Element x Millet MXE Roped Party Long Sleeve Tee in Shadow Blue

Roped together to escape the concrete jungle

In mountaineering, a roped party is a team of climbers tied into the same rope, moving together and catching each other's falls. That's exactly the story this longsleeve tells. The small angular figures, the emblem of the whole MXE collab, grip onto each other on the chest, run down the left sleeve in an unbroken chain and frame the back graphic like a border. Inside that frame, a mountain photo rendered in flat cyan and electric blue, almost solarised, carries a message in broken lettering: Escape Concrete Jungle. The idea is simple: get out of the city, find rock and open air. On the chest sit the Millet M and the Element tree in bright blue, and inside the collar, the red MXE label.

The relaxed fit gives a roomy body and dropped shoulders, with a length that lands just below the waist, not too cropped, not too long. The 220 g/m² single jersey is 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton: a substantial weight for a long sleeve that drapes well and never goes sheer. The graphics are done with water-based ink, which soaks into the fibre instead of sitting on top as a plastic layer: the finish is matte, the hand stays soft and the print moves with the fabric. A ribbed crew neck, rib cuffs and a flag label stitched into the side seam finish the piece cleanly.

The organic cotton breathes well and softens with every wash, making it a solid base to wear on its own in transitional weather or as a first layer under a fleece or overshirt in winter. The ribbed cuffs stay put and don't stretch out when you push your sleeves up. Water-based inks age with the fabric, fading slightly rather than cracking, and the dense jersey holds its shape at the collar even after dozens of washes.
