Pretty nice stuff in there when it is 30-40% off. I went in there based on recommendations here. Now my wife is a bit addicted to shopping there. That will probably end when the nice sales do.

I don't think I am going to have a drawer full of $15 underwear, but their men's khaki-type pants are nice. I may give their jeans a go next.

We went in years ago and were turned off by the prices. I like the 1 year warranty they have too.

They have tall sizes and 36” inseams, so they get my vote. I only buy during a sale.

Their bullpen underwear is a game changer.

Good stuff, but it is pricey. I also wait for sales.

Their ballroom jeans fit very comfortably and come in many long and odd sizes too. Definitely wait for a sale and/or free shipping.

Pricy? Yes.
Quality? Yes.

On Black Friday I bought 8 new pair of their “icy cool” underwear for $30 each.

I ‘hang dry’ much of my clothing and these will last me for years.

Their stuff is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for there. The Ballroom jeans and the FireHose carpenter pants are indestructible. Buck Naked Underwear is comfy, too.

Pricey and they use USPS. I am still waiting for a delivery that was supposed to be delivered in November. The last notice indicated USPS delivered it,but a package is nowhere to be found.

I have a drawer full of their $20 underwear. I started with the bucknaked boxer brief and switched to the bullpen.

I noticed the material getting thinner and thinner. This is probably my last order. I will be looking elsewhere. With the cheaper quality, high prices and the cancellation of the warranty which built their brand, there is little reason to by any more.

I like their jeans and cargo pants a lot. I have several shirts they made and while the they are very sturdy the sizing can be hit or miss.

They run sales constantly. Never pay full price.

You guys are so picky.... Yeah, I've got the U-trow on now. A couple of years ago we were out driving (to a grand kids soccer game) and saw the store. I bought a couple of pair of their buck nekkid ones. They were on sale and my wife was kind of amazed I selected them. But then I started wearing them. She'd do the wash and I'd pick them out and wear them first, shunning the friuty-loom. You know, the ones I'd been wearing for the 50 or so prior years. She gave up and bought a box of them when they went on sale. So we tossed out the tidy whitey's and now I've got maybe a dozen of the new kind. I'm a believer and I pay very little attention to trivial stuff like underwear brands.

I never even paid attention to what I was wearing, just the pair on top of the pile. Now I only select the color to match my golf shirt or whatever I'm also picking up. Never bothered before, white goes with everything. Funny how I never bothered before, and it only makes a difference now because she bought enough different colors to allow me to pick. But don't think I'm fashioned concious these days. If the pair I pick isn't on the top couple in the pile, I don't really care. Its my guess that the hot young girlies don't care either, nor will they see them. Getting me to color coordinate things might be the fashion victory of her lifetime. I consider advertisements all a waste of time and effort. The fact that I paid attention is pretty astounding. They shouldn't let it go to their head, I won't pay attention to clothing ads again.

I've noticed a strange phenomenon with Duluth. When shopping online I've been very satisfied with the purchases. I've used their work pants for years now. But, when I walk into their store I never buy anything. For some reason I'm just not impressed with their walk in stores.

Far from it. The firehouse material separates from the standard pocket material for me in every pair in just over a year.
Used to be no issue with their old return policy. Take back and get a new pair.
Not so with the new policy.

I like their stuff especially since they have large tall t shirts.
Their prices are just tough to pay even on sale. But I have a lot of their stuff.

I found Lincoln Outfitters pants yesterday at Rural King. They are $30, stretchy, crotch gusset, a mans hand can fit in the pocket even with things in the pocket, reinforcements on the pockets for a knife clip.

Dropping them in the dryer now. So we’ll see how they do.

I probably have several thousand dollars worth of their stuff. From cargo pants to shirts, socks, hoodies underwear all of it. I was obsessed with their Alaskan Hard Gear stuff for awhile there. It's spendy but it's been worth the investment so far. I have since parted ways with them for a number of reasons. They got rid of their No Bull guarantee was the start, then they pissed me off by wasting ten minutes of my time taking a survey they sent me promising me $5 off and free shipping on my next order only to cut me off half way through and said I was not the kind of participant they were looking for. Might sound trivial but it pissed me off.

Lastly none of their clothes are made in the U.S. I have taken a personal vow to buy U.S. made and manufactured anything whenever possible and will pay more for it if need be. Which in most cases you will and sometimes dearly.

Their stuff went the way of Carhartt brand a few years back. The only thing I still occasionally buy from Deluth is the firehouse pants. I used to live in Carhartt stuff but since they’ve went “fashion” I think the quality has fallen off. Both gave up catering to the working guy and went yuppster in my opinion. Not that it’s a bad thing, it drives their sales. I’ve went to cheap Wranglers/Rustlers anymore and they last as long for a third of the price. My opinion only...

Who have you found as a viable US made replacement.
I have only found US replacement for their short sleeve tshirts by way 3Fit Theory. Sadly they make nothing but Ts at the moment.

I have a lot of their stuff.. I used to buy the buck naked out of season when they were less than 10 .. I have a pair of the hog hide shoes that I may never wear out, especially since I bought a second pair on clearance. The flannel shirts are as good as llbean.

They are still advertising their no bull guarantee on their website. What changed?

This is what it says-

After one year, we will also consider returns for items that are defective or doesn't perform as designed. No Bull means if something goes wrong, we will always treat you right.

Triple Aught Design is American made and American sourced. Very nice cargo/tactical style pants they have some T's and jackets as well. Be prepared for some sticker shock especially if you think Duluth Trading is expensive. I'm going to purchase a pair of Triple Aught cargo pants as soon as I can decide what design I want. Start with that and see how I like them. Some of my Duluth Trading stuff is starting to show it's age.
