At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Daily casual wear for individuals who appreciate the substance and "three-dimensional" texture of waffle-knit fabrics.
• Building a high-quality "smart-street" rotation focused on classic patterns and premium material handles.
• Summer social events where a standard t-shirt is too casual, but a traditional pique polo feels too formal.
• Those seeking a reliable striped polo that coordinates effectively with navy chinos, black denim, or stone-coloured shorts.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This polo features a loose fit, offering a generous cut through the chest and body for a relaxed, boxy drape.
• The midweight waffle-knit fabric provides more structure than a typical jersey tee, helping the garment hold its shape throughout the day.
• The "Wax" stripe offers a soft, vintage-inspired look that pairs exceptionally well with earthy tones or raw denim.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size to benefit from the intended loose and comfortable profile.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a delicate cycle up to 30°C with similar colours to maintain the Dion Stripe integrity and fabric texture.
• Do not tumble dry; hang the polo to dry naturally to preserve the organic cotton fibres and prevent shrinkage.
• Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C on the reverse side to keep the collar looking crisp.
• Wash the garment inside out to protect the textured waffle surface and the woven Square Label from abrasion.
• Avoid the use of harsh detergents or bleach that could compromise the softness of the 100% cotton knit.

Our Dion Polo FAQs

1. What is "waffle" fabric?
   It is a knit characterised by a recessed grid pattern, which increases the fabric's surface area for better moisture management and airflow.

2. Is the fit similar to a standard golf polo?
   No, this is a "loose fit" streetwear style, meaning it is cut wider and more relaxed than a traditional slim or tailored polo.

3. Will the collar stay in shape?
   The turn-down collar is constructed from the same durable cotton waffle, designed to maintain a tidy appearance with proper care.

4. Is it heavy enough for autumn?
   While designed with short sleeves for summer, the midweight waffle texture makes it a great layering piece under a jacket during transitional months.
