Shirt orders:

Cobalt blue Pilbara shirts embroidered with the AACS logo can now be ordered in time for the Cotton Research Conference.  Made of light weight premium 100% cotton, they are mercerized and double pre-shrunk.

Not only are they likely to be the ‘in vogue’ fashion for the conference, but they’re also great for around the office and out in the paddock.

Available in men’s (XS-6XL) and women’s (6-18) styles.
Order online (orders close 4 August) and pick up at the conference registration desk.
