The Element ESP Easy Double Knee Pant in Dark Navy is a rugged, lightweight alternative to heavy workwear, utilising a 180g/m2 poplin made from recycled cotton. Reinforced with double-knee panels and a gusseted crotch, these pants are built to withstand abrasion while allowing for total freedom of movement. The breathable poplin fabric and functional design make them a reliable choice for the skate park or long weekend walks, providing a tough layer that remains cool and non-restrictive.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Active outdoor use and light hiking where the lightweight poplin fabric provides excellent breathability and durability.
• Skateboarding and urban commuting for individuals who require reinforced construction and a non-restrictive gusset.
• Building a sustainable wardrobe by opting for GRS certified recycled materials that reduce reliance on virgin cotton.
• Casual daily wear for those seeking a "easy" trouser that coordinates perfectly with organic cotton t-shirts, hoodies, or technical shells.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These pants feature a relaxed fit, offering a generous cut through the seat and thighs before narrowing slightly towards the ankle.
• The 180g/m2 poplin fabric is crisp and lightweight, providing a structured look without the heavy weight of traditional canvas work pants.
• The Dark Navy colourway is a versatile essential, serving as a sophisticated foundation for monochromatic or earth-toned outfits.
• We recommend taking your usual size, as the elasticated waist and internal drawcord provide a very flexible and forgiving fit for various body shapes.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle up to 30°C to preserve the integrity of the recycled cotton poplin and the pigment.
• Wash the trousers inside out to protect the reinforced knee panels and woven labels from surface abrasion during the cycle.
• Hang the pants to dry naturally away from direct sunlight, avoiding the tumble dryer to prevent excessive shrinkage and maintain the fabric's crisp texture.
• Use a cool iron if necessary to maintain the clean lines of the pockets and tapered leg, though the poplin weave is naturally quick-drying and resilient.
• Avoid the use of bleach or harsh detergents, as these can compromise the strength of the recycled fibres and cause premature fading.

Our Element ESP Easy Double Knee Pant FAQs

1. Is poplin fabric tough enough for work?
   While lighter than denim, this 180g/m2 poplin is a dense, high-quality weave reinforced with double-knee panels, making it surprisingly tough for active daily wear.

2. What is the benefit of a gusseted crotch?
   A gusset adds a diamond-shaped piece of fabric to the crotch area, removing the four-way seam intersection to allow for much greater freedom of movement without the risk of tearing.

3. Are these suitable for summer?
   Yes, poplin is prized for its breathable and lightweight properties, making these an ideal choice for warmer months when you still need full leg protection.

4. Is the fly functional?
   This model features a "fake fly" stitching for a classic trouser look, but it functions as a pull-on jogger with an elasticated waist for maximum ease of use.
