Flash your legs for Men’s Health

Flash your legs for Men’s Health

The sun’s out so, Kiwi men, get ready to show some thigh this summer and raise money for Movember.

Stubbies love to get behind everything male, especially when it comes to men’s health and wellbeing. That’s why they are proud sponsors of Movember 2014 with $1 from every pair of Stubbies sold during November donated to the cause.

Stubbies NZ Marketing Manager Wendy Clark said:

“We are proud to be sponsors of Movember for a second year. We are passionate about men’s health and, if we can encourage Kiwi blokes to get their legs out this summer, even better!”

“Last year in conjunction with sales of Stubbies and the efforts of Team Stubbies, we raised $4,340 and we hope to top that this year. Our Stubbies team will also be donning their shorts to compete in special Movember challenges around Auckland!”

Stubbies aren’t just about the (in)famous short-shorts. They have a wide range of hard-wearing, good-looking workwear available online at www.stubbies.co.nz.

It’s a one-stop shop with the collection featuring an array of shirts, jackets, High-Vis, overalls and cargo pants, all machine chuckable and displayed on an easy-to-use, no bull website. Stubbies keep it simple.

The Stubbies original Cargo Shorts (RRP $29.99) are perfect for long, hot summer work days and for Kiwi men working on building sites, Stubbies have a range of quality, affordable high-vis gear as well as the popular Stubbies Cotton Overalls (RRP $44.95).

About Stubbies
Stubbies was founded in 1972 by Aussie Edward Fletcher who saw a gap in market for stylish, low-cost, all-purpose shorts. Retailing at just $1.99, the original Stubbies shorts were an instant hit and, by the end of their first year, more than 750,000 pairs of Stubbies were sold.

How did Stubbies get its name? Back in the 70s choosing a catchy name for the new shorts proved difficult. After many suggestions, including as Middies, Slinkies, Runnies and Donkeys, inspiration came from our favourite drink. After days of trying to come up with a name, a salesman got up and said: “This is thirsty work, I’m going out for a stubbie (of beer).” The meeting went quiet, everyone thought the same thing and the Stubbies legacy was born.
