Merz b. Schwanen call on a rugged yet soft terry cloth to make these classically-inspired short sleeve crew neck sweaters. The shorter body, cropped sleeves, and garment-dyed finish call back to the vintage, silver screen styles of The Great Escape and Rocky. A raglan sleeve construction and a set of triangle inserts at the under arms provide a flattering fit with full range of motion. The organic cotton make-up has a relaxed drape with plenty of breathability. These crew necks are pre-washed for a worn look and minimal shrinkage.
