ALL MEN'S CLOTHING

NOTE: The different coloured shirts are a different fabric. Light Blue is lightweight cotton, Olive is a medium weight cotton.

A fine tailored-fit short-sleeve cotton button-up shirt for when the hard work's done and you deserve a few cold ones.

This is a Cactus weekender shirt - designed for relaxing afternoons around the barbie. It also works nicely as summer office-wear, and for any other smart-casual situations you might find yourself in.

Matches very well with a nice tidy pair of, BBQ Shorts, Denim Supertrousers or SOS Shorts.

Note that we've made these shirts long in the body because they will shrink a little, especially if you hit them with a warm to hot wash.

• Made in Christchurch, NZ
• High-quality, durable 100% cotton
• Made with Cactus 'ethical construction' values

In keeping with the theme of ‘staple’ gear for Kiwis, we bring you the Cactus Checked Flannel Shirt. Now complete and glowing with awesomeness we’re all wondering why we took so long to make these.

From the tradie go-to work top, to the urbanite’s default classic and the weekend warrior’s dash-and-grab favourite, the flannel shirt has to be one of the most versatile items of clothing.

Now you can probably pick up a flannel shirt from your local red shed for the price of half a dozen (non-craft) beers but it will never outlive, look as good, or feel as amazing as the Cactus version. So what makes the Cactus Checked Flannel Shirt stand out from the rest?

• It’s made from quality, 100% Cotton, 233gsm soft and warm brushed flannel
• NASA grade thread (that's strong!) and military grade buttons
• Voluminous, generous length chest pockets - they fit notebooks & phones
• Felled side seams for strength
• Long back to save you from the infamous butt crack issue
• Roomy enough to nicely fit a Cactus merino underneath for extra warmth on those cold days
• Reasonably high collar - high enough to keep the sun off but not so high as to look like a dork
• Double layered shoulders for extra strength and durability
• NZ made - right here in Christchurch

Please note: shrinkage may occur in first wash.

Complete the uniform with a Cactus Supershirt and be the sharpest looking lad on the worksite (or at the cafe). These shirts work pretty well with Supertrousers.

Supershirts have evolved. The weight of this new fabric is 200gsm, falling nicely between our previous light and heavy supershirts. The lighter weight makes it great to wear, but it had to be Cactus level of tough and Cactus level of quality. It's a well thought out beast:

• Made from 100% cotton fabric - being non-synthetic it won't stink
• NASA grade thread (that's strong!) and military grade buttons
• First ever ambidextrous pen holder chest pockets (left and right)
• Voluminous, generous length chest pockets - they fit notebooks & phones
• Felled side seams for strength
• Long back to save you from the infamous butt crack issue
• Roomy enough to nicely fit a Cactus Merino underneath for extra warmth on those cold days
• Reasonably high collar - high enough to keep the sun off but not so high as to look like a dork
• Double layered shoulders for extra strength and durability 
• NZ made - right here in Christchurch
• Long Sleeved or Short Sleeved

These shirts are a very relaxed, loose fit so if you’re wanting a fitted look (to show off your gym work), go for the size down.

It took us a while to add shirts to the Cactus range, because we wanted to make sure we got it right. We couldn't just make any old shirt - it had to be Cactus level of tough and Cactus level of quality. Our Supershirt is a well thought-out beast. It's s lighter version of our classic Supershirt. The same cut and fit, but in a summer-weight version of our cotton drill shirt fabric – and in two new colours: French Navy and Palm.

"We use these in civil contracting jobs, so they get a hard life in the trenches, dirt, grease, sun etc. But they last really well! It's hard to look sharp in a dirty job, and these are as much as you can hope for durability and colour fastness."

Step Up is the ultimate Cactus tee for those hard core tradies or DIYers who love to cruise around with a ladder on their shoulder. The tee itself is sewn in workshop right here in NZ and the print has been done down the road. It also beats most other Tees hands down in a quality contest.

Even our screen printer said they were the best quality and cut of tee he had seen in a long time, so you know they're worth the money.

Cactus T-shirt comp winner Christina came up with this cracking Tee design - the Southern Cross inspired Navigator Tee.  We think it's pretty New Zealandy and even better that both the tee and the print are made right here in NZ.  It also beats most other Tees hands down in a quality contest.

Made locally right here in Christchurch, NZ, a Cactus tee is not just any old t-shirt and this print has an especially cool backstory. The 1992 Tee is a reboot of one of the first tees Cactus ever made, way back in 1992.

"Back in the early 90s, Cactus was founded as a way to keep a few folk from having to get real jobs and in an effort to provide the best locally-crafted apparel and backpacks to our people. One of those people was Mr D Best, otherwise known as Tobius D. The Cactus Climbing and Space Exploration was our first ever print and was a play on words (a backpack is, after all, an enclosed space. Thus Cactus was all about exploring space.) 30 years later, the only things that have changed are our PO Box and phone number - we're still exploring space and still doing it 100% here in New Zealand." - Ben Kepes, Founder

Made from 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane they've got a slight stretch, and superior comfort and durability.
