Men's Clothing

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 lightweight 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 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
• Corozo buttons - these are made from the super-strong nut of the Corozo palm tree
• 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

Just when you thought that we had thought of everything, we've taken things a step further and introduced yet another member to the Supertrouser family. A denim version. But in true Cactus form, this isn't any ordinary denim. Made from a tough, Cordura denim, these pants have potential to become the greatest looking pair of denim trousers you ever put on. Like the Canvas Supertrousers, after about 6 months of hard wear and tear, they will have taken on that feeling of a second skin and look like they were made especially for you.

Because Cactus customers demand more than a pair of jeans to drink a latte in, we needed to find a fabric that could withstand a bit of a thrashing. This is why we went for the Cordura Denim which is 4x more abrasion resistant than normal cotton denim. The inclusion of high-tenacity nylon fiber helps resist tears, rips and punctures. 

These are a different fit to the Canvas Supertrouser pattern and are the result of some serious trials and wear testing to make sure we nailed it. The fit is slim (but not skinny) and has a lower rise and fit more like a jean than a canvas Supertrouser.

So if you're one of those guys who finds buying denim (jeans) a nightmare, look no further - these will tick all of the boxes and fit like nothing else. You can count on Cactus to get it right. 

• Cordura 12oz Denim is super durable, comfortable and wears in like nothing else
• 4x more abrasion resistant than normal cotton denim
• Still super practical for people who move their legs with the articulated knee design
• Slim (but not skinny) fit which can handle almost any social situation
• Clothing related embarrassing situations are minimised by YKK zips (because they’re the best) and bar-tacks at all stress points
• Cactus-Tough Lifetime Warranty
• Made in New Zealand

Please Note: Do not shorten (hem) prior to first wash as shrinkage may occur. These are a different fit to the Canvas Supertrousers*

These come hemmed to a standard length – see the 'Sizing' tab above.

For a longer leg length, you need Denim Supertrousers Extra Long.

If you need them hemmed shorter, we can do this for you. Just send them back to us – after you've washed them – with a note specifying the length you'd like them hemmed to. To work this out, measure your leg inseam – this is from your crotch to the floor, in bare feet. There is a charge for hemming.

Or you can hem them yourself. You do not require a heavy duty sewing machine for our denim, unlike our canvas. 

Cactus's answer to 'softer' pants.

The SOS's are the soft version of our 'Original Supertrousers'. The same cut and fit, only softer. They're also the 'long' version of the SOS Shorts. 

Made from polycotton drill and super durable - and our idea of durable is based on the Cactus Supertrousers so we don't make that claim lightly. 

Great features like quick drying fabric, mesh pockets and a triple stitched crotch. YKK zip and of course they come with our lifetime warranty on faulty materials and workpersonship. 

Available in any colour, as long as it's slimming black. Perfect pants for those summer weddings (if you can't get away with shorts)!

Made right here in NZ. 

If you've got the type of job where you can't wear a whole lot of Cactus, then we've made this Softshell Jacket just for you.

Designed for smart casual wear, this jacket is awesome for wearing with shirts, dressy trousers or as part of a corporate uniform. Or if you're headed from the farm to the bank, this clever jacket will smarten up whatever else you've got on. 

We've popped our logo on the left so that your company can put their logo on the right.

They are also great for keeping you warm and protected from bugs on the electric scooter ride into the city.

Cactus's answer to 'softer' shorts. These have been through some rigorous wear testing and we have come to the firm conclusion that they are the ultimate summer go-to shorts for biking, tramping and heading to the beach. 

The SOS's are the shorts version of our SOS Trousers. The same cut and fit, only shorter. 

They're made from a lighter, polycotton drill fabric, which has mechanical stretch and is super durable - and our idea of durable is based on the Cactus Supershorts so we don't make that claim lightly. 

Great features like quick drying fabric and mesh pockets, ideal for water drainage post jetty jumping. Triple stitched crotch. YKK zip and of course they come with our lifetime warranty on faulty materials and workpersonship. 

Available in any colour, as long as it's slimming black.

Made right here in NZ.

Down jackets or puffer jackets are a 'must have' for New Zealand winters. Good down jackets are never cheap so when you buy one you want it to last. This is why we thought that we should take on the challenge to make a tougher down jacket for those working and playing hard in the outdoors.  And we did - super tough winter jackets that stand up to gorse, firewood stacking, brushing past old farm gear and the likes.

In true NZ made style, we're always looking for ways to make our gear even better and our 2020 design tweaks do just that.  Strengthened in all the places we do repairs and taking on board customer feedback, the latest evolution of the Cactus Down Jacket features a grunty two way zipper, extra strengthening around pockets, a removable hood, a few more 'Michelin man' rolls, improved water repelling super powers rolls and so much more.

• 100% nylon two layer waterproof outer
• Adjustable and removable zip-off hood
  
• Extra strong main zipper with two way slider
• 750-loft white goose down. Ethically and responsibly sourced
• DWR treated down - this means when it's raining the down itself is water repellent, anti-clumping and carries on doing it's job to keep you warm and insulated
• Nylon taffeta lining with extra internal reinforcing on the lower back to avoid wear and tear around your 'seat'
• Two internal chest pockets, two external (fleece lined) hand pockets
• Fleece lined cuffs

Down jackets are a 'must have' in New Zealand for the winter. They're pretty much a uniform in the South Island. They're not cheap and when you buy one you want it to last. You don't want to have to worry about brushing past a tree or holding a pile of firewood and the fabric tearing. This is why we thought that we should take on the challenge to make a tougher down jacket!

But why stop there ... you can't get much more heavy-duty than our C-Canvas Supertrousers – so how about a down jacket to match? 

And here it is – the next-level tough, Cactus Canvas Down Jacket. This is not a lightweight, 'pop in your backpack for a daywalk' number. This is your hefty, super-warm, super-tough, big, burly, mega down jacket for outdoor professionals who need a durable, warm and reliable down jacket.

• Removable hood
• 750-loft white European goose down. Ethically harvested, sourced from Germany
• Premium C-Canvas outer, nylon taffeta lining
• Two internal chest pockets, two external hand pockets
• Fleece lined cuffs
