With Season 2 released just a couple of months ago, there has been a lot of hype recently over Jeremy Allen White's, aka Carmen's character in the FX show The Bear. In what has been potentially the show of the summer across the pond, the main character 'Carmy', without giving any spoilers, in a nutshell struggles with the realities of running a small family business.
Being an aspiring chef in fine dining restaurants, in Season 2 he returns to his hometown Chicago to take over his family's sandwich shop after a passing in the family. Carmy's appeal in the show is thanks to costume designer Cristina Spiridakis, who is responsible for everyone asking what was Carmy wearing throughout the show?
After speaking with the team at Merz B, Christina confirmed that the t-shirt in question was the famous 215 tee, adding that "when you see them in person, when you interact with them, it's just different". Carmy's character is reflected throughout the show deeply valuing well-produced, timeless garments, with the pilot episode showcasing his vintage denim collection, so it definitely makes sense for the show to opt for the German craftsmanship of Merz b Schwanen to match.
