Welcome to The Alternative Store Cactus Sweatshirt

Joining our growing flora range, our Cactus Sweatshirt is a hark back to the foundations and beginnings of our brand, which was born out of an extended trip to Central America.

Inspired by the terrain of the area and of course the iconic cactus, this piece is a nod to where it all began over 30 years ago!

Made from 85% organic ring-spun combed cotton and 15% recycled polyester. As those who have been in our store know, this makes our sweatshirts super soft with a warm fluffy lining, whilst also providing a more sustainable and planet-friendly option to regular cotton.

Fit: Slightly small fit for a sleek, modern look
Tip: For a more relaxed or comfortable feel, we recommend going one size up

Fabric: Crafted from 85% Premium Organic Cotton blended with 15% Recycled Polyester for superior softness, durability, and sustainability

Weight: 350 GSM – slightly thicker than most sweatshirts, offering a rich feel, enhanced warmth, and long-lasting quality

Perfect for all-day comfort with a premium, eco-conscious touch
