Any of their stuff really that good.

I’m thinking about giving the work pants a try, jeans don’t cut it and I’ve been trying out canvas type carhartt’s, but I’m thinking about getting a set of Duluth fire hose pants to check those.

I do a good deal of chainsaw & lawn work, and handyman type work so I’m hard on them.

I got a pair of jeans, used off ebay. A lot cheaper to try it out that way. They are good quality, but really didn't fit me right . Apparently, nobody makes pants that fit short guys built like a toad.

Yep. They are that good. The pants are actually softer than Carhartts due to the way they are woven. I like the cargo pockets and the dividers. The front slash pockets are elbow deep and the rear pockets are secured by Velcroed flaps.

On an average day, just about everything you see me wearing and everything you don't except for my socks are DT. I have about four different types of DT jackets, gloves and daily wear hiking boots. Even my cold weather parka is DT's Alaska Hardgear Ice Fog parka, but my bibs are Carhartt Arctic weight.

Been wearing their stuff for more than 20 years. Carhartt longer than that and still do. My latest purchase was an Alaska Hardgear shell that was on sale, made in Vietnam, excellent jacket.

We wear quite a bit of duluth clothes. I really like the fire hose pants. Even there bibs are strong for how lightweight they are.

I have several of their shirts and feel that they're well made and worth the price. The pants I feel are overpriced and have not tried them yet. The shirts are generously cut and fit me well, I like the pockets and the detailing.

Duluth Fire Hose pants are da' bomb! I don't know if they ever wear out, although I've been trying. Much pricier than my usual Walmart Wranglers, so my wife buys me a new pair for Christmas every year. The Fire Hose flex jeans are also very nice and as well made, just lighter in weight. I love them.

Theirs are my choice of underwear, for sure. Absolutely the best quality I've ever found. I don't have any fire hose pants, but I do have a fire hose sports coat and a cap. Both are soft but durable.

I bought a couple pair of the Flexible Fire Hose pants (carpenter pants) and they're as comfortable as sweat pants to me. I don't think I've even put on my old carpenter's jeans since getting the Duluth pants. I like the pockets on the legs for carrying various needful things.

Unless the price doubles or something, I doubt I'll ever buy anything else. They ARE pricey, and worth it.

You need MC Hammer pants.

Pretty good stuff, just wish more of it was made in the U.S.A.. Their lightweight merino wool socks are really good and they are made here.

Get on their mailing list. About once a month they have 25% off sale that lasts a few days. Agree with all the positive comments above

There return policy is great. No questions asked. I'll order something on line and luckily we have a store nearby. My wife has had to return one of her hard gear coats cuz the zipper broke and they told her to just go get another one.

Been wearing the pants and shirts for about a year, it’s hard to wear jeans again after you get used to them.

I have worn them for years but I am rethinking purchasing any additional clothes, I am trying my best to buy USA made products but it is not that easy as I am finding out.
