Supershorts - our original “free standing” shorts. Supershorts are constructed with our tough, comfortable C-Canvas. Not the cheapest material in the world but we’re yet to find a better material – its combination of durability and breathable comfort is what makes these shorts possible.

Antelope, Black and Olive are all made from our new Premium C-Canvas, a durabe 12oz canvas with a softer finish.

These will end up being possibly the most comfortable shorts you own - and they’ll stay that way for a long, long time; truly shorts that wear in, not out. If you need proof of the comfort and durability, James chose them for a 18,000km bicycle ride around the globe. We’ve got them framed up on the wall of fame here at Cactus HQ. Think a lighter weight pair might suit you better? Go and visit our SOS Supershorts. Don’t want to inflict your lower legs on innocent bystanders? Try our Supertrousers. Proudly made in NZ.

  • Premium 12oz C-Canvas for excellent wear-ability and unrivalled durability
  • Perfectly balances on the smart/casual continuum
  • When the going gets tough bar-tacked stress points hold it together
  • YKK zip – smooth and strong
  • Phone pocket
  • We can custom hem to what ever length you like (for an extra $25) - just add 'Hem Shorter' to your cart
  • 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

Another 4 years of short wearing awaits

Super nice to have a crisp new pair of supershorts!
Looking forward to getting another 4 years out of a garment I wear most of the time
