Tuff Gear for Tuff Use
A range of working gear for the farmer and those who like to do a bit of hunting with dogs. All cut and made with canvas and oil skin from Australia, and NZ-made webbing and binding tape. I only use quality materials, and as I cut and make each product myself, I have 100% control over the finished product. Because I’m a sole trader, I have the ability to make adjustments to the products I make, if required.

Testimonials
“The vest and collar I got from Shirley were both extremely well-made, and gives awesome protection to my little mate. We had a few sizing issues because my dog is a lot smaller than the usual pig dog, but she was very helpful and keen to get the small problems sorted and getting them fitting perfect. Best made gear I have come across, and would recommend to anyone interested in giving their dogs good protection in the field. Thanks again.”
“Thank you so much for the Junior Chaps I bought May last year, the quality exceeded what I expected, and the after-sales service making sure I was satisfied has been brilliant. My nephew was hunting on Sunday in them and when I asked, he is just as happy to have them as the day he got them. Thank you again.”
“Shirley was great to deal with and very helpful, would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a rip vest.”
“The rip vest works very well, so much so that it saved Braden’s dog’s life on the weekend, and his only dog ended up with a small tear that the vet says does not even need any attention. We can see the numerous little fabric tears which shows just how bad it could have been if it didn’t have that vest on.”
“The adjustable straps on the chaps are great, they are nice and light and very pliable when they are worn. The material is also remarkably quiet in the scrub, and I was in thick blackberry this week and no scratches. If I get 12 months use out of them I will be stoked, however they will last longer than this. I also use them when riding the horse for leg protection and when slaughtering beef as a contract homekill butcher, as overalls are too hot and absorb moisture and blood. Very multi-purpose.”
