Original Supertrousers Mens

Cactus Supertrousers might just be the world’s best general purpose trousers and they’re made right here in NZ. These trousers can handle a shortcut through the gorse, nailing up some framing, or fitting the chains on the access road. On the flip side they are just as sweet for waiting for your fix at the local coffee cart, stylin’ at a BBQ, or sitting in the office dreaming of better things. There are two types of people out there, those who love their Supertrousers, and those who haven’t bought any yet!

If these are a bit baggy for your liking, check out our slim-fit version – they're not your super skinny hipster jean; you can still build a house in them. If you're after some full-featured, work-specific trousers, Trade Supertrousers might be for you. If your legs run hot, check out our Supershorts.

For shorter inseams, add 'Hem Shorter' to your cart and specify a length in centimetres.

• Essentially, Canvas Supertrousers and Supershorts require a bit of a wear-in period to soften the fabric.
• The first three or so washes should be done by hand, then you should be right to machine wash.
• Use cold water with a mild powder detergent, rinse thoroughly, very gentle or no spin and line-dry.
• Do not iron, dry clean, spin-dry or use bleach.
• When new, the stiffness of the fabric means it creases in points rather than soft folds - washing them in an aggressive or hot machine can cause damage on the crease points.
• Our canvas also has a waterproofing agent which, if washed in an aggressive or hot machine, can shift and discolour. This will appear as white lines which cannot be removed.
• 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)
• Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
• Note that all the colours will lighten with use and washing as the natural cotton content of the fabric won't take a dye fixative in the same way as a 100% synthetic fabric.
• If you get attacked by a pig and the fabric gets holed while saving your reproductive potential send them back and we'll patch ‘em for a small fee
• If you are still not sure, give us a call or flick us an email
