I know, my wife used to manage a Swandri outlet store in chch, I have many jerseys from just before they went to china and a couple that were early chinese manufacture. Needless to say the Chinese versions have a lot more stitching problems like holes appearing in pockets and keep getting those loose lengths of thread that wrap around your knees or down your neck.
And one of my mates used to shag Davey Hughes daughter in Levin, so he got given the job as head of international sales for Swazi. He just thought it was a great way to pick up chicks when he got the business card out, wouldn't see that in an overseas company.
Its a shame the owner of Cactus Outdoor is a bit of a D-bag because they have some good gear but id hate to think im putting money in his pocket by purchasing it.
Ill stick to Stoney Creek gear, wherever that comes from?
