This is no ordinary shirt. And it's certainly not for ordinary people, who only do ordinary stuff. This is a heavy-duty, extra-tough 6oz C-Canvas beast of a shirt for extraordinary people who need something a little different to your average workshirt.
We've had quite a few requests for a proper, Cactus-style canvas workshirt. We thought it would be too much for most people to handle, but we made one, and gave to a mate of ours who's a high-country farmer in Canterbury. After wearing it pretty much every day for a year or so he gave us the verdict: "Best shirt I've ever owned". The shirt has worn in and softened beautifully. That was good enough for us! So we now present to you, the Cactus HD Supershirt – based on our proven polycotton drill Supershirt design, but in a heavy-duty 6oz C-Canvas.
Designed to be roomy enough for ease of movement while working, and fit a lightweight merino layer underneath. If you're after a more fitted look, go for the size down.
- Proofed 6oz C-Canvas is super durable and wears in nicely
- Reasonably high collar and domed wrist cuffs
- Two domed and articulated chest pockets
- Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship
- Made in Christchurch, New Zealand
- Fabric: 6oz C-Canvas
- Weight: 640g (Medium)
- Use mild detergent or pure soap (preferably one that's nice to the earth)
- Our canvas has a water resistant coating which can shift and discolour through the initial break in period
- For best results handwash until the garment is broken in. Machine washing is fine after this
- Washing inside out will minimise lighter coloured creases on the outside of the fabric, but won’t remove stains quite as well
- Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
- If you slip with the saw and cut your shirt, send it back and we’ll fix it for you for a small fee (we’re not so good at fixing arms!)
- If you are still not sure, give us a call or flick us an email
