The Merz b. Schwanen 2M15C draws inspiration from the brand’s iconic 215 tee—famously worn by Carmy in The Bear. For the show, the wardrobe team custom-tailored the shirt to hit precisely at the belt line. The 2M15C recreates that same cropped length, offering an authentic, screen-accurate silhouette with a clean, modern look.

Made in Germany on original 1960s circular knitting machines, this crewneck is crafted from 100% organic cotton in Merz b. Schwanen’s signature sturdy jersey (6.8oz). The fabric delivers a soft yet substantial feel that maintains its shape over time. A ribbed collar, side seams for a refined fit, and the brand’s distinctive underarm gussets provide comfort, durability, and ease of movement.

Lightweight enough for everyday wear yet built to last, the 2M15C pairs effortlessly with denim, trousers, and workwear staples. It’s a timeless essential that embodies the understated style and exceptional craftsmanship that define Merz b. Schwanen.

Fit Notes: This T-shirt is not pre-washed, so you can expect approximately 3% shrinkage in length (about 2–3 cm) after the first wash. This shrinkage has already been considered during production, and extra length is included in the cut. As a result, the shirt may appear slightly long on first wear, but will settle into the intended fit after washing. The Merz classic fit runs slightly smaller than standard American sizing. If you typically wear a Medium in U.S. tees, we recommend selecting a Large in the Merz classic fit. However, body proportions vary, so please refer to our size chart for the most accurate fit.
