Anybody have any experience with these? Looks interesting and I don't mind spending more to get a pair of pants that last.

Some of the complaints in the review section are that they are heavy.

Anyway...input welcome.

Nice pants and a very interesting website.

ETA: Shit, they have 2 type of shirt that I have been looking all over. Not good for my wallet.

I got a catalog from Duluth TC several years ago and saw those pants and a very long tail T Shirt. Never ordered them and wish now I had ordered some of them. I would guess they are kinda heavy, but so are Carhartt's. Just gives you longer wear I suppose.

The pants that the company buys for me are Carhartt Washed Duck 12oz Dungarees. About $40-50/ pair. Pretty much the same as the Duluth pants.
Kind of stiff when BFN but they lighten up over time. You cant wear them out. Tough as nails. Great pants.

As I said in another thread, I wear their heavy weight Long tail T's and Henleys most of the time. Yea, a little pricey but well worth it for the quality. They make good stuff.

I didn't think the price was to bad...I've got some F.U. money laying around from selling that kidney....jk. I'll order a pair and check them out and give a review in a couple weeks. I need some fall/outdoor workpants anyway.
