Description:

Cactus Outdoor has been making NZ made outdoor and workwear gearsince 1992. But despite this pedigree, we're still a young company run by people who spend most of their spare time in the outdoors. We have an innate understanding of what works, and more importantly what doesn't, and that understanding is shown in our products - high quality items that have been crafted with care to include all the features that are important, nothing superfluous and, above all, that are more durable than anything in the marketplace.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 lightweight 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 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, NZHigh-quality, durable 100% cottonCorozo buttons - these are made from the super-strong nut of the Corozo palm treeMade with Cactus 'ethical construction' valuesMachine wash in cold water.Rinse thoroughly.Line dry.Warm iron.Do not dry clean or bleach.Liquid error (product-additional-content line 59): Expected handle to be a String but got FalseClass SizingIn 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.

A denim version. But in true Cactus form, this isn't any ordinary denim. Made from a tough, Cordura denim, these pants have potential to become the greatest looking pair of denim trousers you ever put on. Like the Canvas Supertrousers, after about 6 months of hard wear and tear, they will have taken on that feeling of a second skin and look like they were made especially for you.Because Cactus customers demand more than a pair of jeans to drink a latte in, we needed to find a fabric that could withstand a bit of a thrashing. This is why we went for the Cordura Denim which is 4x more abrasion resistant than normal cotton denim. The inclusion of high-tenacity nylon fiber helps resist tears, rips and punctures. These are a different fit to the Canvas Supertrouser pattern and are the result of some serious trials and wear testing to make sure we nailed it. The fit is slim (but not skinny) and has a lower rise and fit more like a jean than a canvas Supertrouser.So if you're one of those guys who finds buying denim (jeans) a nightmare, look no further - these will tick all of the boxes and fit like nothing else. You can count on Cactus to get it right. Cordura 12oz Denim is super durable, comfortable and wears in like nothing else4x more abrasion resistant than normal cotton denimStill super practical for people who move their legs with the articulated knee designSlim (but not skinny) fit which can handle almost any social situationClothing related embarrassing situations are minimised by YKK zips (because they’re the best) and bar-tacks at all stress pointsCactus-Tough Lifetime WarrantyMade in New ZealandPlease Note: Do not shorten (hem) prior to first wash as shrinkage may occur. These are a different fit to the Canvas Supertrousers*These come hemmed to a standard length – see the 'Sizing' tab above.For a longer leg length, you need Denim Supertrousers Extra Long.If you need them hemmed shorter, we can do this for you. Just send them back to us – after you've washed them – with a note specifying the length you'd like them hemmed to. To work this out, measure your leg inseam – this is from your crotch to the floor, in bare feet. There is a charge for hemming.Or you can hem them yourself. You do not require a heavy duty sewing machine for our denim, unlike our canvas. • 12oz Cordura denim - 13% Cordura, 87% mixed cotton (4x more abrasion resistant to normal cotton)Machine wash in cold water only. Rinse thoroughly, line dry. Do not dry clean or bleach.Pant length will reduce by approx. 4cm during initial wash.Please note: When new, be careful not to ruin your mates brand new white leather seats in his/her Mercedes - the indigo dye does tend to bleed a little (this is common on all quality denim products). WaistThe measurements shown are of the garment itself.

Now complete and glowing with awesomeness we’re all wondering why we took so long to make them.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.

This is why we thought that we should take on the challenge to make a tougher down jacket for those working and playing hard in the outdoors.  And we did - super tough winter jackets that stand up to gorse, firewood stacking, brushing past old farm gear and the likes.In true NZ made style, we're always looking for ways to make our gear even better and our 2020 design tweaks do just that.  Strengthened in all the places we do repairs and taking on board customer feedback, the latest evolution of the Cactus Down Jacket features a grunty two way zipper, extra strengthening around pockets, a removable hood, a few more 'Michelin man' rolls, improved water repelling super powers and so much more.100% nylon two layer waterproof outerAdjustable and removable zip-off hoodExtra strong main zipper with two way slider750-loft white goose down.

Only nowadays they've been revamped to suit to a more holistic, lifestyle-based approach to recreating outdoors.Hangdogs are made from a soft but durable polycotton drill fabric that also has a wee bit of mechanical stretch.

In a nutshell: The secret is in how the fibres are held together. Traditionally, fibres are twisted together for strength but in the process, the ends poke out, giving materials like wool their characteristic of the itchy Grandmas home knitted jersey feel.Like wringing out a cloth, air pockets are squeezed out too. Cactus Merino on the other hand, lays the fibres along the same orientation as the rest of the yarn, so fabrics feel more comfortable. Because more of the insulating air is retained, Cactus merino materials are warmer and loftier than ring spun materials. The measurements shown are of the garment itself.Body WidthBody width is measured from underarm to underarm (just the front, not front and back).Body LengthBody length is measured from shoulder point to hem.If you've got the type of job where you can't wear a whole lot of Cactus, then we've made this Women's Softshell Jacket just for you.Designed for smart casual wear, this jacket is awesome for wearing with shirts, dressy trousers or as part of a corporate uniform. Ideal for tradeshows, corporate events or client visits, this clever jacket will smarten up whatever else you've got on. We've sewn our logo on the left so that your company can put their logo on the right.They are also great for keeping you warm and protected from bugs on the electric scooter ride into the city. MeasurementsPlease note that the measurements are of the actual garment size so this means that when you measure yourself you'll be wanting a size that measures a bit bigger than your body.  Back Length - Bottom of collar to bottom of jacketChest - at armpits (around the whole body)Hip - across hem (around the whole body)Arm Length - Shoulder neck point to sleeve hemDown vests or puffer vests are a 'must have' for New Zealand winters and without the arms, they're great for autumn and spring too. Good down jackets are never cheap so when you buy one you want it to last. This is why we thought that we should take on the challenge to make a tougher women's down vest for those working and playing hard in the outdoors.  And we did - super tough vests that stand up to gorse, firewood stacking, brushing past old farm gear and the likes.In true NZ made style, we're always looking for ways to make our gear even better and our 2020 design tweaks do just that.  Strengthened in all the places we do repairs and taking on board customer feedback, the latest evolution of the Cactus Women's Down Vest features a grunty two way zipper, extra strengthening around pockets, a removable hood, a few more 'Michelin man' rolls, improved water repelling super powers rolls and so much more.100% nylon two layer waterproof outerAdjustable and removable zip-off hoodExtra strong main zipper with two way slider750-loft white goose down.
