Printing Methods
We use both DTG and DTFx methods depending on the design...
DTG
Our main printing method (called DTG) lays ink straight into the fabric fibres, capturing every fine line and colour gradient of the design with precision. The result is a soft, natural feel — no thick plastic print sitting on top of the shirt. It's the ideal method for vintage-style artwork where the subtleties of the design are what make it special.
Most of the clothes are printed in this DTG method, such as the beautiful vintage bird designs and the superb worth a walk tee.
Tui Vintage Graphic Supersoft Tee
Soft lightweight fabric constructed with pure ring-spun cotton for a premium durable and soft garment.
The North Island's favourite.
Bold, beautiful, and a little bit cheeky — the tui is as Kiwi as it gets. That iridescent plumage. The white throat feathers. The way it dominates a flowering tree like it owns the place. The tui doesn't blend in, and it never apologises for it.
This tee is a tribute to one of New Zealand's most iconic native birds and the forests they call home.
Stand out. The Tui always does.
This Tui tee is for those who love this land and the birds that define it.
Printed into the fabric for a natural finish using DTG — detail that does the Tui justice.

Worth A Walk Tee
Some things you can't reach by road.
The best views, the clearest rivers, the wildest campsites — they all have one thing in common. You have to earn them. A few hours on your feet, a bit of elevation, maybe some wet boots along the way.
Worth a walk? Every time.
This tee is for everyone who knows that the walk is part of the point — not just the destination.
Designed by NZ Adventurer — for the trails, the ridgelines, and everywhere worth the effort to get there.
Printed with DTG — detail that does the trout justice.

DFx
Where appropriate some designs use DTFx printing so that design is heat-pressed directly onto the fabric, giving you sharp, vibrant colours that won't crack, peel, or fade — no matter how many river crossings, campfire nights, or victory washes it goes through. This produces longest-lasting prints with ultra vibrant colors. In this method the print sits on top of the fabric, so prints are less breathable - so this method is used only a few designs where breathability isn't such an issue such as the Rainbow Trout and Tui tees.
Rainbow Trout Graphic Tee
 The fish that earns its name.
That flash of pink and silver in the current. The take. Then the explosion — clear of the surface, once, twice, three times — rod bent double, line screaming, heart hammering.
The rainbow trout is New Zealand's most electric backcountry quarry. Fast, wild, and impossible to forget once you've watched one tear straight for the rapids with your fly trailing behind it.
This tee is for the ones who've earned those moments. The long walks in, the careful approaches, the casts that actually mattered.
Designed by NZ Adventurer — worth a walk.
This product is printed with DTFx — built to last as long as your best fishing stories.
The design is heat-pressed directly onto the fabric, giving you sharp, vibrant colours that won't crack, peel, or fade — no matter how many river crossings, campfire nights, or victory washes it goes through. Learn more about printing methods here.
