At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• The 230g/m2 knit weight makes this a primary choice for spring and autumn days when a t-shirt is too light but a jacket is too heavy
• Part of the ESP (Element Skateboards Program), this piece is built to withstand active use while maintaining a refined aesthetic
• Perfect for environments that require a put-together look, such as dinners or creative workspaces, without the rigidity of a formal shirt
• Ideal for individuals who prioritise garments made under the "Conscious by Nature" philosophy using certified organic materials

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This polo is cut with a straight, classic silhouette that provides a comfortable amount of room through the torso and shoulders
• The zip neck is designed to sit neatly over a plain white t-shirt or can be worn directly against the skin for a sharper profile

Washing & Care Instructions

• To protect the organic cotton fibres and the Blue Stripes, wash at 30°C with similar colours using a non-biological detergent
• We recommend laying the garment flat to dry naturally. This prevents the knit fabric from stretching out of shape, which can occur if the item is hung while wet
• Heat can cause natural cotton knits to shrink and may damage the zip mechanism. Air drying is essential for the longevity of this piece
• Use a medium iron setting and iron the garment inside out to keep the jacquard texture crisp and avoid any heat damage to the collar

Element ESP Paver Zip Polo Shirt - Our FAQs

1. How heavy is the 230g/m2 fabric?
   It is a mid-weight knit, meaning it is thicker and more structured than a standard long-sleeve t-shirt but remains breathable enough for all-day indoor wear.

2. Does the zip feel cold or irritating against the skin?
   No, the zip is finished with a protective internal placket to ensure it remains comfortable even when worn without a base layer.

3. Will the stripes lose their colour after washing?
   Because the stripes are jacquard-knit into the fabric rather than printed on the surface, the colour is deeply integrated and highly resistant to fading.

4. What does "Conscious by Nature" mean?
   This is Element’s commitment to using more sustainable materials, such as the GOTS organic cotton used in this polo, to reduce the brand's ecological footprint.
