@gdl203 I have a question for you (or anyone else in this thread who knows). I’ve purchased this 3 pack from NMWA and am super happy with it. Have a friend who’s giving me **** about getting it and loopwheels being too expensive (I disagree wholeheartedly), that sent me a link to this listing from Franklin and Poe. Not at all unhappy with my purchase but I am curious, is there a difference between these shirts? Price difference seems big. Merz makes so many different loopwheel tees but they also all kinda look the same to me. Thanks

Special box set of 3 1950s crew neck T Shirts in White, Grey and Deep Black (restock)

For a lighter and easy-going tee, Merz developed this 1-count organic cotton version for everyday wear, and at a great value. Still knitted on original loopwheeler from organic cotton, the 1950's has a classic round crew neck and we put together this pack

Merz b. Schwanen 1950's Crew Neck T-Shirt - White

The Merz b. Schwanen 1950's T-shirt might be as close as you can get to being back in the 1950's, short of making your own time-traveling DeLorean. A simple, classic t-shirt in an unbelievable lightweight, loopwheeled cotton fabric. This really is the t-shirt you've been waiting for, McFly.

I’m not going to speak for no man’s pricing but I can right away see several areas in the business model that are different at F&P. I can assume those factors might account for the price difference.

I have no problem with NMWAs pricing, still going to shop there. Was just curious since Merz has so many t-shirt variations if they are even the same shirt.

 

[gdl203]

Same shirt ! Not sure why or how they are pricing it this low but I think ours come out around $70 per shirt, free shipping included. It's a little more but not extravagantly more. I can only guess they mispriced theirs or did not do a good job at calculating their fully landed costs and margin...

Also wanted to note that, with the 10% styleforum discount, pretty close in price.

Edit: just realized Greg already included it in the math. But there's rewards too ?

Yes that's what I meant re $70 per shirt

 

[JayDotz]

They also charge shipping so it’s $67 at F&P, essentially the same as nmwa.

Plus the NMWA team occasionally sends chocolates so you’re basically losing money not buying from them.

We do this so we can sell all of our XXXL sizes 6 months later

Also there's always half price off for Founder's Circle members.

Great explanation. Even if it was $20 more per shirt I would still buy from y’all because I know where my money is going.

Edit: I feel compelled to say, I think your retail pricing on all the items is fair. The SF discount is just a nice treat. Price isn’t really a compelling reason for me to shop somewhere, just wanted a reasonable thing to tell my friend besides “why is price the only thing that matters to you.”

@smittycl if your referring to the blue ikiji polo sweater, I will whole-heartedly concur that it is awesome.

I appreciate it!

Also, I have to add that sometimes we calculate prices based on a given EUR/USD exchange at the time of our order, but FX rate can vary quite a bit so I'm not completely surprised to see prices that could end up 10-20% more or less because of a different USD cost at the end of the day. I don't think Merz has USD retail prices that they communicate to retailers, but those would help smooth out those small differences
