Fire hose pants

Much cheaper and just as good options out there. I doubt you will stand down a beaver in a pair but they do hold up pretty well.
I have a pair. Very sturdy - very warm. Almost TOO warm if I wear them in the summer. Not thrilled as much with the cut of them.
They're too heavy for summer wear. That said for hard field use in fall/winter, they are well made.
For day to day wear (office, range, hunting, pretty much everything) I wear the Wrangler "Riggs" (sub-brand) Ranger cargo pants. They're ripstop, fit rather like summerweight BDUs, and are stout enough to hold up to hard use (being made for construction workers) yet not overly heavy. Good pocket placement and they cost about as much as the Firehose pants.

Yes, I have ordered from Duluth and will keep ordering a great place to deal with. As to the fire hose pants they are on the heavy/stiff side of things. Generally too heavy for just wearing around unless it's real cold or you're going to be working outside in them. Duluth's buck naked boxers are excellent. Their front pocket wallet is also a winner.
Cargo pockets - so 5 years ago.

Firehose is the new tough fabric. I have firehose dog toys which held up pretty well.
I never spend that much on work pants. My job is extremely tough on pants. Even the toughest pants will get torn, ripped and burnt. For me work pants are a consumable item. I cannot justify paying that much for them.
When I read the title of this thread, I couldn't help but think of letterk.

I have a bunch of their Longtail Pocket T shirts. I like the extra length and they seem to hold up pretty well. I haven't tried any fire-hose. I don't have a use for pants that heavy.
I'm generally pleased with the quality of the firehose vest and ballroom jeans I own from Duluth, though I wish the fabric was thicker in the jeans. I wear their longtail tees as undershirts daily.
I've said it before and I'll say it again- when you guys stop noticing them, I'll stop posting them.
I have a pair and have used them while beaver trapping. They are great pants and, I think, worth the extra money.
I buy their longtail t-shirts also. They are extremely durable. They are soft. They don't shrink. They come at an average price, but are on sale often. One thing DTC does is have high quality products.
At $50, I wouldn't consider that price to be extremely high, though as a work pant, it should probably be lowered by 10-15 dollars. I don't know about the rest of you, but non-walmart or sears brand jeans are at this same price-range. Sure, you can get cheap jeans, but they often deteriorate quickly, are uncomfortable, and have terrible cuts.
I've ordered from there from time to time for a variety of items...gloves, work pants, shirts. Always happy with how well they hold up with my daily use of them outdoors in the snow and cold.
No, I've not ordered anything from Dultuh trading company. However, I've got a few pair of Filson Single Tin and Double Tin Pants that have held up for years. I use Filson, pants, coats, jackets, vests and socks for harsh conditions and rugged terrain or rough work.
IMO....you can't beat Filson quality with lifetime, no questions asked, guarantee.....http://www.filson.com/products/oil-...lsProduct=mens/pants-shorts&fmetaProduct=1011
