First to test.

The Groundbreakers.

First on site.

The Groundbreakers are a hand-picked group of real tradies putting Natty's latest workwear through its paces before anyone else gets their hands on it. From the tools to the trenches, they wear it, work in it, and give honest feedback that shapes what ends up on the shelf. Real results from the people who know what a hard day's work looks like. Hand-picked tradies, wear-testing what's next.

THE PROGRAM

The Groundbreakers are Natty's hand-picked crew of real tradies chosen to wear-test unreleased gear before it hits the shelf. They're workers in the field, on the tools, and in the thick of it every day. We handpick people who know what hard work demands from design. As a Groundbreaker, you're not just wearing the gear, you're shaping it. You'll have a direct line into Natty's product development, meaning the workwear that ends up in stores is better because of you. It's a chance to be more than a customer, and to have your voice heard by the people making the decisions.

JESSE JAMES, PLUMBER

"Got involved early and it’s been unreal. Being part of the process and helping TO make PRODUCTS better FOR THE INDUSTRY is epic. No one does it better than Natty when it comes to getting the community involved."

PAULINE VARLET, ELECTRICIAN

"Natty was the first brand to back me and send me product, and I’ve loved working with them ever since. Being part of it early helped me grow my personal brand, and since then I’ve had the chance to work with some of the global leaders in construction."

ANDREW HOPKINS, CARPENTER

"My fellow fat heads! Natty hasn’t forgotten about us.. You genuinely will not find better quality work glasses on the market and there’s a style for everyone. I've got about 15 pairs and won’t ever buy anything else."
