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.
No matter what the time of year, when the sun sets in NZ, a flannel shirt is the perfect top to throw on and keep cosy by the fireside or on an evening stroll. 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 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
- 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.

We're once again not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But we did realise there was a bit of a gap in our range for a 'daily' type sock. Thinner than your average work sock but still warm and comfy. Good enough to wear... Daily.
For all you old school people out there who think they'll be too warm for summer, merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer.
The Cactus socks come in black and in two sizes.
*When we say daily, we don't mean wear them everyday. We suggest changing your socks after use. Merino does have anti odour properties. But, they will probably stink after several days of wear without washing.

These are a lighter weight version of our Merino Socks – perfect for summer – breathable and non-stinky.*
And they have a 'safety first' reflective Cactus logo on the back.
Now, we know we're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like our other socks, and all thing Cactus, we've made sure these ones will go the distance.
These lightweight, reflective Cactus Logo socks come in black and in two sizes.
*We make no guarantees about stink-free feet – you will, unfortunately, still have to wash these socks.

A few months back while visiting the team at NZSockCo, Jared enlightened us to the fact that coloured socks were included in their offering. It was a fair point, other than our Mahi Socks, everything else on offer was black - boring black as a frequent customer of ours, Dave, calls it.
We raced back to Christchurch and flicked some designs through. A few months later and our new Tibia Socks were here. A little bit different, but something perfect for those who like a bit of colour in their lives.
In the early 90's in Wellington there were two communities - climbing and mountain biking. The Cactus Crew would make product during the week, and weekends were for hitching to various crags and races around the country. On the shores of Whanganui Bay in Lake Taupo, there is a climb known as the Tibia. Many moons ago, founders, Gwilym, Rob and Ben spent a fair chunk of time climbing the Tibia, and we thought it apt to name the sock after it. A nod to the simpler days.
Looks best with a Merino LS T-Shirt and a pair of Hangdog Shorts.
*Please note, socks may stretch over time depending on wear

We like to think of ourselves as hardy individuals. Drawing inspiration from an old high school teacher who famously tramped the Southern Crossing of the Tararua ranges in the depths of winter in bare feet, stubbies and an old woollen jersey, Rex is a legend.
But, we suspect that he, like others feels the cold more with age.
In honour of his exploits as a younger man, and to protect his (and all of our) hips and knees from the impact of the cold we introduce the Cactus Rex Merino long johns with the sartorial addition of a Cactus elasticated waist.
