Redirect sub domains to sub folders

    I am in the process of changing the architecture of a site from:

    subdomain1.domain.co.uk/product_a
    subdomain2.domain.co.uk/product_b
    subdomain3.domain.co.uk/product_c

    to:

    www.newdomain.co.uk/brand_a/product_a
    www.newdomain.co.uk/brand_b/product_b
    www.newdomain.co.uk/brand_c/product_c

    Basically, the subdomains are brand names, I have always hated the architecture so changing to a better subfolder system.

    When I go live I know I need to use .htaccess for my permanent redirections, but for the life of me I can't figure out how it's written, anyone any ideas?

    It's a WordPress/woo site.

    Thanks in advance

    This will redirect subdomain1.domain.co.uk/product_a to www.newdomain.co.uk/brand_a/product_a


    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain1.domain.co.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.co.uk/brand_a/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
    Code (markup):

    A more general rule if the subdomain and the subdirectory are sharing the same name:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.co\.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.co.uk/%1/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
    Code (markup):
