Does anyone here have any experience with the Fire Hose Work Pants offered by the Duluth Trading Company (http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/mens-pants/work-pants-for-men/92204.aspx)? I noticed the pants while flipping through a catalog, and am curious to hear some from someone with first hand experience. I'm tempted to order a pair, but at that price I'm having a hard time finding the justification. I suppose if they really out last three or four pair of other pants they would pay for themselves, but I don't know if that claim can be believed or not.

Everything wears, but to have pants that last more than a year would be amazing.

It was tough for me to kick down the big bucks for my first pair of Duluth Firehose Work Pants but I love them. Their work shorts are great too.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

I am in a production with a guy who is a fireman and rescue guy. HE loves his and said that they do last. He says they wear like IRON. Good enough for me. All the firemen have them he says.

They EASILY outlast 4 pairs of jeans bought today. They last at least twice as long modern Carhartts--the fabric itself isn't that much better than Carhartt duck, but the stitching and the cut is. Not only is the gussetted crotch more roomy, it lasts longer because the seam isn't right where all the stress of moving is.

I also like their jackets--there are enough pockets to hold all your handtools for gardening and fixing fence at the same time.

It is usually easy to find jackets cheap in their clearance section--maybe the wrong color or just end of season. Getting a deal on their pants is a lot tougher.

if you want to go to a heavy duty, but little cheaper pair, try Arbor Wear, for tree workers.

I have 2 pair of firehouse and 4 pair of Alaskan Hardgear. All are great. Do wait and buy on sale. My experience has been that full price can be as high as the mid 80s while the low price is in the low 30s.

I should test this, as I have managed to wear through their fire hose briar pants. Which, by the way, I swear by. Won't send them back, just going to patch the worn out spots

Also just bought their fire hose double front and the new version of their briar pants.
