German brand Merz b. Schwanen manufactures cut and sewn shirts and underwear using traditional loopwheel knitting machines. The company had closed down once due to lack of orders, but was brought back to life by a man named Peter Plotnicki. Until it reached that point, however, there was a dramatic story behind the company´s history.
