OuterKnown Industrial Outerknown Pocket Tee
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Sustainably Built for Everyday Wear
The Industrial Outerknown Pocket Tee is the brand's foundational statement piece, built on the mantra "Sustainably made quality goods, tomorrow, today." Crafted from Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) cotton, this tee sits at the intersection of responsible production and genuine everyday comfort. ROC cotton goes beyond conventional organic farming by prioritizing soil health, farmer welfare, and ecosystem restoration throughout the supply chain.
The result is a fabric that feels noticeably softer and more breathable than standard cotton, with the durability to keep its hand-feel wash after wash.
Fit and Construction
Cut with a relaxed fit, the Industrial Pocket Tee wears easy without being boxy. The classic crew neck sits naturally at the collarbone, and the short sleeves land at a clean, casual length. A chest patch pocket with a debossed circular Outerknown logo badge adds function and signature detail without over-branding the shirt.
An Outerknown flag label at the side seam is the finishing mark of quality construction, a detail you find on the brand's most carefully built garments.
Why Regenerative Organic Certified Cotton
Standard organic cotton prohibits synthetic pesticides. Regenerative Organic Certified cotton adds a higher tier: farms must actively rebuild soil carbon, protect biodiversity, and meet strict fair-labor requirements. Outerknown uses ROC cotton across its core tee program because the certification is externally verified, not self-declared. When you wear this shirt, the sourcing claim behind it has a paper trail.
Wear and Care
The lightweight, breathable construction moves comfortably from a morning surf check to an afternoon errand. Because the cotton is undyed with harsh chemicals and sewn for longevity, Outerknown recommends cold wash and low-heat dry to preserve the fabric's softness and extend garment life. Full care instructions are on the interior label.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Regenerative Organic Certified cotton?
- Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) cotton is grown on farms that meet rigorous standards for soil health, biodiversity, and fair labor practices. It goes beyond standard organic certification by requiring farms to actively restore ecosystems, not just avoid synthetic inputs. Outerknown uses ROC cotton to back its sustainability claims with third-party verification.
- How does the Industrial Pocket Tee fit?
- The tee is designed with a relaxed fit that wears casually without being oversized. The crew neck and short sleeves keep the silhouette clean and versatile for everyday wear.
- Is the Outerknown Industrial Pocket Tee worth it?
- For buyers who prioritize material quality and responsible sourcing, yes. The Regenerative Organic Certified cotton is noticeably softer and more durable than commodity cotton. The relaxed fit, clean crew neck, and minimal branding give it long-term wear versatility at a price point consistent with ethically produced basics.
- How should I care for this tee to make it last?
- Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low heat to preserve the cotton's softness and prevent shrinkage. Avoid high heat, which can break down natural fibers over time. Full care instructions are printed on the interior label.
- What makes the Outerknown Industrial tee different from a standard pocket tee?
- The key difference is the fabric. Most pocket tees use conventional or standard organic cotton. The Industrial Outerknown Pocket Tee uses Regenerative Organic Certified cotton, which is third-party verified for soil health and fair labor. The construction details, including the flag label at the side seam and the debossed logo badge on the pocket, also reflect a higher tier of finishing than a typical basics tee.

- Outerknown was co-founded with sustainability as a core operating principle, not a marketing add-on. The brand sources certified sustainable and recycled materials across its product line and publishes supply chain transparency reports. The Industrial Pocket Tee's use of Regenerative Organic Certified cotton is consistent with that broader commitment.
