Shirt: The third Lion Red beer branded garment in the collection, featuring dudes skateboarding, fishing, surfing and relaxing. Includes shots of iconic New Zealand flax, cabbage trees, pohutakawa in flower, what looks like an old Kingswood with surfboards on the roof and women in bikinis. Branded Lion Red and made in New Zealand of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Rather roomy, but if you’re a serious beer drinker it is probably a good idea to have some room to expand.
