This sweat was brought to life through a close collaboration between Country Road, our Australian cotton farmers and Melbourne based manufacturers.

Proudly made with 100% Australian grown cotton, the fibres are spun and delivered to our Melbourne factories. Here, they are knitted into a fabric sheet, custom-dyed and cut into the original 90s pattern.

It's been really exciting to see brands like Country Road come back to Australian made. The textile industry had a pretty tough time for 10 years or so there, and to see Country Road saying we want to support Australian industries, has been really comforting. — Julian Collins - Sales Manager, ABMT Textiles
