the whole shoe is fired in a kiln for 70 minutes in a process known as ka-ryu

a more time consuming method leading to a higher quality finish

then out and about town at night

Through hard wear

A classic returns

Merz b. Schwanen 3S48 Loopwheel Heavyweight Sweatshirt - Dark Navy pants the whole shoe is firedMade in Germany on Merz b. Schwanens fabled loopwheel machines, the 3S48 pushes the limits on heavyweight knits without compromising on comfort. This sweatshirt comes in at a heavy 14. 8oz, yet is comfortable as can be. Though knitted on loopwheel machines, the 3S48 has side seams for a more modern fit. Painstaking construction, and a hand thats both hefty and soft, this piece can be dressed up or down for years to come.
