Features

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.

  • Premium C-Canvas is super durable and great to wear
  • Made by happy people who’ll be even happier if you buy some
  • Handle tricky manoeuvres with the articulated knee design
  • Casual styling 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
  • Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workpersonship
Care
  • 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

Best Customer Service

Bought these pants for my husband as a birthday gift. We knew we'd love the product, but the customer service was excellent too. When shipping to the US became complicated (because the US system is a joke) Cactus took care of everything. I spent hours on the phone with FedEx to no avail, followed by minutes chatting with Cactus with an easy fix. The reassurance that "we'll get this sorted for you" was never better to hear. Thanks for being awesome!

Awesome trousers

Durable as hell. I needed to swap for the large which is bulky on me, as the medium is tighter than mediums normally are around the middle - in fact the large is not a lot larger. Might be good to have some means to expand/tighten the waist in the design.
