OT - Bye week question about Duluth Trading Company

Submitted by WhoopinStick on
As a guy that doesn't like to go to the mall to buy clothes, and given that Duluth Trading Company is one of the primary sponsors of the Big Ten Network, I've thought about giving them a try.  However, as I've never seen any of their product in person I thought I'd reach out to the MGo community.  
 
If you've tried Duluth Trading Company what is your opinion of their products, do their sizes run true, and are they a company that you would recommend?

Ok - so I was hammered and watching the NHL playoffs and this ad came on. My kids (yes... sometimes daddy has a six pack hoping for the Wings to make 1 freaking stop in net) said I needed to get a pair of these. So I did. I bought 3 pairs (not cheap, I think $20 with shipping). They have a weird netting feel and don't really do anything other than chafe if worn too long. I wore a pair and went hiking for the day... um, no. One of three has already fallen apart. For my money I'll take Hanes any day of the week over these. And that's about all for my TMI post this week.

...are okay. Danner boots are hands down the best boots I've ever owned. I've had my current pair for about 15 years and they are as solid as the day they were bought. I also have a pair of Irish Setter hunting boots and highly recommend.
As far as DTC goes, buy Carhartt. Half the cost and more comfortable and durable.

Hat:  too big

Underwear:  Good, but doesn't compare to Exofficio for a similar price.

Fleece hoodie jacket:  Very nice cut & features, very warm.  Has some fleece quality concerns as it becoming very nappy at the cuffs.

Flannel shirts:  good colors, good fit, seem to be holding up to harsh wear.
