In 2010 Peter Plotnicki, tailor and fashion designer, found a piece of German underwear dating from the 1920s at a flea market in Berlin - a working man's undershirt. This chance find initiated a voyage of discovery for Peter into the world of traditional German garment manufacturing and ended with the creation of Merz b. Schwanen. Men's File visited the factory in the town of Albstadt in the Swabian Jura to photograph the manufacturing process embraced by Mr. Plotnicki and to talk about his underwear odyssey
