The Crossroads tee is the staple printed tee taken to the next level, it features a dropped back squared tail for comfort and is emphasized by the panel work and crossed seams. The camo work is subtle and yet still tough as ever. Also featured is the womans cut off denim shorts which are cool as hell and some pot plants which are not for sale.

It was the perfect weekend for loading Thirsty Work up with some longboards and enjoying the sun.

We popped into Thanks, Mt Maunganui for a catch up today on the way to the beach.

If you are short on tomatoes, theirs are nearly ripe for the picking, don’t tell Luke!

Seafaring!

We are sampling up some new prints down at Diffuse (the best screen printers in NZ). It’s a hot and sweaty den, but they always deliver gold.

Christian on the screens!

These boys are far to busy to worry about a clean fridge…

Wutang Xmas!

These shorts have witnessed many a tee being printed…

This classic designed by HD Steve made it to Diffuses display wall.

We are excited to announce that we have teamed up with G-shock to release a watch. For this colab we have worked with the Gshock DW-5600EG-9VS model which was developed in 1987 and was the refined version of the original DW5000 which was launched in 1983 – the birth of G-Shock. This model has a classic and sturdy feel which we felt worked well with the design we envisioned. We have really enjoyed working with leather recently which brought us to incorporate a leather cover for the watch. The inspiration behind this design was taken from a classic leather protected watch that became popular with farmers as it was suited to the ruggedness of farm work. Farming is a major part of our heritage as a country and something that many New Zealanders have had ties with in their lives. Some of us have spent a lot of time on sheep farms back in the days and it is such a fascinating and rich part of New Zealand culture we felt it would be great to pay homage to this with our Gshock colab. Included in the watch package is a leather case lined with sheep wool and a sheep dog whistle to accentuate this theme.

The watch will be available on Tuesday 31st of January at limited stockists across New Zealand and Australia.
