. What t-shirts are you wearing these days may I ask?
