MEN'S SHIRTS

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."

Practical, warm, and just the right amount of fancy - we bring you the Cactus Merino Polo Shirt. 

Built for those who often find themselves shooting from the site/farm straight into a meeting (or anywhere else it is frowned upon to wear a smelly tee). Check out the Long Sleeved version, if you're more into that.

Made from 100% merino, this Polo Shirt will warm you up on cold days and cool you down on warm days. It is naturally odour resistant, so you could run around in it all day and end up in a somewhat-fancy place without stinking the place out. One of our Cactus Crew tested this theory for a whole week without washing and noone had any complaints.

So what's so blimin' good about it? In a nutshell:

• It's 100% merino. Epic.
• Naturally odour resistant (phew!)
• Fast drying
• Comfort stretch
• Retains its shape
