Agreed. Also, no one in the trades wears their crap because it doesn’t hold up to real work. They do have funny commercials though.

I'm always looking for better options. What are some brands we should look for instead?

I went by the new Katy store yesterday. It was pretty crowded. The grand opening is March 8th, but they are doing a soft opening now.
They had a 20% off $75 or more OR $10 when you spend $50 or more. I got a pair of foreman's pants and a few pair of underwear. I will try them out to see how they work in the long haul. The underwear, while seemingly good, are very expensive.

I’ve worn Carhartt pants and shirts on industrial/commercial jobsites for years. I have pants that I’ve gotten five years out of with daily use. I didn’t get anywhere near that kind of wear with Duluth and their pants are almost twice the price and made in China. Carhartt still has some styles that are made in USA but most are imported now but unlike Duluth they’re not from communist China.

Good info to know since I need to start looking for Wrangler replacements. Thanks PowerSurge.
